Metroid DS Title Not So Much Online

Posted by Zonk on from the what's-the-point,-then? dept.

The much anticipated Metroid Prime: Hunters for the Nintendo DS has been revealed to be slated to release without multiplayer. 1up.com has the story: "Really, we could have made this game online. But Nintendo's vision of online play is different from that of other companies...We wanted it to be free, easy, and easy to access for everybody. To set up the kind of infrastructure that we needed, and to meet the launch date we have for this game, the two just didn't match."

  1. ds is just crap by chrisxkelley · · Score: -1, Troll

    I think the nintendo ds was a huge waste. Seriously, the "p2p" wireless that they have is great and all, but with the psp's capability to connect to an 802.11b/g router it makes multiplayer so much better. Also the fact that the games for ds suck compared to psp's, nintendo sucks. im waiting for the nintendo revoolution to see if that can bring em back, but i doubt it
