Title: Wii pay and play...
Post by: thunderhero4 on April 13, 2008, 08:53:18 PM
to all who havent heard, Nintendo announced a new feature called wii pay and play! Whenever you see a game with a red Nintendo Wi-Fi connection logo on the box, you must pay to play online or it has downloadable content!

Another thing to go along with that: Thanks to this new thing nintendo has worked out DLC for GH3 on the Wii! Look for it between this month and sometime this summer!

They already said no DLC on Guitar Hero or Rock Band because they say they need a HDD for that.

If that's true, there's gonna be some lawsuits.

there is a hard drive in the works too! And apperently songs for GH dont take up much memory and they are able to store it without a hardrive for the mean time...they can go back on their word about no DLC, just like they did with saying you can play all Wii games online for free! (*cough*PAYANDPLAY*cough*)

I'm quoting them directly:

Guy 1: To answer that question, there will be no DLC for Rock Band on Wii.
Guy 2: I mean, come on Nintendo, we need a harddrive.

Also, proof that a HDD is being made, please.

Dude, those videos were SO painful to watch...  I could feel brain cells dying and IQ points dropping with every second that passed...  Couldn't afford to watch all the way through, my sanity was at sake. 

But I will say that they are not 100% accurate.  The thing about the second hand smoke, and nintendo fixing for free wasn't exactly right.  Accourding to Nintendo, it was dirty lenses not limited to smoke.  And they were only fixing for free the Wiis that couldn't play Brawl, and you had to provide the Brawl disc in order to get it fixed.

Those videos were...lacking. But the Wireless Nunchuk made me happy.

The fact WiiWare is the first to get this pay and play feature is awesome, I look forward to the whole set up.
