Playstation offered their online for free on the PS3 and it was leagues better than what Nintendo still offers. If Nintendo wants to charge for online that's fine, but they need to step up their game. Can you even voicechat? I know select games like the Pokemon games support it, but does the actual system support it natively? If they plan to charge the same rate they need to play a little bit of catching up. They have been getting better, but it's at a very slow pace.
