This is a rumor saying that the Wii Animal Crossing will be an MMO. :-\ I honestly don't understand how an MMO could exist with Friend codes..... But I do want this rumor to be true. :)

that'd be pretty cool, providing they pulled it off right (as in not having seperate towns, but maybe having seperate apartment blocks, a global economy, and jobs).

I'm more looking forward to a Star Wars MMO.

Try Star Wars Galaxies.

They've already got MapleStory on DS, though it's not slated for a US release.

Doubt this would ever work. Compared to the other systems, the Wii isn't as advanced. Also, I doubt a console system like this has enough RAM to constantly load all the players on a single screen. There'd be too much lag. Maybe a console MMO could work for the PS3 or 360. They've got good processors and internal hard drives.

Aren't all Wi-Fi games technically MMOs?

No, they are considered MMOGs (massive multiplayer online game) in my opinion.

WoW is an MMO. Mariokart isn't an MMO. You have to be able to play with someone at all times. :robotwink:
