Wii/DS MMOs


Do you think Wii/DS MMOs are possible? Why or why not? Discuss.

I recently got in an argument about this, and it made me wonder what you guys thought.

I think it's possible with the DS. However, the Wii doesn't sound capable with the job.

Why DS and not Wii? The Wii seems like it would be more capable, if anything, because of its more robust hardware.

Depends on what you define as "MMO."

And I'm sure either could. They just wouldn't be very good.

I feel the DS is capable of more than the Wii. Motion control doesn't help a lot of situations. Touch control actually does.

Touch control and motion control have nothing to do with the system's ability to support an MMO.

Plus, motion control COULD be used in an MMO if it was designed to, so...

I doubt Nintendo designed motion control to be used in MMOs. Phantasy Star 0, on the DS, is about as far as Nintendo will go for an MMO.

Of course Nintendo didn't design motion controls for MMO's! Nintendo didn't design touch controls for MMO's either!

WHAT IS HAPPENING!!!

MMO didn't really catch in the console/handheld gaming. They support the PC more because,
1. better graphics
2. can be updated anytime
3. can add lots of new stuff without worring about space limits!

Indeed. But I think the biggest problem is that computers are just so much more capable when it comes to accessing the internet. Maybe something simple like Gunbound COULD be played on the Wii, but it would probably be laggy.

Imagine World of Warcraft on the Wii. Original target audience destroyed in just one week.

They did try to make MMOs before, remember Maple Story DS? It was cancelled. Same with Ragnarok.

The Wii is just as capable of accessing the Internet as the PCs. The problem would be maintaining the connection(Wi-fi is pretty flimsy, and Nintendo's servers suck)

Hmm. I think, if done very well, the Wii could handle some form of MMO. But the game would definitely need its own server(s).

What MMO doesn't have its own servers?
