par Deckard qc Lun 5 Fév - 12:27Je me demandais depuis le début ce qu'était le coté en ligne de la chose. Je viens de trouver réponses à mes interrogations.
The Wii Connect 24 service allows each console to stay online even when it isn't in use, unlike 360 which prompts users for updates or downloads when they boot up. This way its possible to download large files like demos or even DS games while you're away instead of plunking down on the couch only to watch a download progress bar. It also means that an online community is already more populated - the common example being that in animal crossing you can drop off something in a friend's town even if their not playing.
Games like the newly announced Dewey's adventure are advertising that they will utilize WiiConnect24. But according to producer Shingo Mukaitoge they are still not sure how it will be used but hopefully it's more than Elebit's screen shot sharing feature. At least it shows that developers are ready to embrace the online push even if they're not completely sure how its going to be implemented in their creations.
Most importantly, majority of Nintendo's online service should be free. The Wii appeals to non-gamers because of its accessibility. It's easy to see an older crowd signing on for a few rounds of Tiger Woods with their friends but the last thing this market wants to do is enter their credit card number into the console.
We've pitched an improbable interface and although it would be an original approach to browsing an online community it's the games that matter. Of course everyone wants Smash Bros. and Mario Kart. Those two games alone could sustain a subscription based online multiplayer service for years if Nintendo unwisely decided to charge for one. We asked out readers what they would like to see Nintendo do online and received a stack of good ideas. We also put together our own list of the most intriguing features.
Co-op
It took publishers and developers a long time to realize how badly gamers wanted to work cooperatively in games. There still aren't many titles that allow us to work together towards a common goal. This could be as simple as playing doubles tennis with your friend against online opponents or allowing Mario to be joined by Luigi from halfway across the world. A sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures is my choice for the first online co-op game from Nintendo. A Wii version of this game is the next logical step in the series and adding online play is a must.
