"The Wii will be incorporating GameSpy's multiplayer technology such as friend rosters, matchmaking, and rankings. Pokemon Battle Revolution, releasing June 25, will be the first game to utilize the technology."

Awesome! I can't until June 25, hopefully I'll have money to buy it. And don't we need Pokemon Diamond DS to play?

If you don't have the DS games, there's no point in playing this game. It's really a shell of a game. There is a trailer on gametrailers.com about this, I suggest ya look at it.

They've been using it for the DS already, and the Wii's online components are the same.... which isn't great IMO. It's been said each game will have a different friend's list like in the DS games, and PBR forces another FC on you, it's not using your Wii's FC.

Nintendo never said that each game will have a different friend's list

This topic should be bumped and stickied.  Because this puts a lot of Wii owners fears away.

Great find TC.

For Nintendo this is good news since I very much liked Gamespy's online service for my PS2 while playing games such as Socom 2. Alot of people dislike Gamespy for having bare bones online capabilities such as weak friend lists and weird chat room settings, but I enjoyed everything about it as a whole. Still though, XBox Live has been schooling every other console in the online department and things will likely not change anytime soon.

Is wii online going to be like Xbox live, or will each game have an online button that is individual for each game.Â
