CVG is saying that the latest Edge magazine prints that an inside source has told them that the Wii Animal Crossing game will be massivly multiplayer online.

Now, Nintendo's definition of MMO may be different than something like World of Warcraft. Having all your friends able to live or visit in a single town could technically be considered "massively multiplayer". I would be fine with an online version of the GameCube version's shared town. But a huge seamless world would be nice too  |

Huh...kinda weird timing since my brother told me "Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic III" was supposed to be an MMO.
I wonder if these are true? |

Well that's very awesome, I think. Has Nintendo ever made any Massively Multiplayer online games? ... I guess I don't mind it being MMORPG as long as it keeps the same ideas as the previous Animal Crossings and of course there should be many new ideas. |

No. Nintendo doesn't just follow the latest fads, they make games that are fun for everyone. MMORPGs and their monotonous "quests", point-and-click dice-rolls actions, and days of grinding to level-up does not sound like fun. Nintendo doesnt want to make a game that only caters to the hardcore.
Metroid Prime is a good example. Nintendo had never made a FPS until Metroid Prime because playing a FPS with a gamepad sucks hard for anyone whos not a hardcore gamer. MP got around that problem using lock-on and other innovative gameplay features. And now with the wii-remote we can finally have a real FPS from Nintendo.
My point is that Nintendo doesnt do anything unless it can be done right and its fun and accessable to everyone. Animal Crossing as a MMO would meet that criteria. A Zelda MMO would not. |

MMO is not the best way to go for most games. Kotor I and II were great and all, but I can't see those as an MMO, and Animal crossing more so.
I mean yeah, looking at it, it seems like a good idea, but think of how many online games are ruined just because they're ONLINE. Between hackers, and a horrible mutilated economy, most MMO games are destroyed within about a year. |

That means Nintendo can't be failures at life about it. |

Well at least it won't be a massive multiplayer grindfest.
And I must agree with rawrskey that people in online games tend to be very, veeeeery moronic ... |

I could pull up the comic explaining the law of online gaming, but I can't remember where it is, so here it is in typed format:
Normal person + Online anonymity(sp?) = Asshat.
To put it simple, most of the people are assholes online because they know nothing will happen to them in real life. |

It's not unknown. It's been known for a hell of a long time. Maplestory DS. |
