Posted March 26, 2007 I guess we'll know a lot more when there is actually an online Wii game in this country. Elebits (US) is online-enabled, as is Pokemon Battle Revolution (Jap). You could check those games out I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2007 Elebits uses the wii code, and imports your friends automaticly straight from the address book source Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2007 To be honest, there's no worse a time to ask than right now. We haven't got any online enabled games out in this territory yet, and as soon as one piece of news arrives, another source disapproves it, and then another source goes against that one. It's all very tedious for fans, I must admit. Best bet: Wait for the first load of online enabled games or for Nintendo to say something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2007 Nintendo should have had their netplay sorted ages ago, and had games confirmed that would utilise it. They went on about Wii + DS being major steps forward in online gaming, yet they don't yet have a system for meeting gamers and joining gamerooms? I'm so very disappointed. EDIT: Oh, and Friend Codes? That's practically the same process as connecting to a bloody IP address, something we had to do years ago to get PC multiplayer going.

Basically, the circumstances have changed since that issue went to press, meaning they think it didn't have frieodcodes but in actual fact it does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the friend code system, you CAN still play against other people. People who are not your friends. With Mario Kart DS, for example, you can race against others. Pretty sure you can do that with Metroid Prime Hunters, as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2007 The rumours (and note they are rumours) seem to say that the Wii online system is quite similar to the DS system, including that Friend Codes thing. Those are the rumours however, but since some of them originated from close to Nintendo, there'll probably be truth in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
