Nintendo has this gen in the bag, if they get online multiplayer, they can't lose.
But if they don't, then the 360 is going to lead in sales...

It does suck that Metroid won't offer an online portion (that could have been good!)
Nintendo whats the deal here man....will this machine give me online play or what?
I'll say again because it sounds like you don't know about online Wii games-
I even believe Eledees has online portions too.
Can someone please explain the idea to me that Metroid couldn't/shouldn't have multiplayer? I really don't understand what makes it a game where multiplayer would be bad.
Having metroid online would enhance the game, the Nintendo crowd here likes to find new excuses to back up the shoddy planning of the company they love.
It's like saying Resistance, GeOW, or Rainbow Six would be bad online. They all have decent single player stories, but the online abilities enhance the game. Online wouldnt hurt Metroid, it would only add to it and make it a better game. Nintendo messed up, but then again they never quite "got" online, nor do they get it with the lame codes and all.

RETRO RETRO RETRO
RETRO developed Prime. NOT NINTENDO. It was THEIR call to make. As they said before, if you actually read about it-- they didn't have the resources and felt the game would be better off if they put everything they had into the single player mode.
There's a whole slough of reasons why Prime shouldn't be multiplayer, so I won't get into that, I'll just refer you to MP2's multiplayer mode.

More excuses? SWEET!

Mario Strikers: Charged Football has online play
This doesn't sound like the actions of a company shunning online play. It sounds like the actions of a company being very slow to take off with online play.
The issue he has is with Nintendo making a fuss over WiFi and then not giving the goods in order to use it and quite simply just not using it at all. Multiple 3rd party companies have complained about this, i would bet EA's sports games won't have Wifi, why? Its because Nintendo doesn't seem to know how to even implement it in to their games, however they are too happy to just port GCN games to the Wii for a quick and sloppy profit and not make innovative strides in the direction that their hardware was built on.. (and please don't give me any waggle crap excuses, waggle is FAR from innovative.)
If this is elebits in the US it had level sharing.. i would hardly call that online portions.
The biggest mistake Nintendo made was releasing wii sports without wifi online funtionality, yes it plays fine without it, but like most games it would be Better with it.

The original Half Life did have multiplayer online. Or are you talking about a console version?

Retro is damn near in-house Nintendo., they are Nintendo only. That'd be like saying blame Bungie not Microsoft for Halo not having Live play.
