<strike>I saw it somewhere. I'm sorry, I have no link. But I'm 80% certain Nintendo said that there isn't enough time to make it.</strike> The game was delayed to add wifi sometime after this post. A fair bit, I think.

P.S. First ever post! W00t!

You are indeed correct.  http://ds.ign.com/articles/616/616902p1.html

IGN: With multiplayer being Metroid Prime Hunter's focus, and Nintendo's stance on going online with its Nintendo DS software, what can you tell us about the possibility of this game going online?

Kensuke Tanabe: Unfortunately, the game won't support the multiplayer internet function of the Nintendo DS. To do it, it's not that easy and we'd have to build the infrastructure for it to work properly. The timing of the game release and the building of the infrastructure just didn't match. So while it won't be online, multiplayer will still be very very fun.

Someone'll probably make a wireless card driver to make the DS think it's linking up locally with other people on the net.  If they've managed to get an E3 wireless demo driver I don't doubt their ability to do this.

Okay, all hope in a fully online Metroid game is gone for me.

I still maintain that it didn't really matter seeing as how it's not like they needed a petition to realize people didn't like the idea. They just did that so they could get the sob story.

Why does Nintendo insist on not making online games? It just annoys everyone! What do they hope to gain from depriving the people of what they want?

I don't even know if the majority of primarily Nintendo players even want online play. Maybe so, but I sure don't.

I've asked this before but, what is this obsession with playing games online? I've played some online multiplayer games and can't see what's so great about it.

1. Opponents adapt, learn, and are always different.  No AI glitches to exploit, and patterns don't work.

2. Skills generally get much higher when playing against humans, because they learn and adapt.  You can also test your skill against other people.

3. You can play and have a laugh at the same time, without squeezing 4 people round a TV.

I agree with the first two, but for the third I see your point, but I never got many laughs from online multiplayer, mainly because of the often idotic things popping up in the chat, but then when I play multiplayer I prefer to play against people I know, it's a  holdover from when online multiplayer didn't exist...

You find people on the net or something like that and play with them for laughs.  Find a decent clan or something like that.  If Hunters was online, we could've made a clan from here.

That's a good point, online multiplayer still isn't a real priority for me,  but now I at least have an idea why people like it, I guess when you have two sisters that only play sporadicly, you get used to going for a game with good single player and multi player takes a back seat.

mainly when you have trh on your team, that's when things really take off, imho.

Well, yeah, having the experience of watching him play is the meaning of life.
