Pokemon Battle Revolution Wii's First Online Game
Online kits now in the hands of developers, too.

WiiConnect24 is a neat little experiment, but most gamers are just a bit more interested in head-to-head online play, something that could have been incredibly valuable in a game like Red Steel or Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz. The infrastructure simply wasn't there, but Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime says they're on the ball now.

During a D.I.C.E. interview conducted by The Mercury News, Fils-Aime revealed Pokemon Battle Revolution would be the first Wii title released with online play and online development kits are now starting to get into the hands of developers, so we should see more of that in 2007.


That means no more of that lame Wii-Code ish.

Wii are getting better i love this system's name. hey dizzy did you hear about that radio contest called "hold you wee for a wii"?

[DizzyDi]

Isn't that the one where the one lady died?
If so I feel REAL sorry for those kids. Their mother died so her kids could play a game. Thats a horrible way to go. I wouldn't even want to play the Wii after that, I'd associate it too much with my mom's death.

[VanHalen]

very true. i would hate myself for letting my mother go on that contest.

[BlueDagger]

She had kids!? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

In before "PBR USES FRIEND CODES WII ONLINE SUCKS LOLOL."


Fact of the matter is that PBR only uses Friend Codes because it interacts with the most recent Pokemon incarnation on the DS.


With that out of the way, now no one can complain.

Go for the Online Wii, but lets get real guys, it wasn't Nintendo fault, it was the Radio Station and the DJ idea fault.

But that show its already out of the air, and that people was fired, within a 24 hr notice.

[Schubalts]

So, uh...what about this radio thingy?

[EphekZ]

might just be me, but I really dont think it was the station's fault. I mean yeah, ultimatly, they killed her, but really though who ever heard of death by drinking water?

I don't even think she won the contest, Did she? I Live near the area where this all went down. (As In I can tune in that station close.) It is still quite big news here, and is talked about a lot.

See, Everyone I Talk to knew that could happen. I've assumed it was common knowledge up untill recently. So to a point, The DJ's should have known better. Especially since during the broadcast one said "Can't they get water poisoning and die?" Which was responded to with "We made them sign disclaimers". So to me, it sounds like they knew it was at least a possibility.

But to be honest? The Woman should have known as well. as I said, I thought it was pretty common to know that.

(And no, Don't think I'm saying anything negative about you about not knowing, as it may not be as well known as I believe it is.)

From this news segment that you gave us dizzy, I don't see what you are using to say that there will be no more friend codes.

On a side note, I am getting a job soon which will lead to a DS and a Wii hopefully. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
