Didn't SUPER make a thread for this reason exactly? To get back on topic...
ONLINE IS TEH RULEZ!!!
Seriously though if the Revolution isn't online, I'll be pissed. If you can wi-fi connect DSeseses (teehee I need sleep...), you could wi-fi revolutions with a linksys or whatever. I'm sure Nintendo's goal is getting everyone connected to some high speed service to ensure it is easy for all there consumers to connect. I think that is why Nitnendo seems to be stressing wireless so much as of late because population-dense Japan has various hot spots and probably the occasional wireless router- so it is much easier for the average joe, and non-bill paying kids to gain access to online gaming.
Accessibility is why the GCN's lan mode fails at life also its creation/ separation goes against Miyamoto-sama's wish that Nintendo products be an out of the box experience. Writing this I was questioning why Nintendo didn't just include the adapter in the design of the gamecube, chalking it up to conspiracies against online gaming, but it is that Nintendo is a business that gives people what they want. Do I want to hunt for an accessory that lets you play online? No, but what if they gave you a cube with built in broadband and you used a modem. Or worse yet the reverse. I know I'd be a touch miffed.
So a much better hypothesis (relative
) that I've come up with is that Nintendo releases their two online enabling accessories going against their 'out of the box gaming' ideal. This ain't gonna fly sez Nintendo. We've just made it a task to get online gaming, we've split those that want to game online into to two factions and the cube isn't meeting expectations sez Nintendo. According to the numbers, more people will have broadband next gen sez Nintendo demographilogists. Someone interjects 'even with one kind of connection, Xbox live! is losing money by cubed meters'. Let's wait til next gen to do anything sez Nintendo.
Oohhh, some fans are going to be pissed says Nintendo exec.
Hmm, we'll have to put a face out there so loveable that they'll have to understand sez Nintendo exec 2.
Only one man can do this, a co-conspirator for Kirby and SSB games... Iwata! Iwata for president sez nintendo exec 3.
Great! so what do we have in the meantime until next gen? sez nintendo exec.
Connectivity? sez nintendo exec 2.
We're going to need Miyamoto in on this too... sez Nintendo exec 1.
I am praying that nintendo's scrutiny for online gaming at home comes down to the fact that they can't feasibly implement it now (or couldn't then) while giving the options they wanted to give their fans. Iwata is the new president and in charge of boosting moral. You can come of stronger as a leader if you flat out deny scenarios that your own company has thought of before.
For example, just say a reporter asks Iwata, "Isn't there anything new you could do with online gaming?" If Iwata responds there is nothing significant that can be added with the feature for the expense, he is sticking to his guns and being the figure head that he is supposed to be. As much as I hate reading his mantra-like responses, what is the alternative?
"Isn't there anything new you could do with online gaming?" -
well we have a bunch of ideas, but we can't implement them, so.. sorry suckers, enjoy PSO and buy our next console for those.I do hope that Iwata's guns begin to rust before the launch of the Revolution and Nintendo begins to embrace at least the possibilities. The way Iwata continues on nobody will ever believe Nintendo titles will be on-enabled.
How much control does Nintendo of America, Europe, Australia (lol) have over Nintendo of Japan? Can they at least influence there decisions?
