"But at least we are not thinking of asking our consumers to pay money to just casually get access to our ordinary online services."
Last week Iwata ruled out an Xbox Live-esque subscription model for Wii U, stating that it wasn't appropriate for Nintendo's audience.
"We have a wide variety of consumers, from the ones who enthusiastically play video games to those playing more casually, who are not always interested in them but try to play a game only when it has become a public topic or play it just during certain periods, like a year-end season and summer vacation," he said.
"We therefore believe that services which ask our consumers to obtain paid memberships are not always the best."
