Well, since Nintendo has yet to get off there lazy a$$es and start telling more about the 'Cube going online, dont get hopes up too much. But with Sega and Nintendo seeming to get closer and closer
I wouldnt be too surprised if they eventually announced online play. Madden '03 is rumoured online(at least for 'Cube and 'Box) But I dont expect EA to support online with the other 2 consoles since they are giving everything to PS2 and whatnot. But Nintendo has given out the coding or whatever to allow online play in games. Now its just up to the developers/publishers to put it in and set up the servers and whatnot.
