Nintendo says they have a surprise for us who connect online.

heres the article http://wii.ign.com/articles/103/1035826p1.html

its probably gonna be something really crappy though like a new my little pony game

A revitalized franchise hopefully.

I doubt it will be My Little Pony but I will look:P

Firmware 4.3 update HD upgrade confirmed!!!!

I bet it's something corny, or Miyamoto on the show or something.... We basically have to just keep watching the Nintendo Channel for the surprise right?

it better be worth it...

Okay... but I do like the new Nintendo Updates alot

Pikmin 3 Trailer? A man can dream... :(luigi9863

Maybe a Pikmin 3 preview channel! :o

It will probably be nothing special though.

Unfortunatly your right but maybe the previously mentioned Pikmin 3

YESSSS!!!! It's the end of friend codes!!!!!

And game makers are going to be free to use their own servers!!! Anything less would be a disappointment.

EDIT: Forcing the use of the latest firmware in order to play online games (to reduce hackers) would be acceptable as well.

I think it's a little too soon for that. Trailers for that are typically saved for someplace like E3, so I wouldn't expect one until E3 next year at the earliest.

Most likely. After all, Nintendo's not exactly known for doing something big when it comes to online related matters.

They are going to announce Wii Music Plus, lol.

their was a rumor of a zelda trailer on october 23rd. hopefully its true

Slim chance, but that would be awesome. The Internets would implode, Gamespot would start reviewing Wii games, and Pachter would finally get a job that suits his intellectual abilities, hopefully, something that involves asking people "Would you like fries with that?"

And game makers are going to be free to use their own servers!!! Anything less would be a disappointment.

Wait a minute...you've never heard of EA Nation?

3rd Parties are mor than welcome to use their own servers...they're just too cheap to actually do it. So far, EA's the only one who's bothered.

I doubt it's a game reveal. I have a feeling it may be a new channel or a much anticipated Virtual Console game.

EA is one of the few companies that has enough clout to use their own servers (they aren't forced to use friend codes either, at least not for certain games). Developers have said Nintendo required them to use Nintendo's servers for online play, and in fact, third parties couldn't even include online play in their games for the first year or so after launch.

You are quite the optimist aren't you:Pgamefan67

More of a realist, but sure, why not?

Nah. I only do that with things that make sense. Obviously, Nintendo isn't going to do anything special for the rare people who have their Wii's online and go online regularily. It'd be a waste of their time.

The furthest I'd go is that they'd make Nintendo Week a half hour instead of 10 minutes. I honestly would be more than happy with that.

If anyone expects any more, they're just kidding themselves.

I am really wondering what it will be :question:

Maybe a trailer for something, new channel... I really dont know.

I hope she's talkin' 'bout everyone who has connected to the Internet on Wii over the past couple years, instead of just a select amount of people who connect in a certain timeframe soon. That'd be an unwelcome surprise.:P

They hinted about the club nintendo zelda posters in that segment on ign so it could be something kind of cool

Whoa, I was just browsing the Nintendo Channel, and I saw a vid that had "Special Update" in the title. I went on that vid and wanted to see what it was, and it was an announcement that Nintendo would be releasin' a bunch of DLC for Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers OF The Sky or somethin' like that.

I don't think that's the update Denise was talkin' 'bout, but if it was, I'm gonna' be kinda' disappointed.:P

The article says it's a small surprise...could that be online demos?

That's what I want.

Yah, I'd really appreciate it if Nintendo started some type of online demo service, especially for VC and WiiWare games. I hate to buy WiiWare games only to really hate them in the first five minutes of gameplay. Maybe I should do more research for those games.:P

Kinda hard to, given that info for those titles is rather scarce, aside from the occasional video or two.

Hmm..

Maybe Nintendo will think we have anmesia and announce the free NES game to the people who purchased the Internet Channel.

Not that I don't want them to announce anything awesome.. its just I have really low expectations for what they do online.

Any baby borne of such greatness would surely turn out to be the anti-christ.
