Nintendo is just failing to give third party devs the online tools. I'm disappointed in this, but I must say... I'm not a huge MK fan anymore, so I don't feel too bad for it. I'm sorry the other fans have to deal with though... well SSBB has online, that's all I need for a fighter, but yeah... Ninty needs to crank it up more...

Well it could have helped the controls, because we all know if the controls suck you wont even try it online.

Online games should be standard by now... the system has been out for like 8 months. :|

I wonder what the deal is with the wifi on the Wii because whenever my cousin downloads an update it seems to take way too long compared to the file size. It should be interesting to see when people start playing the stupid Mario sports games against each other.

Not really... it's about Nintendo sucking at online.  That probably didn't need a thread though... it's pretty much common sense by now. :(

This doesn't matter at all. Super Mario Strikers and Smash Bros. is all they need for online. I thought this was a fact by now?

Nintendo has been doing a good job with the VC... but they need to focus on online for once.

There's a slight difference between refusing to allow 3rd parties to go online and not having an online system ready.  If Nintendo's online system were already in place, we'd already have games from Nintendo themselves online.

Before the end of the year, it's a gurantee that there'll be an online 3rd party game released.

They're but it takes time to get a good system up, it took Microsoft 8 months to get there Online up for the First time, this is basically Nintendo's first time with online on such a large scale except for the DS.

Wait until June 25. Nuff said.

And mabye MP3 will be online.

Also the game designers of arregaden(sorry for bad spelling guess) don't want to delay the game but if they did delay it mult. would be possible.

Don't know about you and your obviously superior intelect, but I think the MK controls look great. I'm much more concerned with playing than memorizing button combos.

1. those are illegal and 2. If you delete games from the VC you can always download them again for free since the transaction is on the Console so if you need to clear space just delete and then when you want download again.

And Splinter Cell and COD3 which both have great online for 360 and PS3, not to mention he games are actually good on those systems.

The developers got the tools too late to implement online for the game. Early games will have to be delayed to include online for Wii. Still online is coming if you are willing to wait, I know I am.

its not illegal if you own the cartridge ;) and it is also better on pc cus you can play any multiplayer game on line without crappy friend codes, you only need an IP address :) i was playin smash tv online before it came to 360, in fact before 360 was even out lol

Yeah could someone explain this to me, why didn't ninty go with the old fashioned User Name but instead chose to replace it with a bunch of random numbers??

I fail to understand why this is a surprise to so many people. We've known for ages that Nintendo has yet to give third party developers the tools needed to implement online play. And yet people are getting upset over MK: A not having online and someone brought up SC and CoD3.

 Give me a break. We know that Pokemon will have online and that game comes out next month, be patient.  If you honestly cannot live without online play in a few games and you are also not patient enough to wait for games that have been confirmed to possess online capabilities, I wonder how you can consider yourself a gamer.

Guess what? I lived without online play from 1989 when I first played an NES all the way until the year 2001 when I picked up Diablo 2. Personally, I can wait a few more weeks. If you have an X-Box, 360, PS3 or PC it shouldn't be too difficult.

You act like they have had every console online before, what where you expecting, nintendo rules the home console market, the "home" console market. its been out a matter of months and all ready they sell 6million units with no online games to people buying it to enjoy at home with friends, i have no sympathy for people crying at nintendo for their wii online, look at their history, there developing the online play, not selling out over night. by this i mean like other developers making a game online as standard and building a weak game around it. nintendo make each game the best possible, that means online OR NOT.

not so much. sm strikers will have leaderboards, seasons, tournaments, with ranked and unranked matches. I think they are taking so long because they want to get it right the first time.
