Gaming Mirror’s “David†likes the Wii, but he’s not too impressed with its online capabilities; this led to an article titled “Why Nintendo Has Failed the Online ‘Revolution’ (Again) with the Wii†in which he lists ten different reasons why.
“Channels,†“friend codes,†and the general lack of multiplayer support all come under fire, as does David in the comments section. He still stands by his main point, however: “what Nintendo has done with the online functionality is just a shame. A damn dirty shame.â€

When you compare the online capabilities of Wii to the Xbox, you can see it falls short in quite a few places. He did have a few good points, namely the fact that you could easily just read the news or get the weather from your computer, and how the Wii isn’t really doing anything too unique at this point either. That’s true, and it might stay that was until they really start to get serious.

From what I saw out of the E3 convention this year, the Wii has some awesome titles coming. The new Mario Kart is online, Medal of Honor coming soon will feature 32 players online. That’s a pretty big number. The you have Madden, Fifa and more. I’m already loving Mario Stikers so I think the judging of Online abilities is just a bit premature. We need to wait a few months and see what comes of it. Just MHO.
