Well for one thing, even after adding a friend to my friend's list, very often the "invite" feature fails. So, stability. Secondly, the matchmaking is rather convoluted, and there's no automatic matchmaking, ladders, or "approved maps" from which to do automatic matchmaking. Nintendo actually is a bit ahead of the game in that sense I suppose.
GR, it bears repeating.
Anyway, I'm basically saying I am of the same opinion as Penny Arcade when it comes to online service. Live is a buffet. Others struggle to catch up. Nintendo's online service doesn't actually exist, at least on the Wii, until an online game actually comes out.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
