    This Just In (kind of):

    Nintendo won't be on board with the online crowd in the foreseeable future.

    http://www.gamespot.com/news/wii-u-v...imited-6398563

    A huge number of people who play video games frequently play games online. The Wii obviously didn't hold a candle to the online functionality of the 360 or the PS3, and it looks like the Wii U still won't be up to snuff in this aspect.

    Why do I care, personally? I'm thoroughly confused about Nintendo's intended audience at this point. Some of the decisions for the Wii U and its projected library have been major advances toward the "hardcore" sector, while other announcements have counteracted the wants of that same group. Very strange.

    What do y'all think?

      I agree that it's a bit strange they're limiting voice chat functionality though. I guess they decided it was too expensive or something.

        my guess is voice chat limits family-friendliness to a certain extent. they can't control if someone starts swearing, etc.

        I find it hard to believe you can't plug a headset into the "pro" controller, or whatever it's called. everything just looks to me like Nintendo is taking half a step in every direction.

          I never really thought of voice chat as a function of online, no idea why xD that's pretty bad, though. I don't even think I'm gonna get Wii U though, sooooo.
