I want to say, first and foremost, that you know you have are a celebrity in this business when a major company makes an announcement at your convention – nice work, Penny Arcade, you guys deserve it. With that said, at Penny Arcade Expo today, Nintendo made an announcement regarding Samus’ DS game. In fact, it is so nice that it might help people accept and understand the game’s delay to early 2006. The good news is that Metroid Prime: Hunters will now feature online multiplayer via Nintendo DS’ Wi-Fi services.

To me, this is a Nintendo game that has actively evolved in response to the reactions from the community. First it completely changed its look after a somewhat disappointing premiere at E3 2004, and now they have given the fans what they want with online play. Even if this feature was planned to happen anyways and not brought about by fan response, it is still good news.
