Nintendo Online: The surprise before E3.

While the latest announcements coming from DICe would suggest that online gaming from
Nintendo would not see the light of the day, the first pre-e3 announcements would suggest
otherwise. Is it time yet for the revolution?

A simple but functional interface,

Caption 2.
This wireless headset from Logitech seems like an ergonimical gem. (hard to read)

- The biggest advantage to Nintendo Online is that games that have LAN capabilities
will be able to take advantage of the program.



->l'innovation Francaise part

Ubisoft doesn't look to be the only company releasing an online game for the cube. A french
company by the name of "Level of Detail" (www.lodsoft.com) is working on a 4
player online game known as "Light in the Darkness" in the same vein as FF:CC with real
time combat. Zelda Four Swords, take guard.


Get me a clearer copy and i'll translate it all.

so. is this for real? an elaborate hoax?

Please nintendo, no monthly fees. If I have to support a service with my wallet, I'm only gonna have room for one and that's non-debatable.

interesting so its bassicaly a logitech wireless head set

interesting

i do kinda think its a bit late to jump into the online gaming arena now for this gen but maybe if this is true itll set stuff up for next gen to have it right off the bat

I dig it. I wonder how the lan games will work though.

awhile back the head of Gamespy had said something about the lan software being provided by them and said something like youd just have to pick lan and theyd be online, maybe the upcoming software if this is true is like the Warp Tunnel stuff that tricks the Gamecube into thinking its connected to another GC when its connected to this service *shrug*

or maybe the software is allready in place and they planned this from the start (ie in the lan games like when its looking for another GC its also looking for this online or something i dont know)

*shrug*

[voltz]

They tie it in to a net connection just like PSO, the software will take it from there.

I must know more sounds like an April fools joke.
