So as we all know SmileBasic, petit computers 3rd japanese sequel was released in japan last summer and the rest of the world have been promised a release sometime this spring, or better said, any day now, it features a plethora of new input options with higher resolutions, 3D and an enhanced API to fallow suit, but it also brought about active multiplayer local communications which in my opinion is the one feature that makes it a sealed deal for me. With this feature we can now create multiplayer games to play with friends and family this could be an extremely usefull feature, or an ignored add on.

"Ignored add on? what are you talking about Corona that would be heavily used!"

Will it? tell me, do you have 2 or more 3DSs at your disposal?

"well I don't exactly own the other one but yeah I do."

Does said 3DS have petit computer on it?

"Ugh well not really just mine but I can get it on the other one, I think."

Exactly.

I don't think everyone is blessed enough to have multiple platforms with the full payed game to test their multiplayer code on, unless petit computer has Download play support the multiplayer feature will be a rare thing on most games and to that I say "Why not allow online play?"

Now I know what you're thinking, nintendo would never allow this, online communications between unmoderated software is risky, but does it have to be? Why not instead of just anyone being able to join anyone for a game, we can have only "3DS friends" play with eachother online, one friend would send the other a copy of the game, or it would be downloaded by SmileBooms servers and bam, online play, there would be a lot of issues with this like lag and desynchrinisation, but I just want to know your opinion on this, and sorry for using abstract language and very big words I just want to have a serious discussion with people who know the possibilities and limitations, and please don't hold back.
