indeed. But there is hope.  I want to start off with some
rhetorical (and not at all bitter) questions for Nintendo.
Where are the new, must-play online games from Nintendo on DS?
If NST could do voice chat, lobbies, and rivals in Metroid Prime
Hunters a year ago, why isn't it in any other games from
Nintendo?  If Nintendo WFC has been up and running for a year
and a half, why aren't first-party Wii games like Excite Truck
and Mario Party 8 online?
