Seriously, there are so many ways to protect those innocent gamers from dirty minded morons.
Nintendo makes amazing software, how is it even possible for them not to have something like Xbox-live when it comes to parental-control.

>_>...games like this could really benefit from awesome features -_-...
Maybe this is why Nintendo games( although this is square but its the same thing) are best when playing in the same room...because we never really had the chance to communicate trough a normal system.

Yes there is Wii-speak but don't expect developers to use that much.

Multitap | The impractical world of 4-player portables

Graham Russell: "Generally, when you’re looking to play a game with friends, it’s much easier to do it on a home console. With portables, each player usually needs a system, and most need a copy of the game (and maybe some funky cables, if you go back enough). Generally, people haven’t bothered to take advantage of the technology. Of course, if you’re a crazy person like me, that’s more of an incentive than a barrier."

What Heroes of Ruin can learn from FFCC:Echoes of Time

Gaming Gauge writes:"It’s not a secret that I’m a massive fan of Square Enix’s Crystal Chronicles series, and oddly enough it was the second DS entry, Echoes of Time, that really cemented the series as one of my favourites. This was because it took the addictive multiplayer action online and really concentrated on making the experience natural and easy. There unfortunately hasn’t been a new entry in that style since then(fingers crossed there’s a new one at E3) but I was very excited when I heard that Square Enix was working with n-space on a new online dungeon crawling, hacking and slashing adventure for the 3DS; finally something to satisfy my hunger! My thought immediately went to how Square Enix should concentrate on this ease of use again and what lessons they should take away from Echoes of Time."
