Are you a kid? Nintendo is gonna make you pay for your account...

With that logic, how would a kid even get the console in the first place if he or she didn't have parental consent.
This seems like a way to make a quick chunk of change out of people who just bought a $300.00+ console for their kids.

[/quote]No laws? There are indeed laws. That fee isn't to play online, that fee is for Child Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) that was implemented. It's part of the process for minors (13 and under). Nintendo isn't charging the fee out of their own profit, it's for that law.

At first I was confused about the fee , but thanks to that link it clarifies and makes sense.
