Despite SSBB troubles, and whatever the haters may say the Wii has had many excellent and flawless online games.
However FPS's have recently been a sore spot because of hackers. The Conduit's great (when it didn't crash) multiplayer was ruined by hackers and so was CoD:WaW (can't speak for Reflex, never played it).
Now reports are already coming in about hackers messing up Goldeneye.

Recently Nintendo agreed to allow publishers to patch online games and CoD:BO and Conduit 2 will both be doing that to combat hackers but for whatever reason, Activision didn't seem to deem it necessary for Goldeneye despite multiplayer being it's main selling point. (Unless they announced that when I wasn't looking)
Has anyone seen evidence of hacking?
Personally, I've been going back and forth on whether to get Goldeneye or CoD:BO. Both had some great features I like. If Goldeneye's online is already compromised and there's no patching then it's lost value to me. That'd give CoD:Bo the nod instead. I'll still get Goldeneye for the single player and local split-screen but after the price drops, and probably after I get Conduit 2 as well. This is very disappointing to me, as I was excited for this game as it's more up my alley than CoD. Hopefully I'm wrong and it's patchable, otherwise this could really hurt sales.

I would suggest picking up one of the HD consoles for FPS gaming and the 360 to be more specific. Better online and better for shooters. With the dashboard upgrade this past Monday Jtaggers cannot get online therefore no more modded games.

Thanks, I have a 360 though. Hate dual analog for FPS. Also I refuse to pay for online because I simply won't use it enough to justify the added expense.
