Alright reggie, time to go back to the loony bin and go nigh,nigh... he seriously needs to be taken off PR :|darkspineslayer

Why? What did he say that was so crazy? He wants to bring the Nintendo online experience to equal or better levels than LIVE. It's a great compliment to LIVE and it shows he is progressive enough to realize LIVE is something good to strive for. Would you rather he shrug his shoulders and ignore it?

It's good news for Nintendo fans

Was he comparing XBLA to Virtual console, or NWFC to XBL?

Well that's nice that they want to be better than XBL, but how on earth do they plan on pulling that off? They would somehow need to catch up with years of experience and infrastructure.

[QUOTE="njean777"]

[QUOTE="-DrRobotnik-"]Sony cant even better XBL and they seem to take online seriously. Nintendo on the other hand....wowSynthetic_NinJI

sony does beat xbox live IMO its free and works perfectly. when they implement voice chat xbox live better become free because what are you really paying for then? Leaderboards? hah psn has those to.

- psn -

Themes-free

gaming-free

dlc-check (not as much as live but enough for the exclusive games)

dedicated servers- on most 1st party games not third party

more player count- check

-xbox live-

gaming- pay please

party chat- pay please

dlc- they beat psn on this one

themes- pay please

gamer pics- pay please

p2p on most games i think only L4D has dedicated servers

less players- check

How does "pay please" translate it into better :|

i dont get your question?

[QUOTE="Zhengi"]:lol: Ok Reggie. Prove to us first that you can at least have competent online first before you even try to compare to XBL :lol:carljohnson3456
It was just a throw away answer, obviously they dont think about it at all ya know? And he could have said the same thing about the PSN as well... but instead said Sony has some challenges. :lol: This is the same man who said the hardcore gamer was insatiable just last year.

thats because the hardcore gamer is insatiable

1. Nintendo fixes storage problem, gives voice chat after not believing in it, gives us the most well rated 1st party games in Wii's lifespan than other nintendo consoles

2. imroves WFC over time leadingg to kart being a smooth and killer online title

3. pushes for exclusive 3rd party games like MH3, FFIV, DQ10, and promotes madworld, conduit next to their own titles like Wario Land and Animal Crossing

4. Improves on all the faults of the DS with the DSi

5. most of all, nintendo tries to introduce new exciting ways to play games, Stylus, Rumble, Analog, Motion, Wii Motion Plus, Wii Balance Board, DSi Camera. Whether you like how those worked out or not, or whether they are original or not, they're still trying really hard to do something new and different

i think he's asking himself what could they do thats better than XBL, not saying in anyway that Nintendo atually does do something better than XBL

i mean really, Nintendo has done a lot this gen with Wii and DS to satisfy core gamers, sure they've missed it sometimes, to me i'm happy i can understand why not everyone is though, but they are trying. (heck they are even rolling out video services for Wii and DSi, not something i need but some "core" gamers sure complain about it for some reason)

I believe Ratchet was speaking more of downloadable content for retail games. Like how CoD4 has map packs and what not. Nintendo does have DLC. (Well Guitar Hero does).

...Just switch "PS3" in the statement with "Wii," and you'd have a much,much,much more valid statement in this case.Then again,it would still seem too nice.

Giving users actual names instead of credit card numbers for games is a good start.

PS3's online isn't that bad at all, and Wii's is hardly anything to brag about. No unified service means there's no way you'll ever be like XBL. I'd love to have a Gamertag, use a Mii to be my online avatar or profile, have a friend's list that allows me to view who is online and what they are playing, and lastly... just a service that's more pushed and doesn't require separate 16 digits to befriend a person. :|

Absolutely everything that Nintendo's online does the Xbox and Playstation do at least 10x better.

They need to ditch friend codes. That's the lamest thing. And then they actually need to include features.....

Here is a realistic goal nintendo. Try and be better than the early attempts at console online in the 90s. Wich was pretty much the equivilent of a dail-up modem in a catridge, at least they had matchmaking services.

LOL. I like to see them try. They will never match, nor will it ever be better than X-Box Live.

Even PSN is better than their online service.

Listen, I like that line of thinking Nintendo...you guys need to be striving to be better than X-Box Live. However, at the moment, you are no where near that level. :P Ditch the friend codes, gives us user names and friend lists, and allow for play against random players...then we'll talk about getting better than X-Box Live.

LOL. The PS3 may not be selling as well as the Wii, but at least the PS3 has got real games.

[QUOTE="Ratchet_Fan8"]some lame hand-heldCherokee_Jack
Nintendo has another handheld out besides the DS? Why haven't I heard of this?

They have the DSi which is also a lame handheld, it's a joke compared to PSP. They added a 0.3 mp camera which can't record video, PSP's is 1.3 and came out 2 years ago. They added 12 MB of RAM (bringing it to a total of 16 MB). PSP had 36 MB 3 years ago, has 68 MB now (4 of which is VRAM). They added a music player, which can't play MP3s and the photo viewer program rejects any photo not taken by the DSi itself. Due to using cartridges, developers can't afford to waste space by including firmware updates, so there will be DSi games that require you to connect your DSi to a PC/internet to update it before you can play the game. They removed the GBA slot, removing the ability to play some DS games. Added territorial lockout, and used a smaller/weaker battery. And added yet another charge port, instead of using USB which would have made the SD slot more useful as well.

What's even worse is almost everything they add to the DSi could have been added to the existing DSs via a flash cart. The web browser they sold added RAM to the DS. They've added cameras before. They could have simply put the new firmware on a cart with extra RAM, a reversible camera, and an SD slot.

I can't take anything he says seriously any more.

Especially when he talks about competing with the xbox. Until they ditch friend codes, they are obviously not trying in online.

:lol: Ok Reggie... it's completely obvious they are not even LOOKING at the XBox or PS3 in any sort of way so it's funny to see him act like he actually focuses on the two.

Link, sorry if old, didnt see it on the first two pages.

carljohnson3456
I've always assumed that when you see stuff in brackets, it's something that the person didn't technically say, but like it refers to something that wasn't quoted earlier and is thrown in for clarity. LOL, that's a hell of a reference point for the writer to throw in and seems to be flame bait to get more website traffic. LOL, either way though. One major overhaul that the Wii should consider is creating an "organizer" overall for friend codes. In 2009, yes people still have phone numbers and people still dial them all the time, but modern tech allows you to attach a name to that phone number so that you never ever actually have to see the number once it's been linked. You just goto the name and hit the call button. Nintendo needs something like this (assuming that it isn't already like this).

here comes captain obhious *struts* nintendo is going to have to do alot better than there doing now if they want to take the xbox on in online play. the wiis OS woudl need a very significant overhaul to integrate friend presence and all that stuff. *flys off* personally id be happy if every wii game with an online system just did what mario kart did and added voice chat. for a free service..thats fine imho. personally i havent had any problems with connecting or lag on the few occasions that i have used the service. just speculating here...but maybe hes not talking about the wii. maybe nintendo have more ambitous plans for the online system in the Wii2. with all the money there making + there bigger userbase, they will be able to attack MS from a place of strength. they will also have a much better sense about what online is all about. there already bringing out a video on demand service for the wii...but i reckon this is only going to be a testbed for a more enhanced version in the wii2. just speculating though.
