Friend Codes are optional for 3rd parties, EA dfoesn't use them for example. I'd expect Capcom won't bother since they can self police on a pay service.

If i'm paying a monthly fee for a Wii game, they'd better euthanize that stupid Friend Code system.

I would be surprised if Capcom charged for Monster Hunter Tri here. The series just isn't as popular as it is in Japan, but then again Monster Hunter wasn't a huge hit on the PS2 and Capcom had fees then. They also took out those fees for North America so it seems like they'll do the same thing.

I'm not keen on a monthly fee, I just don't think I'll get enough use out of Monster Hunter G or Tri to pay it, but if I had to pay for a Wii online RPG I would go with microtransactions.

Tri carrying a fee in Japan is a given, the question is if they'll charge in the west too. They didn't with MH1…

Capcom is pratically charging for a game that was released two years ago and was free to play. I wouldn't be surprise if they are charging for Monster Hunter Tri online mode.

I'm very, very curious to see whether or not they charge for online play for Monster Hunter Tri over in the U.S. when it finally releases there. MH has never been popular with the Western audience, but that awareness is growing amongst the hardcore crowd that keeps track of games that catch on in Japan.

Still. Whether or not charging for online play for Wii is a smart thing to do or not, I don't know…maybe they could go with a micro-transaction-based model.
