I really think sometimes that Nintendo is really scared of the internet.
I bought StarFox yesterday thinking it might have WIFi cause of the multiplayer videos i have been seeing, and i also wanted it in my collection just to have it. And the game is good and all but the multiplayer and how enhanced it was...it was good.....Fighting computers is fun....But yeah why no wifi?. Its not like im going to find another person with a 3ds and starfox and ask them for a battle....Whats the points of having the picture of the person when they are right infront of me. Instead of flipping them off threw the camera i would stand up an flip them off right before me.
I just have a few games on the 3ds/ds/wii that could have wifi but i feel that nintendo is honestly afraid of the internet.

I guess its because they're supposed to be a family friendly company. Since being able to communicate with strangers online can be unrated, they knock it all together.
I'm not defending them at all though. I very much dislike the lack of WiFi battles in Starfox 3D. It is the only reason I did not purchase the game in the first place.

Lol flipping people off is friendly trolling. Besides, couldnt they do like a system where they ask our ages, if we're age appropriate then we unlock the full features of said game....i knooooooow it ain't full proof plan. kids lie about thier age an all that, but shouldn't parents be morw involved? Why nintendo gotta burden themselves so much.
Worse news, i hear they may even scrap the wi-fi om Kid Icarus. And im 100 sure that game supposed to have it.

What do you expect when you buy from a company that hasn't done a violent game in how many years? They stopped making violent-ish games because they were afraid they would loose the attention of the family gamers (Ugh, I can't even type that without puking a little in my mouth... *shiver*), and thus they would only have hardcore gamers, such as we, to support their corporation. That calculates to about $3 Million, at the bare minimum, lost-- $30 Million, as an average estimate. In 5 years, they would lost $15-150 Million lost in five years. Now, I know my estimates are probably way off, but that's how Nintendo sees it. So, like everyone else does when they are threatened with money loss, they over-reacted.
I do agree that the camera is pointless at a close proximity, even across two rooms, but maybe they'll release some DLC that enables online play when they get DLC up-and-running.
I know Zelda has attacking stuff, but there's no blood, and it's against fictional creatures. Games like that, shouldn't be considered violent.
Semi-off topic: I'm surprised nobody has tried to sue Nintendo for Animal Cruelty in Pokemon. All of the Pokemon are based on real animals, so it would make sense if someone had... ("Oh no, those men are pitting birds against mice!" Pikachu VS. Pidgy.)

Seriously rather not think about it. I play halo online an the young are horrible.
Zelda has blood. Purple glops of goo. I dont think this has to do with money. if nintendo wanted to make a bad a** game where thier budget was big they would have....they just chicken s**t about failure .

Hope they dont scrap the icarus wifi.

I have nothing against families playing video games together, but when an entire market arises to profit off of it, and traditional gamers suffer because of it, I start to have a problem with it. I mean what was the last game by Nintendo that was meant for hardcore gamers, that didn't require a gimmick? My guess, Twilight Princess on Gamecube. I say the Gamecube version, because you didn't have to swing your arms like a maniac.

I was mad that they made Like right-handed just so they would appeal to a larger market. mad I don't think Nintendo is that squimish about publishing violent games. This is a company that allowed games like Mad World, No More Heroes (its sequal), and the Conduit to be put EXCLUSIVELY on the Wii. I just think the First Party Developers aren't interested in makeing a game that parents wouldn't buy for their kids. When I first bought Smash Bros. Melee, I covered the ESRB label with my hand, so my mom would buy it. While there are parents that let their kids play games like Halo (God bless them), there any a lot of parents that are over protective when it comes to video games.

I'm not the only person who disliked right-handed link. I played it until the first dungeon, and then gave up, and went back to the Gamecube version. I hate how they mirrored the world. Yes, there are parents who will buy they're kids violent video games, like Halo, or Gears of War, or Call of Duty. That's because they know that their children are smart enough to know that it's just a game. If they thought, "Oh, my God, this game has killing. What if my little Billy gets his hunting rifle and tries this on the neighbors?", they wouldn't buy it. (In that scenario, I don't even think they'd give him a hunting rifle... Whatever.) Point being, violent video games aren't really that dangerous to the minds of children. Here's a link to an episode of "Penn&Teller Bullshit: Violent Video Games" They discuss it in depth in this episode.
