if Nintendo includes pictochat on the system, AGAIN, it had better have internet capabilities this time around. I remember back when NWFC launched, people were hoping for a pictochat 2.0 update for online, etc. What really irks me is how Nintendo thought of it as a selling point for the system when it did nothing. Check out this promo pic:
Why the HELL, would someone sitting right next to someone else write out a message when they could just ask them? It isn't like they are texting someone down the street - they are sitting right next to each other. A friend of mine was really excited when we got DSs because he lived 3 houses down. We thought pictochat would work. Just like the pointless GBA wireless Pokemon system, it didn't work! It still irritates me to this day!
