Here's a thing that nintendo really need to sort out majorly, it's online gaming, i don't know if it's a decision by nintendo to not have online gaming because they think it's not worth it or they just don't know how to use online gaming to it's potenial.
like it or not online gaming is here to stay no matter what, you'll always get a game like call of duty that basically is an online game, some of the people that i know don't even look at the story all they do all day long is play cod. sure i used to do that but that was when it was call of duty 4, still one of the best cods to this date. i'm getting off topic, there will always be online gaming around for many years to come.
If some of you never owned a Wii or have had one but never really used it as a gaming console but as a fitness console... something on those lines well you've probably not seen how bad the Wii's Friends application is. You just don't create a username for your nintendo account so you can show off to your online friends what your username is. The nintendo Wii has a idiotic way of creating your own nintendo friend code. I'm not quite sure of how many digits there are in a friends code but i'm pretty sure it's more than 8, if your friends have a wii and you want to add them to your friends list you've got to remember the 8 or more digit code, just so you can add them to your friends list.
I'm bringing up this subject because i watched the nintendo conference the other day and i wasn't really impressed at all of what nintendo had to offer at E3. first of all i've never heard of the pikmin franchise like i've never actully heard it but when it came onto the screen with it's lemmings 3D style of gameplay, it struck me that it would be amazing for online gaming and it would be great for your friends and family. Well it turns out that nintendo have decided not to include online gameplay because they said it wouldn't be fun enough because you'd get frustration across the internet. So nintendo have decided instead that they are going to add local 4 player co-op. Why nintendo why! if you're going to include 4 player co-op and state that the 4 player co-op is going to be fun why not have online as well so that the friends don't have to come over to the house to play the game, they can stay in their own homes and play it with you.
