Nintendo Going Online, Releasing New Games
GamesIndustry.biz has an article up about the Big N's future plans. Shigeru Miyamoto stated recently that Nintendo plans to be fully supporting online play within a few years, with the DS leading the way. From the article: "Miyamoto, credited as the design genius behind key Nintendo franchises including Zelda and Mario, told the magazine that online gaming will reach the mainstream within three to four years, and that Nintendo will be moving in that direction as a result." Gamespot also has details on upcoming Gamecube games, including another Mario, the next Legend of Zelda, Donkey Konga 3, Mario Baseball, and a new Kirby game.
This morning a Nintendo PR spokesperson officially announced their new stand on their previous "that online thing wont work, trust me!" philosophy.

I'm sure those games would (will?) sell well, but I hope Nintendo has something more exciting planned. I for one don't want another MMPOG "level treadmill" or have to deal with any more smack talking power gamers. I want I new drug that will make me want to string more Cat-5 to my entertainment center...
Spell cheek you've failed me four the last thyme!
Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat, and many other arcade games are playable (and played) online with Kaillera, I don't see why SSB:M would be an exception. And if it is reduced to button mashing, then it would attract the legions of Tekken fans. ;)
And I'll be the first one to report you to the FCC. Yes, I agree you're an asshole.
And don't forget the Power Glove, it's sooo bad.
