Rock lobster!?

Lea- Hell, if I'd learned my dad had that kind of influence on the galaxy, I'd be cheering too.

Shin- Sort of like "eh-hoo," only there's a bit of "he" before the "oo."

You know what? I don't know.

So, the Nintendo Wifi site is up now. There's a surprisingly large number of rankings and stuff on the Mario Kart DS page. I wasn't expecting that- all I thought there would be was some information on how it works and a link to buy the dongle. If all of the Nintendo Wifi games have that kind of stat recording, I'll be happy.

I wonder what it would take to "beat" Xbox Live? Is it possible with a free service? Is voice chat really that crucial? Will Metroid Prime Hunters and Metroid Prime 3's online modes be enough to make it a valuable feature, or even a system seller?

I guess we'll find out in time.. At the moment I'm quite satisfied by the things that Nintendo Wifi stand for (and I'm very, very glad that they're screwing 56k users over).

There have been reports of lag, though. I can deal with it if it's just so someone else can enter your town in Animal Crossing, but if Luigi and his kart are randomly jumping back and forth on the track, that won't be so tolerable.

Not that I plan on getting Mario Kart DS. Racing games (kart games, even!) have never tickled my fancy so much.

I'm off to go play the Indigo Prophecy demo now.
