see what all the tech specs really mean when there tested, cos on paper they dont mean anything

/me drools over Perfect dark online that would be heaven!

Has everyone forgotten everything they knew in the past couple of months? whats all this 'Nintendo aren't doing anything' crap? It's well known that there is already a GameCube modem and Broadband connecter. As for not doing a network, Nintendo like to take the time to get things right, therefore I would expect there to be a network of some kind, even something like Dreamarena.

I don't think there'll be a fee.

Nintendo have left it up to the Games publishers/devellopers to run their own online server to handle online gaming.
That leaves it as hit and miss.

Although it obviously won't be so well organised and reliable as Xbox live, it's also free, and it means that Nintendo don't have to worry about spending millions on online plans so they can use their money for more important projects.

Indeed. It's only NINTENDO that have said they do not want to produce online. Think of all the other companies who could (PSO, etc).

It said internet capability. As far as I can tell, there are two slots on the bottom of the GC, for modems and what not. So it does have the capability. Games are being developed online for it, but not in the big way Microsoft are doing it.

Not at all.
Nintendo has always been THE platform for four player games.
Adding more players VIA online is just a way of explanding things further.

Well, they've never tried it. Perfect Dark Online would be fantastic, but as this is an X-Box forum I won't go into details.

Nintendo have always made games for everyone, and they recently said they'd like to keep it this way, and not just develop for people who play online.

Nintendo-online would suck anyway.

Nintendo games have always been an offline platform, i think nintendo should keep it that way.
