Nintendo Needs to Man Up

Well, we've heard it from Xbox Live users about how Nintendo Wifi lacks freedom such as speech, and how you can only do a lot of things if you have friend codes. I do think it is nice, but I do think Nintendo should loosen the leash a little bit more. I'm thinking that in perhaps later installments, Nintendo Wifi could enable voice speech to people of a certain age group. For instance, if it is a game like Call of Duty where speech is necessairy, if not almost required, to make tatics and such, they should have it so that way people 13+ or 18+ can do voice chats at their own consent. There could also perhaps be a "mute mode" in which people who aren't in the age group or people who opt to not chat would not be able to listen to the chat if they were in a room that would allow for chat. Yes, Nintendo should also try to lighten up, encourage 3rd party makers to not be all whimps and produce just cheap little mini-game collections that I have been seeing released every month ever since the Wii was created. If only the third party paid attention to the first party, then the third party would have some inspiration plot-wise and graphic-wise and produce better games for the Wii. Yet strangely, the DS has better games than most of what is on the Wii...
