Great news, I'm waiting to play bwii online. I can't wait, but how will Nintendo sort out codes? They better include instant random play as well as meet rooms where you personally decide who can have your friend code. If you can't play at all without a friends code, no one will bother. Message boards and meetup rooms please Nintendo.

Who knew that the first online game for Wii would be a Mario game? It's fitting however.

That's sooner than expected! I was thinking Online would get pushed back into 08. Good job Ninty. Just don't screw up the online launch. I wonder when the US will get it.

Koen van Beeck said:

Booyah! Does that mean Europe will be the first? I had my doubts about getting Strikers, but after hearing -this-..!

DJames said:

Online in Europe means online in Italy! It's also the sport italians kick ass at, soccer.

Mr Wii said:

Ahh man. I live in the US.

I live in the middle east (Saudi Arabia). What about us Nintendo?

Elementrat said:

I don't think Nintendo considers Saudi Arabia a big Market so it's highly unlikely they will ever make an attempt to launch an online service that caters specifically to you guys. My guess is that if you want, you will be able to hop onto Europe's.

The thing is that I have an American wii system, because all the retailers over here import the US units. The same thing happens with the Xbox360 (that means our sales indirectly are included to the US market), the only system that we officially have is the Playstation, since the 1st. I'm 24 years old, and I owned all Nintendo's systems (except the VirtualBoy of course); NES, Super NES, GameBoy, GB-Color, GB-Advanced, N64, DS, DS-Lite and eventually the wii. This includes most people living here at my age. Not only that, even my Mom knows who's Mario :P We have reliable retailers who supply us for more than 20 years. And we could buy things on-line too. I read GamePro & EGM since the early 90s. I play on-line since the first Xbox. Sony knows that Saudi Arabia isn't that small market, and that's why they haven't forgotten about us, even with the PS3. We do have Microsoft Arabia though, but they suck! 'cause they're here only for softwares and programming.
