No fees for Wii online gaming
Reggie Fil-Aime, president of Nintendo of America, has confirmed to USA Today that the Wii's online gaming feature will be absolutely free.
"Q: You're not pursuing a subscription model?
A: We view online gaming as essentially an enhanced way to enjoy the gaming experience and drive more sales of hardware and software."
So for $250 (or less), Nintendo will provide everything you need (minus the games) to get online and play. Sweet!
