why does everyone complain about Wii's online???

It seems like everyone hates playing the wii online. Like they game for it sucks, the expierence sucks blah blah blah. Personally, they only thing really missing is voice chat. Some way to talk to fellow gamers would be nice. But other then that, not every game needs to be online. We dont need to have 20 FPS online. Yea, maybe a few more games for the Wii, but they are coming. Soon there will be racing and fighting to go with the other ones. I never have a problem getting into a game while playing Strikers, and it is one of the most fun games to play online.

Bwii is fun, but does lack some stuff, not nintendos fault. Medal of Honor is good, not as good as some of the other ones ive played, but hey, there is no lag and good controls, which wii mote is easier to use once you get used to it then any game pad. But how many of the same games do we need online. Is lego star wars really that much better, or do u really need to have someone else collect star bits for you?? It is Free and lag Free most of the time, how can you go wrong.

The only issue I have with the Wii's online is that not very many games support it, and sometimes lag is a problem.

Its by no means "bad" though, its about on par with Playstation 2 online.

Because Nintendo's attempts at online play have been sloppy,at best.

Wii isn't meant for online gaming and that's why Nintendo does not support it with a real network or require publishers to make their games playable online. It's the everyman (woman, child,etc.) system. For every one person that has it hooked up to an HDTV with a good surround system there are probably at least 10 people playing it on a 27 inch tube RCA. And yes, I also appreciate having a system that I can buy games for and just be a player and not have notifications popping up and endless fragging going on. Not that I'm against XBOX Live or PSN, I love them. It's just nice to take a break from the online scene once in a while.

Because they want Nintendo to copy Microsoft that's all. As for me, I don't care. I really don't believe on online gaming on consoles. I'll play on SSBB and Mario Kart online. Online gaming for me is on PC. chris3116

You mean you don't believe IN online gaming for consoles? That sounds weird. I think games without online are primitive. Always having to play against the same lame AI gets boring. All games should have some form of online by now. Nintendo is just behind everyone else, and they are always playing catchup.

The only thing I dont like is Friend Codes. Everything else is fine.

I think its fine for the time being. I mean a few more games, voice chat (in my dreams), and a friend list would be cool.

Right now some of the games are still pretty tight though. I think guitar hero 3 and super mario strikers are pretty good.

I also have medal of honor heroes. Thats fun and its cool to play online, but likes others have said once the thrill of realzing i'm playing an FPS online is over, it gets kinda repetative. And to tell you the truth is could use some major improving. It takes like 20 hits to kill a dude, and also its hard to tell when your hitting him or he dies. The gun and the light created when firing takes of most of the screen when looking down your sights. And the guys look plain retarded when they're walking around.

Yeah don't worry, in a few months when there are better games like mario kart and super smash bros, and hopefully some new features as well, people will stop complaining.

Playing catchup? Look at the sales charts and THEN say Nintendo is playing catchup...

i like the wii online, granted it is limited but its a work in progress. When headsets and such start to come out it will be sweet. I also like the fact that is free, that alone makes it good in my book.

honestly. it is limited.WolfWatch

yes it is.

friend codes ruins the experiance. i wouldnt mind friend codes as much if it was just add this single wii one, but every nintendo game has a diffrent code...GlassDominion

I just wished that your Wii Code was for all Wii games...

that's what they originally said.

are you stupid? No one could even figure out how to set up PS2's online mode...Wii is incredibly superior to it...these are why people hate the wii's online:

No ranks

No ladders

No achievments

NO VOICECHAT

I got a wii cause my PC is way better than any X-box or PS3 on the market...PC's could never accomplish what a wii could do. (oh yeah and I really want SSBB)

ssbb online is pretty primitive, like maybe 7 or 8 years in the past. no leaderboards, no voice chat, no custom games, no hosting games, NO NAME HAHAHAHA. seriously though its gonna feel like taking a time machine back to the dreamcast ages.

its basically just hit a button and get randomly parried with a few ppl whose names u cant see, and if u liked them u cant record them, and then never see them again, or maybe u will, u really wont be able to know.
