Blazing angels WIFI discrepancy

X2222 · 03-10-2007, 08:05 AM

Here's my question, why does the picture of the box for blazing angels for the wii on amazon and gamestop look slightly different. The main difference is the nintnedo WIFI logo on the amazon one and the exclusion of it on the gamestop one. The amazon listing even mentions 16 player multiplayer. Huh?

Also can anyone confirm the release dates for heatseekers and prince of persia. There is also a lot of discepancies on that from store website to website. Thanks.

I just read an article in the other online forum and it said that blazing angels' online cabability (and all other non-nintendo games) have had their multiplayer modes disabled through 2007. The publisher confirmed it will no longer have multiplayer. Thats really a huge shame and it seems true.

I don't think they've had online kits long enough to implement online features into the game... And I thought servers are hosted by the leader of the matches? This isn't an MMORPG, don't see why Nintendo would be involved

But then again they are involved... Nintendo said no 3rd party, online titles this year.

That's not entirely true. 3rd parties have onlin development kits now, but it may take awhile for them to work it into their games. Sega has an online pachinko game come out in Japan in May that also uses Miis.

It won't be released with online features, but maybe a few months later some online features will be added, it could happen.

Nintendo is not allowing it... how is what I said not true?

MysticGohan · 03-10-2007, 04:38 PM

ymm hello! the people that are making it in UK said "No Online"....

Amazon

EB Games

Celestial · 03-10-2007, 04:38 PM

Yup, he's right, Nintendo won't allow it, but I don't think the ban is until 2008 is it?

MysticGohan · 03-10-2007, 04:42 PM

i posted that... it looks like it...

here is the like to the artical that sates its not online...Link

Totally GUTTED that it isn't online. Was really looking forward to this, what are Ninty up too?

Skorp · 03-10-2007, 05:06 PM

Personally I think nintendo is making sure their games aren't overshadowed. They want their games to come out when everyone is thirsting for games. They don't want other online games to take away from sales. It's like the situation now, if SSX hadn't come out now and instead came out this summer I doubt it would have sold as many copies. Same reason nintendo doesn't want online competition when their online games come out.

Skippy · 03-11-2007, 12:31 AM

There's NO ban - 3rd party developers are working on online games now. Sega is releasing one in Japan in May. That was just a rumor based on a badly-worded statement from a developer.
