Forums - Nintendo - Punch-Out!! to have multiplayer, why no online?

LordTheNightKnight on 20 March 2009

"what's up with the online obsession? I agree that having it as an option is OK but it should not change the game from a must buy to a must rent."

I know. It's Metroid Prime 3 all over again.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Guess the lack of online might cripple this title's sales, then, judging by this thread. I personally don't care about online at all, so I'm just as excited as I was before.

 Besides as shams put it. Lag would kill it.

So why don't they fix the lag then?  Are we going to allow lag to be used as an excuse from now till eternity?  I wouldn't have suggested online if there was no multiplayer but if the game has multiplayer it should have online.  This is 2009. 

 

 

Games have to be designed with online multiplayer from the start.. otherwise the online portion might not turn out very well..

"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy

Not just that, Brawl and MK Wii followed two different online models to see which would work better. Obviously it's the latter.
