Its free, other than the $35 braodband adapter (or 56K for you poor souls), and the cost of your internet provider.

Speaking of online, George Harrison of NOA had this to say about the next Nintendo console:

"But having said that, we know that consumers continue to be interested in online gaming, and we know that it has to be a component of our next system. We're thinking about how we can fit it in, what kind of partners we would need, and so on. "

Nintendo has also said previously, if they do go online, it should be free of charge. Other than maybe an initial cost.

A 56k modem adapter won't work with warppipe. You might be able to push out a frame per second with the 'gold' version that will be released early 2004....but as of now, warpipe only supports broadband.

I wouldn't buy any nintendo product ever again if they didn't full out support online play with their next console.

If they supported LAN with a 3rd Party company developing a good tunnel software, that would satisfy me.

If full online was supported, that would satisfy me the same way.

But at least LAN, with a 3rd Party company developing a good form of tunneling.

Bah, what was all this stupid talk about GameSpy about??

I don't want tunneling....

Oh well, better than nothing!

Well gamespy offers great services. Buddy list, chats, player matching, etc.

Im curious...would this work if you had you gamecube connected to your internet through a wireless router? Or would the signal have to go directly from your computer or something?

Hope that helps. Can't wait to play it online, but it sort of sucks that there isn't a chatbox...
