"Nintendo has 1 Big Thing Missing..."

X-box and PS2 have online play, Gamecube needs it. Lan-mode could have been a way for Gamecube to have this. Mario Kart Double Dash would be quite fun online, and the new Starfox Armada game would be enjoyable.
So Gamecube needs online play; Nintendo could make more money. Being able to play DVD's would even help.

O... kay.

I have both.

I don't have mates round my place 24/7 but I don't play video games 24/7 either.

But it'll still be predicatable, playing against other players is fantastic. And I don't have mates around 24/7.

They could just put a more difficult computer level built into the games.

Not if Nintendo did it it wouldn't be.

An expensive way of training.

But online isn't actually that popular in console gaming.

From our standpoint online is great, but from the companies themselves it is risky and could lose vasts amount of money.

Online play would be a nice extra when you don't have mates around a good way of training.
