No online for 3rd Party games!

This is taken straight from Joystiq:


Buried at the bottom of an IGN preview for the Wii' s Tony Hawk' s Downhill Jam is the news that not only is this game not going to feature any online component, but every 3rd-party game that comes out for the Wii won' t support anything online either. Not until 2007 will publishers be able to offer up Wi-Fi gaming to eager players who picked up a Wii.

IGN Says:" Gamers hoping for an online component, however, are in for bad news, because one isn' t planned. Activision would not say why, but IGN has separately learned from multiple development sources that Nintendo will not release Wii Wi-Fi Connection libraries to third parties until early 2007, which means that no third party launch title will have an online mode."


This is a bit of a let-down, isn' t it?

You ashould mention its for the Wii in the topic Header.

Wii isnt going to be big online, it dosent have the power for massive battles or the stuture [still using friend codes eh?]

I am not saying it will be bad, it sure will be fun, but I dont think it will be up there with ps3/360 online.

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!
