Agh, Nintendo is so stupid about this whole online thing. They don't see any profit in the actual online service itself so they completey dismiss it. What they fail to realize, however, is that many people will buy Gamecubes just to play Mario Kart, Golf, etc. online.
It's also a big issue with multiplatform games. For people with multiple consoles, which version of Madden or Ghost Recon are they going to buy? The offline-only Gamecube version or the online X-Box and PS2 ones?? And I really want to get the GC version of SC2 because of Link, but if the X-Box or PS2 versions have online modes while the GC does not, I'm gonna buy the online version.
