idk about what all of you guys are saying about Metroid being about "puzzle solving," etc. But the advertisements of the combat system that I saw made it look PERFECT for online dueling. |
You're right. It probably would have made a good online multi-player, but there are already so many games that have great online components. Why would I want Nintendo to water down the single player game because they had to divert resources to add online functionality?
Online FPS has already been done to DEATH!!! Nintendo doesn't have to waste money on servers when they know you'll probably want to play CS or Halo 3 anyways. |
I am a huge fan of Metroid Prime, but you are really reaching at straws here. Nintendo has plenty of excuses for not making MP3 online (e.g., the fact that it's an exploration based game, the fact that the multiplayer wouldn't have time to be polished appropriately, so on and so forth) but "online games have been done to DEATH!!!" is not one of them. The lack of online gaming is one of Nintendo's greatest weaknesses, and while I do not fault them for leaving multiplayer out of MP3, they most definitely need to be trying to take gamers who are used to Halo3 and CS, and get them interested in playing FPS shooters online via the Wii. The control scheme is there, the physical capability is there, and it's not like Nintendo has to write them off; once good online shooters are available on the Wii, you will see people come to play them, and that demographic will increase Nintendo's profitability even more. |
This is where 3rd parties just need to step up and make a game with the wii in mind. It's not nintendo's style to make a FPS, but I think there is an audience there that is begging for an online FPS that really takes advantage of the wii-mote. I guess right now we just got MOH. |
I agree 100%, except that I think MOH seriously sucks. It is a pretty obvious port from an under powered system, and frankly the gameplay is identical to Medal of Honor: Allied Assault from like 1998. Yea, it controls fine, but the gameplay itself is very dull. I hope to see much better stuff in the future; MOH:H2 is by no means a "Halo Killer", or even in the same universe as it or any other competent multiplayer FPS developed in the last 4 years.
The online play is definitely "there" but that's really all I can say about it. Very glad it was only a rental.
