Like Bill said, the best part of Mario Kart being online is that we can play against people we know, be that personally or through forums like this.

But considering this Nintendo's first real effort at an online game I think we can give them a little slack provided the game plays well and such.

that might annoy me,, but i dont have many friends to begin with [and even fewer DS owning friends] so i might keep my friends list limited and just enjoy random competition.,,, that is, when i get my DS back from nintendo and set up a wifi network.,, why cant the USB thing work for mac, damnit?

What?! Okay that is just f*cking lame.
Nintendo's refusal to go online with the Cube has clearly made them inexperienced with the conventions of the feature. They better get on the ball by the time the Rev comes out because it would look pretty silly for Nintendo to have dumb little sh!t in their online games while Sony and MS have streamlined online games thanks to their extra experience. I don't think it would make or break but dumb stupid sh!t piles up and that's what really hurt the Cube. Nintendo doing one thing poorly is minor but doing like 20 things poorly isn't. So Nintendo better learn fast on what works and what doesn't with online games. Might as well do as many things well as they can to leave room for stuff they can't fix (there's always some things that goof up that you can't do anything about).

HILARIOUS SARCASM aside, there are some disspointments, but really I'm very grateful that Mario Kart is online at all. I know there'll be some fun MSN nights where we all go on, and when you're with all your friends like that it doesn't really matter who you play, plus we can all talk in the chatroom anyway. When it's impromptu and we're not all together like that I'd feel a little alone, but i'm still playing someone I know across the globe, and that's pretty amazing.

Mario Kart isn't like a MMORPG or a RTS for heaven's sake, the races last a minute or two each. Plus it's a portable game, not a console. How can you expect things out of the DS that PCs took years to do? The DS will have the most advanced portable online system ever, and the most advanced for its level of power too. Plus this is the first DS game, I'm sure in two years there will be much more as they work with the technology.

Also I read somewhere that they only just decided to put MKDS online before E3 this year, so it's good for being a late addition and for their first mainstream online game, i'm 100% sure future Nintendo online games will be ironed out completely.

Same with the requirements in games like AC: WW where you can only play with people on your friends list, it makes it less likely that kids will end up playing with some pedophile.
Same with keeping the codes a secret, you don't want the codes to be public otherwise anyone can put you on their friends list.
If you want to contact a person so you can exchange info do it on the message boards via the PM service.

But, as people have said, WFC in MKDS was a last minute decision. They could have added all these features, but they would not have had the game for Xmas. Thats important considering GTA on PSP just came out...
Post by: Kairon on November 11, 2005, 10:21:01 AM
I fully support Nintendo in this decision.
Now I just wonder how the Rev online community will be handled and how much freedom those titles will have. I'm sure a Pokemon Online game for the REV would have plenty of privacy protections, but perhaps a game aimed at higher age users would be more open.

It probably is both an attempt to keep the E rating (semi)constant while playing online and to cut bandwidth requirements.

Where is the evidence to support that? I don't think any online gaming service would be immune from those type of responses from their base.

1)It is distracting and just more information that may cause Lag
2)It prevents cursing or any bad communication to happen among players.
3)It has become the most annoying thing about playing online games is listening to the ignorant banter.
4)I don't want to try to understand what people are trying to tell me through the DS microphones.

How does that say otherwise? I never said it was impossible, but dekals are a lot easier to track down and ban than whole conversations.
