I don't need or want 360-esque online features on my Wii, however all games should use your Wii system code instead of individual friend codes for each game.

It does piss me off that NSMBWii doesn't support online because that's one game that certainly would have gotten a lot of online use.

Wii Speak is also horrid, a headset would be nice.

You dont like options? There is no good reason to not want a proper online experience like the 360 provides. Just because you have many options, doesn't mean you have to use them ya know.

Agreed on NSMBWii and the headset issue.

I know that wasn't directed at me, but I can agree with him, but for a different reason. I find the 360's online far from proper. It takes away any level of privacy you may have and it focus' too much as a subsitute of social gaming. Social gaming is much better as a local experience, and Online gaming should never be the medium for it. Not only that, but I would have to pay for tons of features I would care less for. What the wii needs is a unified friend code, a in game messaging system, and better voice chat. Other than that, I can care less about parties, avatars, and anything else. I'm playing video games, not going on my favorite social networking site.

 

*Btw, by Social Gaming I mean where you pretty much have full contact with the other person, and the focus is on playing with the other person opposed to playing the game multiplayer. I do realize that this could be used to describe all multiplayer experiences, but I find it more fitting to describe my definition.
