Topic: So do we know if Wii is capable of LAN play?

I mean, I can't imagine why it wouldn't be. But you'd think if it was, they would have bothered to add this option into the multiplayer of some of the games. *COUGHREDSTEELEXCITETRUCKCOUGH*

I believe in Pale's impressions from Nintendo's Sept. 14th press event he asked if BWii was playing on LAN and the answer was "yes".

My guess is the games that aren't on LAN probably aren't because Nintendo has been keeping the networking info under wraps in general.

Edit: removed worthless guesswork on why Nintendo isn't offering this, changed online to "on LAN".

I don't think either of those have LAN play, at least Red Steel doesn't offer it, to my knowledge.

I'd hope that there'd be some indication on the back of the game if it supports online/LAN play...

[Dirk Temporo]

I was saying that it would be nice if those were playable over LAN. >.>

Yah Excite TRuck Lan would be sweet.

if the suport is ther none of the launch games use it from what I can figure out. Its really SUCKS COD3 asnt online but if it cant even do lan then I am begingin to worry a little.

You're correct.  BWii was showing off multiplayer and there was a ethernet cable strung between the kiosks.
