I mean honestly, with Nintendo saying things like this, how can anyone say Nintendo is actually interested in doing decent online play...
Nintendo's position against online gaming is very, very clear. And very, very stupid.
Quote:Forbes.com: Why is it taking so long for Nintendo to make its online game-play system as strong as Sony's or Microsoft's? People want to play Wii Sports with friends and strangers across the world.From http://www.forbes.com/technology/2007/07...tendo.html via http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.p...arrison%22
George Harrison: People's ideas of playing online hinges on existing gamers. It means playing Halo in a massively multi-player way. The online experience doesn't have to be as narrow as that. If what you want is an aggressive game you can play online with your friends, maybe the Wii isn't the best fit for that. In our attitude there are a lot more people in our new expanded audience than there are traditional gamers. We think there's a social aspect in real life, in your living room for Wii sports. That said, we do have online games coming.
