The standard has been set. If any videogame system wishes to survive, handheld or console, it must have online compatibility. Arguably one of the most important features of the current generation of videogames, online compatibility has transformed the way people think of “multi-player” games. Pioneered by modems and near-perfected by the internet, playing online has taken the videogame community by storm and isn’t looking back. With success coming from Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network one may think that Nintendo is right up with its competitors in the race for online connection – well, instead, it has the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection; a second-rate substitute for online gaming. While it may get the job done, the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection is light-years behind the competition in the online world.
