The main reason i'm getting the Wii is because of the online feature?
But I'd also like to know which games can actually play online?

batallion wars 2 will also be online.

i'd say that wii sports will get an update and it would be one of the first online too.

it'll probably be Q1/Q2 next year. just play zelda up till then ^_^.

i heard somewhere that red steel maybe able to be upgraded.

however, how much "updates" can you the wii handle?

wii's harddrive is limited compared to ps3 and xbox. i am not a programmer, how much would a online update take up in terms of "size" for such games as red steel, or CoD3?

personally i dont think there will be updates for those games, ubisoft will just move on and create a new online game rather then go back. it makes sense commercially , simple.

far cry is set to be online. that is why it got post poned. other games may include, harvest moon

there are 3 online games for wii at the moment. Battalion wars, pokemon battle revolution and Super mario strikers. I dont see red steel being updated cos of various factors (cost, infrastructure, etc). I reckon thats something they'd save for the future. Far Cry is not online. Its available at launch!

Dont count on online games being that great. Generally ive found on line games to suck because of people who just hang out and ruin games for the fun of it. Anyone who plays internet checkers or other games should know what im talking about.

You end up with too many wankers who find it fun to get into a game then just stall you or cancell the game.

They then probably go and jerk off over how creative and active their lives are.

We will have to wait a while to see how they go about this and what potential it will have. Unfortunately, Microsoft has a big edge on Nintendo in the area and we will just have to wait and see what happens. It's all just speculation at this point.

Just the online play is very well implemented. Fairly trouble free and fun etc.
