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. Whether you end up purchasing it or not (and I can understand if you're a hardcore fan of the game, maybe Worms Open Warfare 2? on PSP or DS: two online-centric versions of the game, would be a flavour you'd enjoy more), I'd like to thank you for taking the time to mail and say that we greatly appreciate the feedback we get from fans of the game.
Shacknews reports the upcoming Wii edition of Team17's long-running turn-based invertebrate-battling series, Worms: A Space Oddity, will not include the previously announced online multiplayer. There will not be an online component in Worms: A Space Oddity, publisher THQ confirmed with Shacknews following an initial report from IGN. The presence of online play was one of the many features touted when the game was first announced, and seemed a natural inclusion given that the recently released Worms: Open Warfare 2 (NDS, PSP) supported online multiplayer.
