Well, I'm really REALLY excited about this game, but we are getting our first small bit of bad news.
No online play.
Honestly, doesn't matter much to me, I'm only really interested in the 1 player game anyway, but for those that wanted it... sorry.
I'll still buy it the day it comes out.

Retro Studios confirms single-player-only campaign.
By Andrew Hayward, 07/03/2007
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes' offline multiplayer mode may not have compared favorably to that of most console shooters, but after the improved Wi-Fi play in Metroid Prime Hunters on the DS, some may have expected Nintendo to bring a similar mode to the Wii release of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
Sadly, it's not meant to be. Developer Retro Studios confirmed to GamePro in a recent interview that Corruption will be focused solely on the single-player campaign. When asked if the game would feature any online play modes, Retro Studios President and CEO Michael Kelbaugh replied:
"No. It's something we talked about early on, but we only have so many resources. We opted to devote those resources to making a better single-player experience."
With the first online game for Wii (Pokemon Battle Revolution) just recently hitting stores, it may not be terribly surprising that the next big release joins the vast majority of Wii titles without Wi-Fi play. However, with all the delays, some may have been expecting a little something extra from Corruption.
After a slight date revision, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is now slated to ship on August 27th. |

Remember that Nintendo doesn't have the fund backing that Sony and MS have to build their online infrastructure.
I think they are moving in the right direction... it's just taking them longer.
The announcement of WiiWare was a good step. |

WTF?? We survived for years as gamers without massive online play. What is wrong with disconnected gaming? Isn't it still fun? |

Yes its still fun, but multiplayers always been incredibly popular, and people don't have the time to go home, then go round a mates house for a multiplayer session, plus split-screen is a bit meh to be honest. |
