[QUOTE="FFXIsAstyanax"]Online gameplay doesn't save a game from having a horrible single-player mode (read Halo 2). While I hope a decent amount of the Wii's games have an online multiplayer feature, I hope even more that any addition of that feature does not come at the cost of the single-player experience.ColonelWilks

Umm, that's exactly what saved Halo 2. And if Nintendo doesnt see the need for online-enabled games later on, I'd say that their sales would suffer. Pretend that you're a random consumer. If you see a console that lets you play COD III in mediocre graphics for $250 and a console that lets you play COD III in hi-def and unlimited replayability due to online matches for $400, which one would you get? Not to mention that (in terms of multiplats) its not just COD III that looks better and has online, its everything.

Nintendo's sales have been suffering for two home console generations now and they are still head and shoulders more profitable than microsoft or sony game divisions.

and really, nintendo fans don't buy the systems for generic stuff like CoD3.  it was fun to plow thru in a weekend rental, but that's not the meat of the experience, and wouldn't be even if it was hi def, online, etc.

that said, most games that have a reason to be online, will be online, somewhat in 2007, and majorly in 2008 and on. 

star wars: shadows of the empire

Turok 3

Blast corps

aiden chronicles

majora's mask 

That's what Nitendo should do with Nintendo Power, it would make it a better magazine. With the price of games now, it would really be useful.

I wouldn't want to pay 9 dollars for an issue tho.. and really, i love the magazine

too bad it seems like its getting canned :\ 

The only thing that baffles me is how the missions will be made.Duckman5

yeah, the whole parallel setup of the second movie kinda would be funny to work with in a sandbox game..it'd be neat if they did something like, the better you do in vito's youth portion, the better off the family would be in micheal's parts

also, there's a lot of settings in part 2, so i guess there would be more missions like the horseplay one, where you go to a different place, outside the city

[QUOTE="merch"]reggie ff 3 for ds how do u explain that 5$ price up on it.merch

FF3 isn't the only DS game that costs $35... Those games usually range from $30-$35.

ff3 costs 40$

That's Square-Enix's doing, not Nintendo.

And Nintendo announced all first party Wii games will stay 50 dollars, before launch.
