The Nintendo Gamecube is fully capable of online gameplay. The reason Nintendo does not publish online games, according to them, is because they have not yet worked out a satisfactory business model for online games. Frankly, I agree with them here. I love online games, but I would never want to pay a monthly fee, in addition to what I already pay simply to get internet access, to be able to play online games. There are some online games for which the developers provide free servers (such as games played through Blizzard's battle.net), and I play these games, and greatly enjoy them. But I would never play X-Box Live. And I don't expect all companies to follow Blizzard's example and provide free servers.

By the way, Mario Kart was a poor choice of examples. While Mario Kart is not an online game, it can be played over a LAN, in which case eight people CAN play at the same time.

As I have
done before, I have bolded spelling
errors, underlined other errors (ie: capitalization), and italicized
things that I have corrected. Also,
I have made anything that has been corrected red.

"Online
gaming is overrated." Ok then, who here
would rather play Double Dash with 3 other normal">people (4 players) when you
could play with 7 others (8 players)? Anyone?
I have so much
more fun playing withnormal"> just one other person. If
online gaming didnâ€™t
matter, then no one would
really care for multi-player games because you
play with other people.
[The previous sentence makes no sense.
Iâ€™d have to enter your mindset to figure out what the heck you were
saying, which I most definitely would not] Can you
imagine playing Double Dash with 7
other people?
Nintendo doesnâ€™t
even advertise normal">the fact that that they have online capabilities.
Yet since theyâ€™re
the most normal">experienced company in
the gaming industry,
they should realize normal">that people want
online games and more mature rated games. Sega proved
that the market was
growing older when they made normal">the Sonic series. Genisis actually sold more
than the SNES because they realized the market is getting more mature. normal">[The previous sentence is jargon at its worst.
Present tense? Past tense?
Do you time travel or something?] normal">The consumers donâ€™t
want to play games
geared towards kids such as Kirby.

Now,
letâ€™s seeâ€¦ I would rather play a
good quality, single-player game than a piece of trash with online capabilities.
Yes, I can imagine playing
MK:DD with seven other people. Do I
have any interest in actually doing so? No.
Hey, look, you just said that Nintendo is the most experienced company in
the gaming industry. So why are you
bashing the company? The Sonic
series isnâ€™t any more mature than the Mario series. No
blood. No nudity.
No â€œmatureâ€ stuff. The
console doesnâ€™t have anything to do with the maturity of the games that come
out for it. Then why is Kirby still
in his own games if heâ€™s so unpopular?

EDIT: What I have deleted was rude, mean, and unncecessary. I'll admit it. Don't ask if you haven't read it.

I'd much rather play Double Dash with 3 or 4 others than 7 others.

Online gaming is severely overrated.

excatly. some multi-player games NEED to be online. like starcraft. starcraft is only a 1 player game unless online. i understand that is sux taht u have to pay for most online games. there is something called xbox connect which enables free online pay with out pay, but u dont get to download content and have a speaker. i mean, arent u upset that u cant play games like ssbm or mkdd or mp2 online? its kinda dissapointing that an xperinced company like nintendo doesnt really support onlline play when they have so many great multiplayer games.

"arent [sic] u [sic] upset that u [sic] cant [sic] play games like ssbm [sic] or mkdd [sic] or mp2 [sic] online?"
-No

"its [sic] kinda dissapointing [sic] that an xperinced [sic] company like nintendo [sic] doesnt [sic] really support onlline [sic] play when they have so many great multiplayer games."
-I think it's perfectly fine. If a multi-player game is good enough without online capabilities, then who cares? I certainly don't, but that's just my opinion and only my opinion, no one else's (because there seems to be misinterpretations when it comes to my opinions).

RTS games are practically only playable online in multiplayer. That's an entirely different type of game, for starters.
