Worms Wii Lacks Promised Online Play

Shacknews reports the upcoming Wii edition of Team17's long-running turn-based invertebrate-battling series, Worms: A Space Oddity, will not include the previously announced online multiplayer.

"There will not be an online component in Worms: A Space Oddity," publisher THQ confirmed with Shacknews following an initial report from IGN.

The presence of online play was one of the many features touted when the game was first announced, and seemed a natural inclusion given that the recently released Worms: Open Warfare 2 (NDS, PSP) supported online multiplayer.

I don't understand how they can get online on PSP and DS, but can't for Wii title.

Sad...

It's no wonder nothing else sells but Nintendo First party games, the rest of the developers, are just trying to get things out as fast as possible, and trying to cash in on Wii hype.

Blame the developer. Can't say anything else here... "Worms has been always about playing it with friends in same room." Yet they had online for all of the previous installments? Fail. Massive fail.

They want to sell it as a Party game, especially seeing how they didn't deliver on what they said would have in the game.

UGH
they should atleast introduce " Connect to IP " and save the Ip's in some bookmark....its an old thing but they could have done that right?
i mean we have been doing stuff like that for ages.

The end result of this is simply that sales of the Wii version of the game will be less than stellar. Team17/THQ only have themselves to blame.

100% agree, then, the developers wonder why only Nintendo games sell, and 3rd parties don't, this is a prime example of not delivering on features promised.
