Yay!

 I wasn't gonna get the game if there wasn't online multiplayer

this generation is officially over!

I can't wait to kick everyones here's arse... Friendscodes swapping forever :(

I wonder why they picked right now to announce it?  To steal the thunder of Sony and Microsoft's TGS stuff maybe?

One word : YAY!!!!

 Nah, they would've waited until their own smallest expos after TGS, wouldn't they? Maybe more surprises to come? 

@NintendoTogepi  Yeah, as everyone else

Yes yes YES!

But whats even better was this part of the update:

WOW! Can you guys imagine what other modes? Tornament and ladder modes that track wins and losses? Co-op story mode? OMFG man seriously. This plus Halo = Im good until christmas 2008.

This was so great when i saw it on the official site.. in a matter of two seconds, my hype level rose from "probably" to "definitely" and is now sitting right next to metroid (incidentally it is still about a mile away from galaxy)

One question is: the ranking system is only mentioned in regards to the "wi-fi with anyone" mode, so i'm unsure of whether the same applies for "with friends".. hope not.. i want to be able to keep track for bragging rights

And thus, millions of ninty fans ended up with sticky keyboards after the news.

P.s: where is Ben? He's having a wet dream and he doesn't even know why.. All we need is Sonic now to finish off teh interwebs.

 Greek here-> pws paei patrida?
