Forums - Nintendo - Disappointing news, Facebreaker have no online, wait for part 2 for online

IGN: Thanks for the info! Is there an online or WiiConnect24 support of any kind?

Trey: Online was definitely something we had in mind from the beginning, but it really came down to making sure we didn't bite off more than we can chew. If we had invested in online, in addition to all of the other stuff we have in store for you, would have been forced to water down the quality of the experience across the board and this is something we did not want to do. At the end of the day, we knew if we didn't nail the controls, the depth in character differentiation, and the "hang out, play, and have fun with a bunch of friends" experience that there wouldn't be a FaceBreaker K.O. Party 2, and we desperately want to keep working in the land of FaceBreaker. If you guys end up digging what we did this time out of the box, I can assure you that adding online next time around will be one of the first things we look at.

Doesn't matter to me personally. On Wii I'd much rather play against someone in the house were you can all have a great laugh. I wouldn't play this online even if it was an option.

Well some members here wants their game to be online. But I admit its not what KO party isnt designed for, and the developers have valid reasons why they didnt include online...

What for macabre gameplay haha. If I'm going to buy a boxing game, I'm getting it on Wii. Otherwise it's boring.

this is not 2007, if a 360/ps3 version has online then wii version should too no lame excuses.

I think they'll work on it later in the development, the game wasnt gold yet anyway RIGHT?
