So if you haven't heard, which you may have not: gametrash.com/n/231.htmlThat's right. I kid you not, this is not a joke, this is Nintendo.

They did that with the GameCube. The codename was dolphin which I thought was a pretty interesting name. Revolution was a good name and described what they were trying to do. This new name Wii "We" is played out. Does the revolution, excuse me Wii, even support online multiplayer?
Meh. It will stir up press and get everyone talking about it. In a few months the initial WTF will pass.

the big N is convinced that people dont want online console games, so while it will have a network interface and Nintendo wont stop anyone from putting online content into a game, they will not directly suppport or promote it either.

The Wii supports online using WiFi as opposed to using an ethernet cable like the Xbox or the PS2

I remember Nintendo stating that Super Smash Brothers will be available at launch and it will be online. I think that's how they felt for gamecube but they are changing that with Wii (lol)

Smash Bros online would be cool.... downloading NES and SNES games will also be cool (and probably the reason I will get one)

That's right they do intent to have online enabled games. I don't know if they have said thing about an online structure similar to Live. I think it is going to be more of the setup the Playstation had this generation.

As far as I know of, it's not similar to Live.
More similar to the DS, and if the DS is similar to Live (I don't own one, though I highly doubt it is cause it's a handheld) then so be it.
