No, they weren't there at launch, but as time passed (a short amount of time actually), more and more games on the PS3 or 360 were getting co-op one after another, while the Wii still wasn't getting many.

Now we're here in almost Fall 2009 almost 3 years after the launch of the Wii, which is a good amount of time to see what's been going on....and now another 3rd party game with no online co-op comes out and you act surprised. If I had a Wii since launch and I wanted online co-op in games, and not that many had them....I'd just buy a cheap PS3 or 360 (well, maybe not a 360, I don't want it to die lol..it's $200 anyway) online. I wouldn't sit around and just wait for someone to FINALLY implement online co-op, all the while bitching out everyone else who hasn't.

It's kind of like (another PS3/360 analogy) the 360 getting all the exclusive JRPGs. Everyone thought that since the Playstation 3...was a Playstation 3, it was going to get all the JRPGs. Then the 360 kept getting them, exclusively, one after another. All us PS3 fans kept bitching, especially at Square, "The PS3 has the higher userbase in Japan, where your games REALLY matter" or "Playstation helped build your company and its' kinds of games, why're are you betraying your fans?" So what should someone do? Keep bitching that you're not getting something that you can get somewhere else RIGHT NOW, or buy a 360, and play Star Ocean, Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia (NOW! not a year later), etc.?

Online co-op is not an independant gameplay element. Its not like there is an online co-op genre the Wii is missing that the other systems are getting. It is a feature that is put into games. It is possible to do it on all systems. This is like waiting for a game to use rumble on the PS3. This is nothing like waiting for a JRPG on any console. Your comparisons are getting worse as we continue to argue. Do you even understand what you are saying? Or are you just randomly mashing keys on your keyboard?

I know it's not an independent feature. I know it's not it's own genre. But NOT THAT MANY DEVELOPERS ARE IMPLEMENTING IT INTO THEIR WII GAMES! That's what I'm trying to say. It's *possible* to do it on the Wii. The Wii has online capabilities....but how many games have that feature for the Wii? And how many games would you like to play with said feature? I bet there's probably a discrepancy in the numbers there. 

An Apple Macbook is plenty capable of playing games, but developers seem to only put most of their games on PC. As a Mac owner...do you complain to them, or do you get a PC instead?
