I know that none of the games will have online mulitplayer for a while, but will Opera, VC, Mii, the other channels, etc. be up and running immediately?
 
Yeah, since they're selling the points cards, classic controllers, etc. I'd have to imagine it will all be going from day one.
 
[quote name='rscaramelo']Speaking of online play, any word on Wii's Madden having online play?

RC[/quote]It doesn't. Most reviewers have complained about that the most. I believe it does have cooperative play though.
 
The most dissapointing to this whole "no online games Day 1" thing is it means there probably will be no VC multiplayer support.

Compact Software and that stuff will likely be online compatible.

Some companies including Nintendo said that they may revisit older titles and retool them a little to include new things like Online play. So it's not completely out of the picture.

I am dissapointed that there is no online play on day one, but I will definately be abusing the Virtual Console for a good chunk.

But they had to make it work with the 360.
 
Considering Fan-Made emulators can be programmed to allow classic games to be played online (vs. mode), I have no doubt that Nintendo *could* program something into the Wii emulator program that would automatically allow for online multiplayer in the older games.

However, I have low expectations of seeing that happen.
