    EA Slices Off PlayGround's Online Manhood

    CHOPCHOP.jpgEA Playground? I'm not very excited. Now that I have news the game won't support wi-fi play on either the Wii or DS? Less excited. From a GameDaily preview of the game:


    Performing well in these [mini] games earns the player stickers that can be used to create a picture book that can be shared with friends. However, they'll need to see them in person, as the game doesn't support online play/emailing, a shame, considering the possibilities. Even worse, EA won't support the DS' Wi-Fi connection, a puzzling decision seeing as how Nintendo delivered online functionality for its hand held. Because of that, DS owners must rely on AdHoc to see their collections.

    Strange decision, that. I remember Animal Crossing on the 'Cube had a similar offline sharing feature. That was used by nobody. And that was before our greedy, expecting little selves took online play for granted. Do try harder next time, EA.
