Come on guys be realistic....... how do you expect 3rd parties to jump on the bandwagon when the company( Nintendo) who makes the console hasn't shown much interest in it.
They have made no annoucement about major online support or a network ( thanks to that whole keep everything a secret else everyone will steal it attitude), so Nintendo 's future online look pretty blurry right now.
We are playing Tennis? COOLbeans.

As for the whole point on online gaming, it is true that Nintendo hasn't given it much effort (if any at all), but that doesn't mean folks can't make use of it, I mean Sega did, and wouldn't it be a bit wiser to release your game on a system with limited online support? I mean the market is a bit less crowded there so it has a better chance of standing out.

But no one has really answered my question, if the developers can't make the game to go online because of weak support, why can't they take advantage of some of the Cube's specific feature. I mean the only two I could think of are the "digital click" and the GCN/GBA connection, and like Nintendo and several other 3rd parties have shown the GCN/GBA connection has some flexibitliy to open up features on the Cube version that no other console could match.
