Will there be any online playable games at the launch of the Wii? And if so, which?

no. not at launch

 

[ZeroG]

I believe a pokemon game will be the first game online? I'm not really sure about the date of that though... I'll look it up



edit:

Pokemon Battle Revolution is the first online-multiplayer enabled game for the Wii.

Ahh, Dec06 for Japan... I'm guessing there's no other release dates scheduled for it yet then...

^That sucks. Anyone know the first "REAL" game to be online? Also, will the Retro games be playable online like most of XBox Live's Marketplace games?

Im certain smash bros is. But thats not out 'till 2007... Maybe they will start around xmas?

 

[komio]

they said that the pokemon game will be online, the ones for the ds come out in japan soon, and the one for the wii comes out within the launch window of the wii in japan, it should be interesting in all..

We won't be seeing online games until 2007, although we do know that SSBB, BWii, and the new Pokemon Colisseum game will be online when they come out.

We had a foreign exchange student from Japan stay at our house for a few weeks, she was nice. I was really little back then, so she offered me and my sister lots of Japanese candy and she even sent me a Pokemon doll (straight from Japan, a little while after she left). I also know this Japanese kid at my school who I chat with sometimes.

I gotta say, Japanese candy is refreshing, the quality is IMO much better, and the variety is way beyond what we are used to in America.
