Elebits.

Well, almost.

Elebits will hopefully let you share content with other users, get new maps from Konami and send pictures from the game to friends. Not really 'online gaming' but it's an important step because it means Nintendo's online system is working and soon we'll see games like Smash Bros that will (again, hopefully) use the net fully in-game.

Details can be found here

Well I said 'dated' not 'outdated'.

Smash Bros simply isn't worth going back to in my opinion and the new one will be too expensive for what will essentailly be just an update of an old title.

Difference is: Small Arms costs about 6 quid as opposed to about 30.

But the new Smash Bros will be online too and better programmed, more likely.

And as for outdated - what does that mean? Small Arms doesn't exactly look or play like a next Gen game itself. In fact, the first level reminded me of a Ninja Turtles arcade game.

Played it online against other people?

Super Smash Bros Melee

Well enjoy your offline play on dated titles then! I'd rather pay the 6 quid. :D

I really need to get SSBM back again.

Old Gamecube games I'm after:
Mario Sunshine
Zelda: WindWaker
Eternal Darkness
Pikmin (1 and 2)
Warioland 3

and I need them cheap!

I've played Small Arms - not impressed. Super Smash Bros Melee was much more fun, and if I'm getting the Wii for free this Christmas, and already have SSBM, then I save on 6 quid.

Exactly my thinking. Sounds a lot like I have a 360, now I'm trying to justifying not getting a Wii by placing emphasis on its shortcomings.

+ £200 pounds for a 360?

Seriously, stop trying to spread the hate ;)

Pokemon will be one of them, but I guess the one they'll push the most for actual online play will be Metroid and hopefully Smash Bros.

Nah it'll be a decent FPS game, aha...

Or instead of paying 180 quid (+ the price of Smash Bros) 360 owners can download Small Arms for around 6 quid.
