No 3rd Party Online Support for Wii Until Next Year?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the non-optimal dept.

Via Joystiq, a preview for Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam at IGN. Such a thing isn't really news, of course, but down at the bottom of the article there is some distressing information. According to IGN, third party online support for the Wii will have to wait until next year. Joystiq points out that this could mean launch titles like Monkey Ball, Blazing Angels, and Call of Duty 3 may be offline-only.

    It has nothing to do with the hardware, if you RTFA. It says that the online libraries aren't being made available to 3rd party developers.

    Straight from Nintendo BWii will have online multiplayer; this means either it is not a launch title or IGN is full of crap (I think both are plausable).
