Almost all the EA games coming out this year will be online, Madden, Fifa, Medal of Honor.

I pretty sure Bwii will be online. Once they start rolling with Wi-Fi, alot of games will be online, just like the DS.

Man. Lots of news in the...how many days that I've been gone.

Cool about the Sonic thing in that Spanish mag. Too bad, according to the IGN Boards, it's just a Photoshop doc....although, the fact that there's a PSD of it doesn't necessarily mean it's untrue. But jeah.

The whole Miyamoto on Earthbound/Kid Icarus was an incredible read, thank you.

Also: RE5 is NOT Wii bound...right?

I don't think so. I also took a read of Soulcalibur [it's one word now] Legends in EGM. The good news is, it looks like it'll turn out good even though it isn't a 3D fighter like SC4. It's an adventure game so those of us who got a little bored owning or getting owned by your friends can enjoy owning cannon-fodder.

The bad news is, that even Xbox gets SC4 and Wii is stuck with a spin off. I also heard SC4 is going online [this is bad new to us because we're missing out on online =( ].

P.S. Sensai, did you purposely stop posting when you reached 3,333? If so don't worry, I would have too.

if you've played them through and gotten everythin in oth games, i guess save them until you find a game you want and then trade them for store credit at gamestop or EBgames

Tsk tsk...how can anyone not like Zelda? Either way, get RE4. And then sit on your *** and wait like the rest of us for MP3.

Here's something interesting...there might be some kinda 'surprise' by the end of September for us Wii owners.

http://kotaku.com/gaming/clips/reggie-taunts-us-with-september-wii-surprise-282063.php

[Edit:]

At the end of that video, the guy pretty much point blank asks Reggie if Smash is going to have online and Reggie gives him, quote, 'that knowing smile.'

Why are they keeping it secret if it's there? I thought that it was supposed to have it from the get go!? Why are they toying with us like this?!

Those sadistic *******s.

I'm going to get the rifle gun.

Also, I got the Wii charger for the Wii motes and it works great. At first, one of the rechargeable batteries was deffective, then I exchanged it and got a new one and that one works perfectly. Soo... get the Wii charger.

I was looking at the list of Nintendos exclusives (now outnumbering their competitors) and sadly its more of the same crap we've had this year. If Nintendo had gone the the way of the PS3 and 360 AND included the wiimote they would have hands down had the best console of this gen. I know they don't care but it would have been so cool.

I love my Wii, really, it's really not about graphics, it's about gameplay and quality and so far Nintendo wins in quality because really, most of its games are purchased some of them suck and some of them pwn.

Here's where I think the Wii is right now-
1.360
2.Wii
3.PS3

Here's the Wii in the Fall
1.PS3/360
2.Wii

Here's where it will be by December 5th
1.Wii
2.PS3/360

EDIT: These Wii jokes write themselves!

Honestly, I believe the Wii will be first way before December comes out. Actually a lot of games are releasing in November of this year. If my memory is correct, Metroid Prime 3 is releasing in November right? O_o

Anyway, I love my Wii so far. Being able to play roms on the big screen is awesome...especially the classics like Super Mario World and Mario Bros. :D Just waiting for Mario Bros. 3 to be released. >.< I can't wait until I'm finally online playing games, have to fix something in my car before I can get Strikers...:/

Without a microphone and multiple other people yelling at you and each other, it's just going to seem like playing against a computer with some lag.

I don't think Wii is going to be in first forever. Whenever I look at the games coming out for Wii I always lose a little hope because most of the time it's a first party that has been done before.

Not that sequels aren't bad but deja vu starts to set in when you're looking forward to the same series over and over, and if Nintendo keeps up this "less hardcore" mentality their customers will just be people who just happen to find a game or 2 that they like. Not to mention there's still no hard drive yet.

I agree nintendo should have made the Wii more powerful after all the GC was almost on par with the Xbox and the system retailed for 200$, the Wii cost 50$ more and it's by far the weakest console I don't care much for graphics but they add some points to the game IMO.

Having said that the Wii lineup is looking good games like MP3, SSBB, FE10, No More Heroes, Disaster: DoC, Zack & Wiki, Manhunt 2, BWii etc the 360 lineup looks pretty good as well.

mic, you could always turn of the voice chat. it's fun between friends and sometimes between random people.

but i don't have to have voice chat, it's not like playing a computer. in ames like MPH you can see human behavior, etc.

i still think it's stupid that we were basically forced to buy wii sports. seriously japn's wii retailed for about $200US. :p

Yeah, I really would want voice chat in online games. Oh, and a hub/lobby. Why Nintendo hasn't done this is beyond me.

EDIT: Also, I saw No More Heroes, seriously, the game looks dumb IMO.

Miss the memo? It's August 27th, bud.

Anyways, I'm still not convinced about Strikers.

Apparently I did miss that memo. XDXD

As for the Wifi thing, I also want it to have a headset, but you have the option to have it on or off whenever you wish.

Yea it will be fun, the first decent online game for nintendo.
Although hindering the online play is the lack of voicechat in addition to having to add 16 digit friend codes.

Voice chat is great, and if you dont like the person who is yellin obsenities, you just mute their ***.
