Hopefully this will hit the market just in-time for the next batch of Sega Sports games and hopefully Seganet, or whatever they decide to call the new servers, will remain free.

So we should expect this adapter sometime next June?

Well, I think it's smart they they'll have the option for broadbnd or dialup. Sadly way too many people can't get broadband yet.... and I also think that price is pretty good too. As long as some good games come along and support it, it sounds nice.

According to Reuters, Nintendo's Vice President Perrin Kaplan said that they will not collect any kind of access fees or additional revenue for their online games. Individual publishers will be responsible for providing networks for their games to play on. This implies that Nintendo's online games will be free once you buy the game itself, while third parties are free to setup and charge for their online games however they like.

I hear there is no fee to play online for PSO, if that's true it would kickass, I finally would get to play this game.

anyone?..

anyone?..

$40 a month (a common price) for broadband ain't bad, when you consider how much faster it is than dial-up.

Back to topic, I wonder if GCN PSO runs at 60 fps now. Hope so!

So Nintendo's first party online games won't have a monthy fee, but 3rd party games might... does Nintendo actually have any online games in the works? Because I'm pretty sure that Sega will be having a monthly charge for playing PSO on the gamecube.
