The price point on the micro console is said to be, lower than the Wii. It occurs to me, that if Onlive were available as a “channel” on the Wii, consumers might be willing to buy the Wii even at an higher price just to get Wii sports.

Secondly, (and more importantly) it seems that most of the games on Onlive, aren’t on the Wii. The only ones I saw were Tomb Raider, World Of Goo, and Lego Batman; let me know if I missed any. So, if Wii owners could get access to Onlive it would really expand that third party titles available.

And Nintendo could say, buy the Wii for Mario, Zelda, Smash Bros. and Wii sports, and use the onlive channel for a ton of third party titles. I think by attaching them selves with onlive, it would really expand the library of software available.

I don’t think Nintendo should put anything up, on the service, merely support the service the same way Mac and PC’s do. If you want Mario you have to buy Nintendo, but throw in BioShock, Mirrors edge, unreal etc through Onlive.

What do you think?

Thanks you for the post.

Onlive isn't a console, it's a tiny piece of software (about 1 MB).
It's pretty much a video player, that will run on any current PC or intel Mac.

There is also a small box that hooks to the TV, again it's pretty much a video a player.

In either case you use a standard USB controller (with the box, a wireless one is included) to play the games. The games are processed remotley on Onlive's servers.

The Basic idea, is that the servers that Onlive has kick butt, and can play even the most cutting edge games with all the bells and whistels on.

The PC/mac/box becomes just a "dumb box" putting up the video from the Onlve Server, and sending control input back to it.

The games on it WILL NOT be things that are exclusive to microsoft XBOX, Sony or Nintendo. (ie no Mario, Halo, or what have you). They will be either orginals, or hames alrwady on the PC.

I have tried many websites for Wii games download. But some games are not working properly with Wii. It will be great help for me, if some one suggests a good website especially for Wii games download.

You can not download Wii games from websites, without a Modded Wii.

If you mod your Wii, you will not be able to play current games like "New Super Mario Bros".

To download games to your wii, you need to do it through the Wii Store.

Luckily there are some free demos for you.
