January 19th, 2008 - Go Nintendo publishes an email from John Dennis of Team17¿

"Firstly, thanks for taking the time to mail. We appreciate the time and effort involved in mailing, and enjoy hearing from the people who play our games¿. we think it's one of the things that has kept the brand evergreen for so many years.

In answer to the issue you highglight in your email, I'm afraid that online will not be present in A Space Oddity. While I appreciate many gamers would like to see that feature, we're not able to change the release date due to contractual obligations with THQ.

I'm really sorry that I can't be more helpful in this instance, but hope that you appreciate the effort and love that we *have* put into the game.
