I'm glad it has sparked a bit of discussion. I just want an easier, hassle free way to play online with people. Would it be nice to have some of the features PSN/XBL has? Of course. The only Wii game I EVER played online was Brawl and that was a disaster. Lag was horrendous, and it just wasn't as fun as playing locally. I'd have LOVED to been able to play Brawl more, but it just drove me nuts.

Another thing I love are achievements/trophies. Nintendo needs to do things like that as well, gives game that extra replayability as well as bragging rights with friends. It's like filling the National Dex in Pokemon D/P/Plat. But EVERYONE can see you did it. *clap* I'm a dreamer I guess, but if Nintendo really wants my continued business, it's what I want. I consider myself a casual/core gamer. Not hardcore, but core enough that if I don't get the things I want, I simply will invest where I can get it. :(

your lack of knowlege affects your viewpoints(picking the only wii game with the most miserable online service and jugding the whole reality from it is lacking).Several wii games allows you to register friends and have seamless lagless gaming without FCs, namely EA games and so forth. Some include built Achievements and so forth.Having myself the PSN experience it doesnt makes a big difference to me.Since im having fun basically playing online with my friends online on the wii, which is the core element of online gaming(the rest is sparkle really), the amount of fun i get online is certainly more or the same i get with the PS3(and in the past, with the 360 live gold service i had). Nintendo doesnt needs to do much to be alright.Not to please you and they certainly wont care about you. But dont worry, they will get rid of the fcs and add some bells and whistles on the future, just to keep the process streamlined.

Even if some of that stuff is true, and I really don't care if it is or not, what's the point of it all without a universal system?  It may not matter to you, but it does to me, so "lack of knowledge" doesn't affect my OPINION at all.

They will have to please me, as they will have to please the other "core" gamers, otherwise the success they have found with the Wii simply won't translate next generation. :/
