And who cares about friend codes? So they're not fluffy names you can cuddle, but it means you can have ANY gamer name you wish, without crying your eyes out because 'IR1337' has gone.

Talk about picking holes...

it's annoying because for each game there are unique friend codes. the friend code is not universal for each game.

and no one is knocking it, it's just not nearly as global as the xbox live one is. and if you think it's up to par with the xbox live service, then as i stated earlier, chances are you have never used xbox live.

Define what you mean by 'global'. You mentioned that twice and it's either just used completely out of context or I don't understand what you mean. I'm will to accept you are using it as a term to mean all encompassing, but you need to expand on that.

It all depends on what your priorities are. Do you want to play games? Yeah, I do, so the DS model suits that. I don't need voice chat on a handheld system. chat will just be full of trash talk kiddies as ever. Just give me a game!

On the Wii we have pi*square root of F-all idea what services will come with WiFi Connection, so this is ALL conjecture.

by global I mean it's a backend that every game for the system has to work on. it has to pass certain certifications to meet a certain quality. they know that the online play will support the friends associated with xbox live, they know that voice chat will be associated with xbox live, they know that the leaderboards and achievements will be associated with xbox live.

on the DS I too think the way it currently is setup is fine. they have probably 5 games that have online play, maybe more. However when 90% of the titles have online multiplayer, which includes team play and co-op, communication is a necessity if you want to get the job done. and if you don't think this is true, play on a team based game of halo 2 with people who aren't talking, and then play with a team that is talking. you will do much better on the 2nd team.

and that whole thing about EA has nothing to do with xbox live ...

You have no evidence to suggest that WiFi Connection for Wii will not have these features.

Bolded part is because of all the manufacturers I trust Nintendo to ensure the quality of this service the most. They are all about the gaming experience.

I do see some of your points for Live, I really do, but this isn't Live versus WFC. Some people have just come out swinging at something they know nothing about, before it is launched, based on a soundbite from an interview. All of a sudden from some posters it's 'Wii IS SH!T!', 'Nintendo must DIE!!' and the drums are being thwacked for the masses to gather at the sacraficial table.

Let the fvcker be born, then we can decide if it needs to die.

:roll: OK, you can avoid the facts all you want.

You haven't posted any.

Seriously, read the thread or just don't bother posting here.

wtf can you please go back and tell me where i said that WiFi connection for Wii doesn't have those features? I never said that anywhere, I was just stating what was good about xbox live ...

like others have said, go re-read the thread before you make another post ... and the fact that each Nintendo WiFi game on the NDS needs a DIFFERENT friend code for the SAME DS for different games is pretty hard evidence that there is no global backend for the NDS, and if the Wii is to be like the NDS, it'll be the same way. entering a friend code to play Mario Kart then entering a different friend code to play my same friend in Tetris is a pain in the ass.

and for the record, I'm getting Wii on launch, so don't think I'm some anti-nintendo MS fanboy.

Since the Wii will have built-in flash memory for storage....I'm hoping this is the one thing they fix.

Umm.. again, read the thread. If you would you would notice the people like myself and purbeast0 have been defending the Wii. We just happen to think the Live will continue to be the best online service. People are bringing up the DS because it's the only online service Nintendo has right now. And since it too is using a free model it gives us a potential basis for comparison. The bottom line is I don't think a free service will ever be able to match a pay service like Live unless Nintendo is willing to shell out some big bucks to support it fully themselves.

Now I've got you ganging up with the brick wall Thraxen, whom I will ignore as he is comparing the DS service with THAT OF A FULL SIZE HOME SYSTEM WITH A BLOODY HDD. And now so are you. The topics title doesn't have DS in it, so you are making assumptions, and with all know what that means.

Bolded the pertinent part of your post and if putting in two codes burns your ass, just think about the fact that you typed 755 characters in responding to my post, vs the 32 you'd need for two codes.

It isn't out of line to make comparisons to the DS because Nintendo has already said that the Wii will use the same matchmaking and friend codes as the DS. What we don't know is if they'll enhance it/fix the shortcomings when they make it part of the Wii online service.

Again, it's the only basis for comparision. I'm sure it will be more comprehensive, but I simply don't think a free service can match the features of pay service. It's all speculation both sides, that's a given.

We'll just have to see. Don't forget that the service will also be revenue generating with the back catalogue and other downloadable content. It's not really free.

I still enjoy playing Zelda, RE4, or Metroid Prime on my GCN more than a dozen "next-gen" XBOX 360 titles.

I guess I like playing good games versus pretty-looking crap games.

And one last thought to chew on:

While there are a lot of Nintendo fans here, the company is betting on NEW blood to fuel the success of the Wii.

So while a lot of you won't even consider buying one, you're not Nintendo's concern. They'll get their sales numbers from the same people who are making the NDS/Lite and games like Brain Age take off worldwide.

you're the dumbass who only bases his games on graphics. you'd probably play "watch the paint dry" as long as it had realistic graphics, right?

it might be a good idea to shut the fvck up before you make yourself look more like an ass.

btw, i haven't owned a nintendo system since the SNES.
Ok so lets see here...the Wii has inferior hardware. And we're not talking Gamecube vs PS2. Significantly inferior. We've established there will be roughly equal amounts of quality software on every system. Why should anyone buy a Wii again, except as a third console?

btw, I own a Gamecube.

That's one point in Nintendo's favor. That have a massive back catalog of classic games. The question is wether or not that will generate a enough revenue to support online system as comprehensive as Live? Will Nintendo even attempt such a comprehensive service? At this point, I don't think they will be able to match Live. But that's just my opinion and Nintendo could well prove me wrong.

But I'm not making any judgements on the system or its games. I plan to buy a Wii myself, but right now I'm buying it for the games, not the online service.

you're the dumbass who only bases his games on graphics. you'd probably play "watch the paint dry" as long as it had realistic graphics, right?

it might be a good idea to shut the fvck up before you make yourself look more like an ass.

btw, i haven't owned a nintendo system since the SNES.
Ok so lets see here...the Wii has inferior hardware. And we're not talking Gamecube vs PS2. Significantly inferior. We've established there will be roughly equal amounts of quality software on every system. Why should anyone buy a Wii again, except as a third console?

btw, I own a Gamecube.

Just buy the system with the most shiny bits then. :thumbsup:

:laugh: What does this have to do with buying a Wii? I posted in this thread claiming the Wii to be a poor console choice. Hardware is inferior. Software is undetermined, but probably equal. You're the one that came to its defense. Remember? Or do you just buy any and every system that has a good game on it?

Oh, and it seems with your repeated insults that you have some real problems accepting people with other opinions. Might want to see the middle school counselor about that.

You have no real information to go upon other then it being inferior graphically. You're the one trolling, so you deserve the insults.

And you have no real information in favor of the Wii other than the Wiimote. Thus making it extremely illogical to be excited about the Wii unless you place more value on the Wiimote than a large graphical difference.

considering I know about 5 people personally who played the Wii, I guess I am "legally" allowed to be excited about it. (according to you of course)
