Release date or online play hint, one of these two

[Na!l]

So, Mario Strikers: CHARGED! is going to be the first Wii game with Wi-Fi online play. Release date for this game, according to gamespot.com, is Q3 2007. (Newspost here: http://nexgenwars.com/gaming_news/283/Mario-Strikers-Charged-Online-Details!)

That article has nothing to do with brawl, but I can relate this info towards Brawl in many ways.

1. This will be the first online game released for the Wii. If Brawl is going to have online play, then its release date will have to be Q3 2007 or later.

2. Brawl will be released before Q3 2007, and will not have online play.

3. Brawl will be released in USA before Q3 2007 and have online play, but will be released in the UK after Q3 2007. (Far fetched, I know. But being that this is the only resource I have on this topic, im not going to rule this out)

Thoughts?

EDIT: thanks to info provided by i8waffles612, #1 can be completely ruled out.

 

[awesome]

I thought Pokemon Battle Revolution was the first online game...

PBR is in the US, I think Strikers comes out (in Europe) a month before...

And hasn't Nintendo announced it's titles for Q1,2?

 

[Paranoid_Android]

PBR? Pabst Blue Ribbon?

I thought elebits was online....?

 

[i8waffles612]

No elebits isnt online, that already came out last year!,,, and i think pokemon is the first online game in the US (sadly..)

EDIT: YES I AM RIGHT . Pokemon is the first online game for the wii in US

Thats really good, because it rules out my prediction #1. Do we have any other info that we could consider?

EDIT: No Wii pokemon in the UK?!

I would be extrodinarily disheartended if Brawl didn't end up having online play...I doubt this will happen, but that could be worst case scenario.

We're all clamouring for new Brawl news, we never stopped to think that it could be bad! (doubt it though )

Rule out your numbers 2 and 3 as well, because there's no way Brawl will be out before Q3, or even DURING Q3. Bet on a Q4 (that is, holiday season) release.
