Topic: "Revolution" / Nintendo's different tact / technolust vs. innovation

Well I never actually tried Xbox Live (never owned an Xbox), but I certainly don't like the idea of the monthly fee to play.

I did buy a cheap PS2 recently specifically to see where online console gaming had gone since the Dreamcast... it still boils down to the same thing:

Playing against somebody online is like playing against somebody in person, only worse.

I think Nintendo gets that... whenever you hear them talking about online they're talking about successfully recreating the experience of playing against someone in person.

Its not a montly fee. Its a one time thing for a year or 3 months, and you get the comunicator and games you could play online.

I want chatrooms/setup rooms. I hate random assignments. I want to be able to pick my opponent through a friends list and a chat room or message board.
