"With next month's new format E3 (July 11th to July 13th) looming over us like a mysterious cloud, there's recently been rumblings of Nintendo unveiling an Xbox Live style downloads system for Wii. Given the popularity of the format and the Japanese company's ever growing desire to expand its media functions it seems that we may get the first glimpse of this at July's Expo."
The Animal Crossing franchise may lean towards casual gaming, but it has laid the foundation for a future title to have a survival mode.

I don't know about this. I don't think Nintendo can just jump in and beat Xbox Live. Xbox Live is well established, Nintendo I believe is the farthest behind on online play? I can't remember, haven't played the Wii in a while.
Not a smart thing to do with Wii's limited capabilites and MS's connections/relationships with big time companies.
Below: Yep Wii's fanbase is most likely Casual consumers that aren't Hardcore enough to buy upgrades for something thats not as capable as the other options.
Well if the demos were free maybe they can use some sort of streaming tech. If you bought a wii for the price then hopefully you don't get charged for viewing a demo as that kind of defeats the purppose in both the sense; a cheapy isn't going to want to be nicled and dimed to death, the point of a demo is to decide if you want to spend money on something.
DREAM on (to who ever would think this is remotely possible) Nintendo doesn't have the manpower nor the pocket book. They don't even have the resources to do xbox live locally, in Japan only.
Yea... Sony can try and get there with PSN but Nintendo has NO chance... I am sure they will have a nice download system but it will not have the fantastic built in features of LIVE.
no one company can take down the monster
