In a double whammy of “OH, COME ON!” inducing Nintendo news, it’s been confirmed thatMetroid Prime 3will not feature online multiplayer, andSuper Smash Bros. Brawlwill not be featuring in a playable form at E3.
Wired’s Game|Lifeis reporting that Nintendo will not be showingSuper Smash Bros. Brawlamong this year’s E3 Wii line-up, instead focusing on never-before-seen software. This is great and all, and with the smaller scale of this year’s E3, I can see why they’d do this. Let’s hope those never-before-seen titles aren’t five or six mini-game collections and a newBrain Age.
In other Wii news, Retro Studio’s CEO and President Michael Kelbeugh hasconfirmed to GameProthatMetroid Prime 3: Corruptionwill not feature online multiplayer. Kelbeugh insists that resources were allocated towards making the single-player experience as solid as possible, and that’s certainly admirable. But fans of the extremely solidMetroid Prime HuntersWi-fi play are somewhere crying right now.
