I don't understand why everyone wants online games? I hate them. What are you going to do in a few years when all the servers are down and you can't play it anymore? Paying $50 for a game and then paying $10 a month to make any use of it? That is just rear.
I had a PS2, I had an Xbox, I have a Gamecube and love the LAN much better then the proprietary online games (not to mention the games are actually Fun! Astonishing, I know).
I for one hope Nintendo does not jump on this band wagon of minting money and robbing kids and parents of a simple good fun game.
Hell, just give me back my SNES, NES, N64, and original Gameboy. Then I'll be happy. Oh, and don't forget my Saturday Morning Captain N and weekday afternoon Super Mario Bros Super Show.
