13.5 Million DS's Sold

[A Black Falcon]

SJ and GR: ... you don't play online games much do you... the only possible explanation for why you wouldn't think that major necessary features are missing from the current Nintendo Wifi system is if you don't know that they should be there... you know, like how before you get something you don't really know that you need it, but once you have it you find it hard to live without? Aiming for the lowest-common-denominator and pleasing people who don't know what to expect should not be Nintendo's goal... if they are serious about caring about both the new gamer AND the hardcore, a real online network system, as close to X360 Live as possible (ingame voice chat WHENEVER you're using the console -- single player, multiplayer, whatever... just look at your friends list and message anyone using their 360, just like IM on a PC, for instance... it also says what the other person is playing, I think, if you want.) is absolutely necessary. I'm excusing Nintendo a little bit because Mario Kart DS and Animal Crossing are their first two online games, but they better put in a real usable online network soon... I'm hoping Prime Hunters will have a much improved one. If not there, Revolution MUST have a decent online system. They do not have one right now. It's a start, but there's a long way to go...
