Reggie says Wii online gaming possible by 2007 |
Ó
Good news, everyone, because Reggie Fils-Aime has just delivered two bits of good news in his latest interview with SpikeTV.Good news #1 would be that Wii gamers will finally be able to enjoy online games on their consoles by the second quarter of 2007. According to Reggie,
The multiplayer is coming. During the Japanese launch, there is Pokémon Battle Revolution, and that's really the first one. There will be titles that we'll be announcing in first quarter 2007, that'll be multiplayer-enabled. So during second quarter 2007, people will be able to have a multiplayer experience on Wii.
With the statement above, this pretty much indicates that there would be more titles in the future which will offer multiplayer support. At the moment, only Japan has a Wii game with such a feature, and that comes in the form of Pokemon Battle Revolution.
Good news #2 would be Reggie's little hint that they are currently working on more Wii Channels. He made no mention about what these channels specifically are, but either way, we're looking forward to it (and we're still pinning our hopes that these channels may be related to that little Christmas surprise that Nintendo has promised. But then again, maybe the Christmas surprise would actually be ears for Miis.).

Its gonna be the Opera broswer. I'm calling it now.
Possible by 2007? Should be right *****in now! Nintendo is going to kill the Wii just like the GameCube because it will never have online play. I see it now.
nintendo's *****ing killing me and shooting themselves in the foot for this no online bull*****
oh, just like how the DS didn't have any online components available at launch and the PSP was going to kick its ***?!?
I seem to remember when MarioKartDS was released it;1. was not only an awesome mariokart game it 2. was online enabled.
The Teej says you're WRONG. Their Online components aren't fully setup, so? Neither was the DSes. Look how THAT'S doing right now.
The Japanese are already online but we arent? I thought it was something technical but it looks like they are jsut waiting for something.
Not have online play ready in time for launch is understandable. They wanted to be part of the Christmas buying season and the Wii hardware and 3rd party games were ready. Getting the infrastructure ready to handle a few million people wanting to play online is going to be HUGE. Now with a nice influx of cash from the sales of all the units already sold they (hopefully) will do it right and we will have some great online play in the near future.
I'm willing to wait. No biggie.
i wonder if they'll make current games available to play online. i bought call of duty 3 and its fun, but once i finish the campaign...what can i do? if its official that they arent gonna add online, then i should probably sell it before it begins to depreciate. anyone have any clues?
i have read on one website that said in june2007 ubisoft is going to offer a update that you have to pay for that makes red steel online
