" I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo suddenly realized that maybe they should have a more LIVE like online system setup, one that is is connected to your nintendo.com account and has all 3rd parties working to use the same system."

I'd sure as hell be surprised if Nintendo would do something that nice.
Never. Going. To. Happen.
Nintendo + Online = Clueless.

"They also need to make a GBA and a DS Lite expansion pack that can contain a permanent Friend Code that has future compatibility with all Wi-Fi games. Even though it wouldn't work with released games, at least you wouldn't have to switch FC's with every single game you have. Honestly, it should be released w/ the DS browser."

Actually, so you know....
The DS does have a permanent code. It's just that Nintendo are too backwards to use it.
This is why I also believe Nintendo isn't going to use the Wii code for it's online games either.

I wish Both Sony and Nintendo would realize they should just copy XBOX Live as much as they legally can, and just live with that.
No friend codes nonsense.
No bare bones bullcrap.
Just a very integrated service, with actual communication options.


Sadly, I expect long delays for Wii online games, and I expect them to lack communication options, and I also expect them to use friend codes, and not the Wii code. Just you watch.

Uh.. it sure as hell wouldn't make a 50k-2MB game jump to 50MB just to add  leaderboards and online play. That's silly and unfounded.

Let's look at, oh, I don't KNOW.. sizes for some Nintendo DS games with online play.. and let's add, that these games have better graphics, and MUCH more content that the aforementioned possible oldschool games with added online play.

Animal Crossing Wild World: 21MB
Mario Kart DS: 18MB
Tetris DS: 7.07MB

The only one that approaches 50MB is Metroid Prime Hunters. 41MB, and if memory serves, this is loaded with textures, and I think has an FMV or something in it.

Let's.. say.. take a game like Ice Hockey.

It's probably less than 100k in size.
If you added online play and leader boards, at MOST, it'd jump to 1MB or 2MB in size.
