question about online gameplay..

[novaa]

since i heard its "friend code" is comming online for the wii, i was thinking...does this mean the only way we can play games online is with their codes? and their wont be any open room games like all other multiplayer games?

 

[komio]

i dont think it has been confirmed just yet

I think its got friend codes but its not the same as DS, so I do think there will be big lobbies of people etc.

 

[komio]

one thing they did say was they were going to try and put on friend code for the Sysyem instead of each individual game, so that should help with trying to remember codes, and i also think that they ae going to do lobbies like metroid mentioned above

That would be kick ass hopefully they make it.

Should be easy to include voice, I mean XBoxlive does it right?

yea, but the only thing is, where would we connect the microphone at? maybe a connector that connects to the wiimote that allows you to plug in the microphone and the nunchuck?

My guess is one of the 2 USB ports.

 

[novaa]

ohh yea your right! i totally forgot about those haha

Couldnt they just connect it via bluetooth?

I'd say WiFi or Bluetooth Headsets are likely.

oh didnt know Wii had bluetooth

It doesn't, but if the headset came with a USB Bluetooth adaptor to connect with the headset, then it would!

It does have bluetooth. Thats how it communicates with the controllers. But I don't think it will be able to connect to anything but the controllers.
