Nintendo really needs to step up it’s online gaming platform. Maybe they really just don’t want it, who knows. Anyway, Rockstar’s Table Tennis is the latest victim for the Wii to lose it’s online mode.
According to CVG, Rockstar confirmed to them that the Wii version of the ping pong hit won’t have online play.
The online multiplayer mode featured in the 360 has been dropped on Wii because, as Rockstar explains: “All the focus is going into making it the most advanced control system on the Wii.”
I think that’s a bullshit answer. The real answer is probably closer to “Nintendo isn’t providing enough support to implement an online system.”
Loot Ninja was informed today that Rockstar Table Tennis, the minimalistic smash hit(no pun intended) from the Xbox360 will be coming to the Wii this Fall. The game that was so hard to put down will now be that much harder to resist using the Wiimote as paddle. I have this game for the 360 and loved it. I suck at real ping pong. but this could be really fun.
Ever since we released Table Tennis, fans have been asking us to create a Wii version,” said Sam Houser, Founder and Executive Producer of Rockstar Games. “By bringing Table Tennis to the Wii and utilizing the motion-sensitive Wii Remote™, a new audience can now experience a game that is beautifully designed and impossible to put down.”
