| Can't compete with live
Good idea for the portable DS users, but it can't come close to competing with Xbox live. But for those sheltered kids who only get to use nintendo stuff, I doubt they will get it because of parents being anti-internet. Unfortunately for Nintendo, like 80% of their customers are these sheltered kids who have never played an FPS game in their lives. |

Re: Can't compete with live
Even if it wasn't designed to, it will make a great competitor. Free online play for first-party titles assures that. A Super Smash Brothers title with free online play at launch is pratically a killer app. |

I agree. It's great to see something like this. |

is just not that appealing to me - and I suspect it's not appealing to many online gamers. One gaming site said Kart was adequately laggy. Since this is a free service, I just don't see them having a solid uptime either. If I want to sit around and have long game sessions with friends, then a 60" HD screen, Xbox360, comfy couch, and a supply of frosty cold beverages is more appealing than this. This is more of a gimicky item - especially with no voice communication for my friends or foes. Too bad Nintendo abandonned their online service for Gamecube in favor of focusing on this. |

Have you ever heard of the most revolutionary FPS of all time on a console - Goldeneye for Nintendo 64? |

Re: Handheld online
Let's see here. $6000 TV + $400 XBox360 + $10 beverages + $10 for Xbox Live = $6,420. Or $130 Nintendo DS + Free WiFi + water fountain = $130. I wonder which option will be more popular... |

Re: How can Tony Hawk and Mario Kart be up ?
I noticed that also. Mario Kart isn't due out till 11/16. Either this is employees's kids with advance copies or something is fishy.
Regrading the service, I think it is kind of cool. My 9 year old has been going to nintendowifi.com almost everyday so he will most likely be happy when he sees it is up and running. I just hope some of the DS games he has at home are wifi compatible by full launch. Right now it looks like they only have 2 on site. |

Depends on the game. DDR most certainly does not make you fat.

They gave out copies of Mario Kart DS at least at some press thing they had. |
