First Wii Connected games?

[motoxpress]

We have several friends/family that have Wii consoles and are looking forward to hooking up with them. What are going to be the first networked games available through WiiConnect24?

First real online game is pokemon battle revolution (which is really only for pokemon freaks) on June 25.
Mario strikers (which is going to rule) is coming out July 30.
Metroid prime may or may not have online, comes out aug 30th. (will find out at e3 most likely).
For xmas Smash Bros and Batallion Wars are online as well.
Madden 08 will be as well.

Those are the ones Im sure of off the top of my head, but there will be others.

Big Brain Academy (out now) lets you share scores with each other, but can't play together.

Strikers sounds like the one I am looking forward to. Thanks

I'll probably buy Strikers when it comes out but only because I'm looking for online play.

Unfortunately, it's not online. I hope they do make an online version at some point though.

I bet Nintendo will release a true "Wii Sports 2" sometime between summer '08 and Christmas '08 with online play and more polished minigames. But hopefully Mario/Sonic at the Olympics will have WiiConnect functionality.

I think Nintendo should have combined Wii Play and Wii Sports into one game mostly because Wii Play wasn't much of a game on it's own. They're making a Wii Motorsports, maybe that'll have online play.
