Pachter: Nintendo needs a new console to get in on the multiplayer market

wiiIf you were to ask Michael Pachter what he thinks about Nintendo's current standing in the online capability race, he'd tell you that the company would have to push for a new console just so it could compete in the online market. Actually, you don't even have to ask Pachter; he'll tell it to you anyway.





 

"Are we ever going to see Nintendo create an online capability where people can play against one another, with one another, bringing your friends into games?" he mused on his Gametrailers.com show, Pach Attack. "I think you should look for Nintendo to develop online multiplayer first. I think you'll probably see a game not like Left 4 Dead in terms of content but like Left 4 Dead in terms of co-op gameplay. I think a co-op Mario game would be great where you have three or four players from locations."




 

But since the Wii's hardware capabilities offer much of a hindrance to this multiplayer wonderland, Pachter's solution is for them to have a new console. "You're probably going to need a little more storage in the box."

regret to bust his bubble. there are a large amount of games that do multiplayer over the web on the wii. one of them that alot of people to this day still find enjoyable is mariokart wii. lets not forget COD:WaW, MW, monster hunter tri, conduit, super smash bros brawl, pokemon, there are tons more even the Guitar hero games are multiplay over the web and are as well big. the biggest so far that i have seen personally are these 4 games mario kart wii, COD:WaW and MW, and monster hunter tri. so no nintendo doesn't really need a new system to be in the multiplayer market. as for co-op yes it would e nice to have a game to co-op in something other than GH, and monster hunter. a mario game maybe. star fox would be nice. heck even a good donky kong game (i bet the new game doesn't have any online multiplayer features)

it's not like the nintendo needs his advice, since it basically owns the market between the wii and the ds.

People still give a crap about what Pachter says? Ugh..

Why not just ask fans what they'd want to see it improved? It'd be much better.

they dont need to worrie much about storage but it does need more ram & i assume in order to use a gpu to its full potential it will have to have a bigger case to fit a bigger fan

also to add if they would have added the required protection we would have had dvd & hd games/content support. but like i said then they would have had to make the box bigger but i think if they pushed the chip to do more it would have made wii have a increased failure rate
