For everybody that has wiiconnect24 and wii friends registered, Its more like an email when you send messages, which kind of sucks, honestly, i figured i would be more of a chat type thing, and no i just decided to post this now out of boredom i found out it takes 10 minutes to send a message to another wii a long time ago. They should have like MSN for the wii with all wii registered friends, then, when i'm playing MSC or another online game on wii, i dont have to wait a half hour for my friend to go online or confirm meeting times and stuff like that (nintendo's to safe on the friend code thing and friends and rivals, they should take a little more after the XBOX360).
i agree, iv always said that nintendo is taking baby steps into a market that they need to be jumping head first into because they are so far behind. Its funny that i have to run either my PC with Ventrillo or my 360 to use voice chat to play strikers or any of the soon to be release online games. It works but i feel that my internet safety was up to my parents when i was that age and it still should be up to parents today. i dont need nintendo protecting me and full out online capabilities are a must if they wish to survive.
