a friend of mine keeps tellnig me that they've confirmed it a while back. while I don't remember reading anything about it!!

now its delayed to 2006!!

is it online or what now? any reason givin for the delay?

 

[Zerodoppler]

The developer who previewed it live on gamespot said it would not be online. A possible sequel might be, though.

 

[human5892]

No reason given for the delay AFAIK, but some people are speculating that online will be added. I personally have no idea.

IGN Mailbag:

I read the news on Metroid Prime : Hunters being delayed... I'd take that as good news if one thing was for sure. How much of a possibility is it that the game will now make use of Nintendo Wifi Connection? I think that if it did it'd be a super killer app!

Let's just say this: if Metroid Prime Hunters ships next year without some sort of link to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, I'll drive down to the LA office on the day of the game's release and give Matt a big, wet one. Right on the lips. And we'll post the videos on IGN Insider.

Its Nintendo they don't give a damn about anything, except money.
They are not delaying this game to include an Online mode.
I guess they're making some Hunters>Metroidprime 3 , connectivity feature.
Because the Revolution will launch early next year.

And so begins IGN's slow but inevitable transition to a porn subscription website

You mean... Nintendo as a company wants to make money? ZOMG

magic 8ball says: not likely

Of course it's likely. It's almost definite.

IGN DS strongly hinted at it just a month or two ago as well.

if so, interest +5

 

[ToyMachine228]

Well since Nintendo has now delayed the game several times, now to the point where the Nintendo WiFi Network will be up and running, it definitely seems plausible.

 

[Mihail]

Possible? Likely? Yes. Confirmed? Yes.

go to the Wi-Fi section

 

[blackadde]

Metroid Prime Hunters will allow you to test your blah blah blah

In addition to local area network gameplay, Metroid Prime Hunters will also allow players to compete against other Metroid fans miles away through Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection gameplay. /snip

Interest +1000

 

[RaySpencer]

Thats pretty awesome that its gonna have online for sure...i mean most of us figured thats why they delayed it...but to see that its true is just awesome


Pretty sure i will be buying this game now

 

[puck1337]

Online is the only real reason for this game to exist, so it's good that it's finally confirmed.

 

[StarscreamLSU]

Pucker up, Craig.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Pucker up, Craig.

You seem confused.
