Rumor: Just Sniffing Around

has nintendo not gotten the tools to make the cube online to 3rd paties yet??? if i knew that a week ago i wouldnt have ordered a broadband adapter. i am expecting to use at least 5 games online for my cube, but i agree with rick. if they dont announce anything by e3 i doubt there will be much online for the cube at all. its not that big of a deal to me anyways, but its still a nice bonus. especially mario kart online. i could play all my buddies off at different colleges and what not.

3rd parties should have tools to create online titles by now. I read somewhere that Nintendo was too slow with the tools and that is why last years games (Timesplitters 2 for lan, Tony Hawk online) didn't support the broadband adapter. Ghost Recon is a weird situation because the PS2 version isn't online. Maybe Microsoft paid for it or something.
I just noticed that F-Zero would be considered a Sega game. Since the PSO card game is probable their lan title, the odds are that F-Zero won't have lan gaming.

to me it would seem likely that fzero was online or at least supports lan play, because sega has worked on so many online games(even one for the cube). i will take either or and i will be dissapointed if the game isnt online.
BlkPaladin:
I serieiously doubt that F-Zero will have online, but Lan maybe another thing. Its just that I doubt Nintendo would allow Sega to host a Nintendo franchise on their servers and make money for themselves that way.

Sega wouldn't be making any money because they wouldn't charge anything. Nintendo's online games will be like the PS2. The only games that require a monthly charge would be the MMORPGs like Final Fantasy and Everquest. The online games are peer to peer.
