Activision: Yes, we're making online-enabled games for Wii

During an interview with IGN that mainly focused on the company's recent acquisition of Demonware, a third-party source for networking solutions, Activision confirmed its plans to bring online functionality to Wii games. What they implied during said interview, however, was that they would be the first third-party publisher to flip the online switch in its games.

What exactly was said to imply as such, you ask? Well, Duke Collins responds to the question of online play in Wii games, stating "If you look at our track record, we've always been pretty much the first network guys on any platform coming out," backing up that implication when asked directly if they would be developing online-enabled games for the system by saying "Yeah, I would say we do." Can you say rock?

Well there goes that whole thing on no third party online games.

Good find wenis!
Turn on the switch? But that's good newsBig Grin
I think Tony Hawk was the first online game for the DS. For the Wii too perhaps?
The old thread was just pwned. Thank you Wenis!
lol, I thought the exact same thing.

*High fives Wenis and Sakura and gives them cookies*

Alright. O and one more thing.

*Spreads love*
i can't find dates to see when this interview and the other were done. could be a simple numbers game if one was conducted before the other

i'm hoping this one becomes the true one though. there's no real reason online is taking this long unless Nintendo is re-doing the friend code thing
COOKIESS!!!! AND LOVEEE!!!

*LOVE*

I want Sims to be online! ^^
lol, maybe I gave you too many cookies...Toungue

I like cookies.

Anyways back on topic. Toungue

I'm not surprised that Activision is making online games and am pretty happy about it as you may have seen.
Freakin' awesome! Looks like we'll be seeing online play sooner than I thought...
I WILL HAVE NO COOKIES IN MY BOARD...unless i get some Toungue

why is there so much contradiction regarding 3rd party online support? does Nintendo know what's going on with their own system?

I'm with you on that. The Sims would definitely be a much better game if it had some online capability.

I'll bet MySims will be online, especially since it'll release in 2008 (maybe later but I doubt it) when online on Wii should already be off and running.

Didn't Midway claim that Mortal Kombat would support online play? In fact, I remember writing a news post about it.
Ya I remember that. But it says in my Nintendo Power that it supposedly coming out in April 2007. So if that's true then no online for Armeggedon. But weren't they making another one as well?
yeah i really looking forward to online play I'm glade developers are taking interest in online wii games!
