According to [url=http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=NVPCXGCNRRRKMCRBAELCFFA?type=technologyNe ws&storyID=3966707§ion=news]Reuters[/url], AOL is making a new gaming 'ladder' for the Gamecube, which is currently launching for PS2.
This service is free for AOL users and $20 a month for others?! Planet GameCube wrote:
AOL Ladders is based on the Case's Ladder service, which allows online players to find opponents, play each other, and then report the results of the game to a ranking server. The results are used to keep global rankings, so the best players will be recognized. In some services, the top players can even receive prizes. Ladder rankings have been used in online PC gaming and Xbox Live for years, while console games have sometimes replicated the concept through passwords that can be entered on a special website. Ikaruga for GameCube had just such a feature. What's unusual about this announcement is the plan to support GameCube in 2004. Currently, the only GameCube title with confirmed online play is Phantasy Star Online III, which is not conducive to ladder rankings anyway. So, considering recent deals and plans for cooperation between Nintendo and AOL, this announcement could indicate that there are unannounced online titles being planned for GameCube in the coming year. From the sounds of this AOL is just trying to make money, because they know no one uses their service Planet GameCube thinks that this may mean more online titles, but personally I don't think this will be the case. This must be the AOL-Nintendo alliance that was posted Here |

This purly baffles me. What is there to ladder? I don't get it. This whole AOL + Nintendo thing seems like a huge mystery to me. I still don't understand what games they can possibly make ladders for. Unless they liscesced database software for Ikaruga, Fzero and Mario Golf. Which I doubt. | ||||
