Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aime has confirmed that Wii gamers will be able to play games online from the second quarter of 2007. Reggie’s pledge came in an interview with SpikeTV’s Game Head show where he also let slip that more Wii channels were in the works.
So far, Japan is the only region with a Wii game [Pokémon Battle Revolution - Ed] that can be played online. However, that’s set to change in the coming months, with Fils-Aime promising, “The multiplayer is coming. During the Japanese launch, there is Pokémon Battle Revolution, and that’s really the first one. There will be titles that we’ll be announcing in first quarter 2007, that’ll be multiplayer-enabled. So during second quarter 2007, people will be able to have a multiplayer experience on Wii.” In further good news for Wii fans, Fils-Aime revealed that Nintendo was hard at work developing more Wii channels, though revealed nothing about what they would involve.

I was hoping for Q1 but it's still the early half of the year, I wonder if this means that SSBB will come out in Q2 since it's supposed to have online play.:>_<:
