Iwata: 'Nintendo is not interested' in free-to-play
"I'm not interested in offering software for free of charge," he said. "That's because I myself am one of the game developers, who in the future wants to make efforts so the value of the software will be appreciated by the consumers." Although freemium games can make money through ads and microtransactions, Iwata expressed concerns about "[destroying] the value of game software."
So, uh, don't expect that Wii U version of Ghost Recon Online to be free-to-play, even though the PC version is.

Considering the wii pulls in less revenue than the other consoles in most countries (Not japan, take a guess why lol) I think that they should reconsider their thoughts on this. Some things are WORTH paying for... so show us the wii U is one of them.
