Topic: Whats with nintendo?

Why no new system updates or wii channels? Its been what 3-4 months since last update and god knows how long its been since a new channel has been released. I wish they would work on a online community, or are friend codes the best they can do.

Yeah friend codes are a pain in the ass I must admit. But it probably won't change.

There are quite a few channels we should already have, come to think of it and a few features here and there. They must be holding out on us for one reason or another.

Still waiting for that Internet Channel update that was rumored to death back in December - and by legit sources, too!

Yeah, the latest version of Flash Player doesn't even work.

There were some pictures of it with stuff like tabbed browsing. But since i've never heard or seen anything.

Do you think they are going to drop something big (doubt it though).

Japan has like 5 MORE channels than us.

I hate FC's. They could atleast give us one to use for everygame. Like Our Wii Console #.

Friend Codes protect kids. Nintendo is not big on online community. You build you own community by connecting wii's if you so desire.

As for me, I have no complaints.

yeah, they have that movie anime renting thing, im sad, what is wrong with nintendo of america? we need moree!!!

One thing about NOA - they restructured and a bunch of old hands quit. So that is probably why, the only person who does not really embarrass themselves consistently is that Denise lady.

Oh dear. Denise is such an embarrassment to NOA,it is not even laughable.

Friend Codes are a great concept, but it really, really, really ought to be just one friend code per system, not per game. It's extremely unwieldy and pointless. I hope friend codes remain on future systems for safety reasons, but I hope they're streamlined this way.

When it comes to FCs more games should be like MKWii and Conduit or the EA Sports games.

I too have been hoping for more Wii channels and some worthwhile non-game dsi apps (flipnote can't come soon enough). I hope NOA finds a way to bring Wii no Ma to the USA. I'd buy it just for the fun looking hub/interface.

I do think some new channels need to come down the pipe. The selection is a bit stale at this point. As far as friend codes go, I couldn't really care less. If I want online gaming I have a PC for that. Although, having said that, my tune may change when Madden 10 is released.

The whole argument that different friend codes for different games is to protect kids is flawed, why would it be ok to play someone in one game but not another? Do people turn from friendly and "kid safe" to a total a-hole depending on what game they are playing?

Personally, I think the Wii console number should be the only code anyone needs to share, and then there can be specific options somewhere to "disallow" anyone on your friends list from playing a certain game with you.

I don't know WHY someone would want to play Mario Kart with someone else, but not Smash Bros...but maybe there's an argument to be had, and if Nintendo really wants the possibility of shutting players out from some games but not others, just give us a checklist on the Wii menu that we can manage if need be.

Why has nobody else come up with a topic like this?? I have to agree and I need some new channels to add to my Wii arghh!!

Am I the only one that doesn't care about the extra Wii channels? Besides the Game and the Mii channels, they never see any action. I'd rather play a game on my gaming console, thank you very much.

About the online friend codes: yeah, they can be annoying, but I highly doubt Nintendo's going to change them this generation. I really wish they would. If anything, it'd make these forums a little easier to read without the giant friend code-packed signatures (though that is thankfully changing a little bit).

The internet is everywhere. Kids have probably seen all the bad words and stuff already, so there's no point in protecting them from the real world. Might as well let them deal with it.
