LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Nintendo Co. Ltd.'s Wii video game console was the surprise hit of the holiday season, but fans are wondering when it will match rivals Microsoft and Sony by offering a way to compete in cyberspace.
The Wii is online-ready right out of the box, thanks to its built-in WiFi. Its Virtual Console, which allows users to download classic Nintendo games from the Web, has been a stunning success with more than 1.5 million games downloaded by the end of the holidays, according to the company.
But competitive online play is not among the many features available to Wii gamers, even though more than 50 percent of Wii consoles in the United States are connected online.
Nintendo has announced the SNES and Super Famicom games gracing the Nintendo Switch Online library this month, and there are some gems to enjoy.
Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
Following the Wii U and 3DS servers being taken offline, Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and Ghosts are officially dead.
Call of Duty players are jumping into Black Ops 2 for the final time before its Wii U servers go offline for good.
