C_Bear says:

Does anyone know if there will be any games on the Wii that will support multiplayer lanning?

I think it's possible, but I don't think there's a real push, because it isn't that popular.

Not many people realise that Mario Kart on Gamecube was 16 player support through LAN, but it was expensive because you need 4 Gamecubes, 4 Lan adapters, 4 Mario Kart games, and 16 controllers...

not a push for it ??

Do you realise how popular lanning is on the xbox.. and the wii is a party console.. so it should have it..

I thought they were gonna put out a USB lan adapter for the wii. (not the wifi one)

well if wii's have wifi, they should be able to invent some software or dongle that lets them lan wirelessly....
and let it so that if 1 person has the disc of a game, then they must be the host, and everyone else can play in that persons game

They do but it's only to connect to broadband.. i dont think you can use it to connect with other Wii consoles.

LAN is ideal. Wonder why I never even thought of it, but it seems stupid NOT to have LAN for wii, or any console that supports online features for that matter.

Yeh the only reason i thought of it, was because of Mario strikers. I want to be able to pay out my friends when i challenge them.

Lanning is one of the main reasons why Halo 2 was so popular and why i loved it so much, other than that the normal gameplay on it was rubbish.

Pyro says:

lol yeap halo 2 was a drag
wait, was that wat we were getting at?
lol joking good game that.
nintendo should take a leaf out of microsoft's booklet and lan up!
WE WANT LAN

LAN just kicks arse, no matter what game it is, or the type of people you're playing with.

yeh so much fun at parties too..

As cool as it would be i dont think they will ever make it happen. It would be rare for someone to have enough room to hook up 2 or more consoles and TV's. Not enough to produce a product or develope a game

Actually I do it all the time with my mates but I am not sure whether more than four people could fit in a room playing wii!!!!!

and about the controllers syncing to the wrong wii and stuff like that???

Also you dont develop a game especially for it you just make it possible for the game your doing that allows for co-op single player 4 play split screen and then lan

Also about hooking up and playing lan get two consoles and hook them up to the Internet in the same house and play strikers online but it will be against you buddy sitting right next to you!!!!!

Regarding the wii-mote syncing to the wrong console. Ive done 360 Lanning, and the controllers dont have a problem syncing.. just do them one at a time.

The Internet thing sounds like a good idea, just hope the bandwidth connection can handle 2 Wii's at the same time.
