This interview with Jonathan Smith, producer of Lego Star Wars, really steams me. In it he states:
The game will feature co-op online play for both the PlayStation 3 and the 360 but not for the Wii. Smith explained the decision by saying, "Our reservation is not many people play the Wii online. Let's see what happens in the future."
Uh, what??
How many games can you really have a great online playing experience on the Wii with? If I recall properly, there aren't a whole lot. The only way online play on the Wii is going to be popular is if someone like him, the game developer, actually puts online play into the game. I don't recall being able to magically add online play to any game I desire.
So come on game developers, let's get with it and start putting real online play into Wii games.
Pretty please...

How much do you want to bet that Sony and Microsoft, knowing that online gaming is one of their few remaining advantages, twisted some arms to keep the Wii lagging in this area.
It'll catch up, but nobody outside of Nintendo is going to make it easy.
I'm sure your right. Nintendo's attitude towards online play doesn't help either. I know in the past, the higher ups have all played down the online role.
