Nintendo online?

[img]"http://gameqube.nl/files_backup/Nintendo_Online.jpg"[/img] Nintendo doet het nog het rustigst aan van de drie wat betreft online gamen. Xbox Live is inmiddels al op volle gang, maar ook Nintendo geeft wat info... Nintendo Power had onlangs een interessant interview met Nintendo. Er zitten goede berichten tussen, maar het grootste deel van jullie zal teleurgesteld zijn. Nintendo Power: Will Mario Kart be online? Satoru Iwata: Sadly, we haven't been able to give the Internet connection to it, but what I know is that Mario Kart will be able to be played in LAN with other GameCubes connected. The beta tests of an Internet Compatible Mario Kart have not been good. NP: Will there be another LAN games as you mentioned? S. I.: Of course! For now we have other games in test. Remember the development of Mario Kart for GameCube started a while ago and the ability to connect through has just been implemented. These games will have Internet capability, because they are being designed for that. NP: Do you have the name of these games? S.I.: I can't give that information, but I can say they will be showed at World smash. NP: How will the configuration for LAN games be? S.I.: We have been testing with traditional systems, like having a Nintendo GameCube as server, but this one has overloaded too much to have a stable playability. Maybe, as minimum requeriment to play in LAN, is having an extra GameCube, in order to work as dedicated server, while the others connect to this one through an Ethernet Hub. Obviously, each GameCube will need its own Broadband Adapter. Zoals je kan lezen zal Mario Kart waarschijnlijk niet online gaan. En dit komt dan ook hard aan. Wel kan je met een andere GameCube linken, waardoor je alsnog met 4+ gamers kan Karten. Wij zijn zeer benieuwd naar de LAN optie in Mario Kart, maar toch is het wel even slikken dat MK niet online gaat.
