Is there a reason why they chose not to have online play in Punchout!!?

I don't get that at all, to me it makes no sense.

So the game is meant for my friends to come over and play with me on my Wii but not meant for me and my friends to play together from our own homes with our own Wii's?

...

 

I know for you new gamers it might sound strange but in the NES -  Playstation era we used to have to play at our friends houses and vice versa to play multiplayer games. Also, it was just called multiplayer back then. Also, we didn't say racist or sexist remarks to each other. That was a neccessary part to keeping friends back then.

 

Please check my profile before labeling me. I am 25 years old, have a gaming collection of over 250-300 titles ranging from the Atari 2600 to the Wii. Your profile shows no age for all I know you may actually be a "newer" gamer than I am.

 

 

 

Euphoira14, you handled that all wrong.

Anyway, at 25, playing games with your friends becomes more difficult than it was at 16 or 17 or even younger. People have lives as Euphoira14 has stated. And while there was an arcade scene and other local ways to play games, those scenes are largely non-existent today. Online play has replaced arcades very much in America, so game developers should give us thee option to play random players. The upside is playing more than your local gaming community, the downside is lag can hinder to ruin the game play. But I want thee option to hinder my game play. Where I live now, there is not much of a gaming community yet I have high speed interent. Can you see where I am going here?
