That's the whole point of parental controls so the parent and control the content, not the company. Open it up like Live/PSN and let parents lock it down if necessary. However, the other problem is that Nintendo themselves don't invest wholeheartedly in their stuff. So many of their IPs come without online support and/or when they do its without WiiSpeak. Its really stupid. Any game with anytype of mutliplayer should have online w/ WiiSpeak. Fully locked/unlocked via parental controls. |
Honestly, the simplest and easiest way I can see them doing it is by DEFAULT setting all those restrictions on games, and forcing the parent/user to change from the default to whatever settings are available. This way a young child who needs their parents help to setup the Wii, will find it difficult to change the settings, and for the older gamer who WANTS those features they'll easily be able to change it.
I also agree. They don't necessarily HAVE to add some form of multiplayer to their own IPs, but some of them would be awesome, especially with a unified online service. Hoping anyways. :D
