Okay Nintendo great stuff at E3, I and I bet others really feel once again rewarded to have waited for Nintendo to enter the next generation and by the looks of it spoil us rotten!
However as Sega have shown in their dying moments the way forward in originality and gaming goodness is by bringing gamers together through the internet (A LA Phantasy Star Online). But I wonder if Nintendo feel this way, any how this is what I am hoping for the future cube of genius.
Although Rare have shown to me that the best way to play 1st person shooters is with four mates in the same room, it would be nice to have internet options in the next Perfect Dark. But what would really be great is if more than one player on each console can join a net battle! The thought of a mate and I double teaming together a internet arena and laughing whilst in the same room would be magical. Some of the Perfect Dark arenas are 'Perfect' (excuse the pun) for internet mayhem and this is surely the next step.
Although Phantasy Star Online's gameplay was I feel poor (not a real RPG or Platformer!!) the though of perhaps a Zelda or Jet Force Gemini on the net both for battles (sword fighting and Bomb throwing WOW!!!) co-operative gameplay would also of course be great, Nintendo have already perfected the game play now it just needs to take the brave step forward.
Pokemon, I do admit to hating now would certainly benefit from a internet society. Imagine training centres, trading, downloading and most of all fighting. The greatest idea would be a Phantasy Star online environment and just like the cartoon you and other wannabe Pokemon masters travel and gang up or collect Pokemon against other internet players. The cartoon world could come to life and Nintendo could control the Team Rocket characters which you constantly foil plus tournaments for both pro's and new comers to enter. That would be cool!
As F-Zero X has proved graphics are unimportant to smooth play and massive amount of competitors. The thought though of 30 internet opponents on an online random track generator would be magnificent. On the one player mode you could perhaps earn race titles which mean you can challenge certain teams of racers on the internet. Again team co-operation (on one console) as well as being able to design racing mobiles would be great! Perhaps Nintendo are planning this for the GameCube Mario Kart hence no sign yet and Rare are left to make the first racer (DK racing).
Seeing as how Rare have named the Star Fox game as 'Star Fox Adventures' (plural) an online assault on Andross (Star Wars Yavin battle style) would be fantasic with both attack formations held by different players (wingers etc) using the Star fox flting team and you could choose whether to be the frogs, foxes, Falcons, rabbits etc.
If anyone else has some Internet Nintendo Ideas I would like to hear them. But most of all I hope Nintendo are reading this!!

The next step up from the N64's perfect Dark multiplayer would be the same again without all the slowdown :-D
Considering that both a 56k modem and a broadband modem will be available I imagine that Nintendo have some plans for online games.
Phantasy Star Online v2 will be available very early on in the GAMECUBES life too, so it can only grow there.
Nintendo themselves aren't too sure about whether they can profit from online games, but I believe that they are quite happy for other developers to take advantage of the GAMECUBEs capabilities.

It may be possible, but probably not planned, that the Phantasy Star technology could be used for Pokemon or Zelda GC. What do you think of that???
u know, Ninty's E3 really did fail to impress... from what I've heard they all did actually!
Ninty had the absense on Zelda AND Mario from the show. So their biggest hope was Metroid... which showed lots of frame rate glitches (It's not being made by ninty any more!). Luigi's mansion too failed to impress. All the game seeemed to involve was using the C analogue stick to move luigi, and using the main analogue to aim a hoover at ghosts... surely a kiddy game!
