Midway: Mortal Kombat could have had online play
In the later part of an interview with IGN’s Matt Casamassina, Midway’s Ed Boon said that Mortal Kombat: Armageddon for the Wii could have had online play, only if the Wii had something in place to support it. With the Xbox, they had Xbox Live. With everything else, they had GameSpy.
So while the Nintendo Wii had Wi-Fi capability and the Connect24 feature in place, they didn’t have the service that mattered: game matching. If there was any, Midway would have had included multiplayer easily, because Armageddon already comes with online play capability.
But since Nintendo seems to be hush-hush about their dealings with GameSpy and their plans for online multi-play, it looks like the Wii version will remain a hot seat versus game instead. But Midway is not giving up hopes on Mortal Kombat Wii multiplayer.
Ed Boon answered a question regarding a sequel with online play support with: “If there was [multiplayer support] in place, of course we would definitely support it.” Story of the Wii-gamers lives, isn’t it?
