Wii online development kits go out.

Finally, Pokémon Battle Revolution is still being lined up as the system's first online title in the US, with Third Parties now receiving online development kits so that titles with online features will start to come in the very near future from all quarters. This will definitely be music to the ears of both gaming fans and developers such as Activision, Majesco and Square Enix, all of which have discussed Wii's online plans in recent months.

I hope they don't screw up pokemon online seeing as it is their first online console game and would be disasterous if it doesn't become perfect, it doesn't look too possible anyways considering it's a turn-based game with four attacks per pokemon. Fun but not technically impressive which kind of seems like Nintendo's reason for making it online first.

Smash Bros. HAS to have perfect online. While you really may not notice if the other fighter's actions are at 30 fps, it will be so addictive having a fleshed out online play with leaderboards, rankings, and tournaments.

Hypothetically, if a game got extremely popular, do you think Nintendo would update the OS to allow people to use traditional gamertags if the account being used is by an adult and for kids to be required to use friend's codes and no voice chat?

I'd imagine there would be passwords on the adult accounts on the system but this is Nintendo, they don't want Hillary Clinton up their ass.

Some interesting password possibilities on a wii.

Hold wii remote like a pen and do your signature or something...

that's probably not relaxed enough.

but if they did that idea that I said then I would be absolutely all right with Nintendo's goal for online.

I might buy Smash Brothers Brawl just to play it on my friends Wii. I think that would be a Smash hit, pun intended. Are we sure it's going to be online at all though? The developers have commented on how difficult it would be in making four player to work.

I'm also curious to know how Guitar Hero will work for the Wii. I'm getting it for the 360 for sure. Either way I think it would be kind of neat to have a multiplayer edition for those games as well. It wouldn't be as significant, but it could still work.

I think they can get online to work with wii. Its just when will they?
