Now I don't really care much about online but this is a bit rediculus...

"Nintendo is still not letting Wii third-party publishers include online capabilities in their games and it doesn't look like they will during 2007."

So they are holding off online to 2008? I thought Nintendo was releasing online games this year (SSBB for example).

When a link has the word "gossip" in it... try not to take it as cold hard fact.

The fact of the matter is not that it's gossip. It's the fact that Nintendo is actually preventing third party online support right now.

Your basing that completely off of a site that has this labled  as "gossip".

So yes the fact that it is gossip is that I tend to not look at it as "fact".

Even on that link the site says "IF this is true..."

"As for online, Reggie said that Pokemon Battle Revolution is doing well in Japan and would be the first online title in the U.S. He said online development kits have been seeded and titles are coming."

Didn't Ubisoft announced an online title for March 20 and Elebits isn't the first to use Wiiconnect 24?

I misread the article earlier, sorry. But why would the prevent third parties from making online games? What does Nintendo gain/profit from this?

Think what you like, it's gossip because Ben Herman makes the statement that it will probably not have any online till 2008. It doesn't change the fact that he states Nintendo is holding off.

If Blazing Angles isn't online, someone needs to tell the game retailers, as they are advertising it as being 16 player online! http://www.play.com/Games/Wii/RCS/3-/1117630/Blazing_Angels_Squadrons_Of_WWII/Product.html

I agree with you completely. Doesn't change the fact that the only thing we can do online 5 months after launch is buy stuff or browse.

How is it confirmed? By what company rep?  Confirmed because of boxart? Confirmed because of a generis multiplatform description on their site? Please.  Give me a break. 

It isn't confirmed until a Ubisoft rep says it's confirmed.  Do you actually think Nintendo is going to let Blazing Angels be the first online game here?  Especially when they have said over and over Pokemon would be.  March 20th is 2 1/2 weeks away.  That gives no time for Pokemon to be released first.

We all want it to be true but it's highly unlikely that it is.

No it hasnt, if your talking about the main page which says 16 online, they just copied and pasted from the 360. It also says it runs in 720p.
