| Kresnik said: I chose "Interested, might be one eventually", but my actual opinion on it is "Interested, will buy one eventually". I am sure the first-party games will come, and I will be buying one when they do. The concept of the console is pretty cool, and although I have some reservations (30 minute moderated chat, lack of online multiplayer modes in their franchises (see Pikmin 3)), I can see these things being improved with time. So yes. Looking good, will get one day. |
I think you understood this part wrong. The chat is not moderated, the asynchronic message are. Have you played Demon's Souls? or maybe Dark Souls? In that game you can leave messages in the floor to warn other players about the perils ahead ("Beware of ambush", "next enemy weakness is spells", and so on), you can do the same in the Wii U, but the message will not be restricted to the options given by the game, so you can put literally anything, including bad words and big, HUGE spoilers. Those messages are going to be moderated by Nintendo employees so the experience is not ruined for other players.
I suposse chat (or video chat) will be restricted to friends to avoid other kind of problems like indecent behavior, but the basic online multiplayer will be available to all.
The asynchronous options will be pushed a lot in NSMBU, but you are right about the lack of online play in the launch titles. NintendoLand and NSMBU could benefit a lot from it, pikmin 3 not so sure.
