Email for you Mii friends, after learning how finally, it is kinda crappy compaired to just about all other forms of communication (except smoke signals). The updates, doesn't make my games play any better. The wii store, isnt that what wal-mart is for? (except when you buy something at the wii store you dont really get anything except a nontangable old game that you probably had on your nes, snes, or n64) Or that wonderfull ability to register your games online.... what good does that do since you cant play them online anyway???? I guess I dont see the point of it being WiFi.
The only truely great part about the whole thing is that Bill Gates has another oppertunity to dominate the world by improving the Xbox to have all the functions of the best.... Isnt it about time for there next console? Maybe it will have an interactive body suite, virtual world game play, HD graphics, and a cup holder.
Sure hope that Nintendo gets online game play on the top of their priority list.
It is their missing link.
Wow, im like, shocked. This was like, wow....
Well first off, hi, welcome to the internet.
Next, there kinda was....a POINT to having the Wii Shop Channel. To get games that YES you did have on your NES, SNES, N64 etc... You act like they just threw it in there for nothing. It's to bring back the retro games, that maybe the new generation doesn't know about. And if you can find a Wal-Mart that sells NES games i'll give you $1200 (Take that Harrington!)
Online play is on it's way very soon. Think of it this way, would you rather have online play, but have it be really crappy? Or would you rather them take their time with it and make it decent hmm? Nintendo has alot more things going for them, like utilizing the motion sensing tech, and all the possibilitys with it, I don't see how online play is "the missing link"
