Wii's Best Online Games

February 05, 2011 in Top List comments 5

It has become common knowledge at this point that Nintendo's online infrastructure for the Wii is fairly primitive. Few games support voice chat, Friend Codes are required for games to run on Nintendo's servers, and in the case of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, sometimes the games with the most online potential don't even work. Despite the obvious shortcomings of the Wii's online, there have been some online enabled games that excel even with Nintendo's handcuffs.

    Wii and good online shouldn't really be in the same sentence.

    Two words: Friend codes ; ;

    I think that's kinda the point of this article. That these games managed to have a good online mode despite the limitations.

    Wow I never knew Black Ops was online for the Wii also? lol.

    Mario Kart is probably the only decent one really.

      While I haven't played any of the other games mentioned in the article. Mario Kart Wii did have pretty nice online when I use to play it.

    Call of Duty, GoldenEye and Monster Hunter all skip the friend code system and have pretty solid online play. Especially Monster Hunter with its servers supporting thousands of players with little to no latency.
