This information comes from Producer Matt Prior…

“Currently, we only have local head-to-head play, but server-based online is certainly something we would be looking at in the future.”

I’m not sure what the deal is here. EA’s press release announcement said that the game would support Nintendo’s Wi-Fi Connection. So… what changed?

This information comes from Nobuya Ohashi…

“We’ve done the research through online questionnaires and focus testing to see the demand for online multiplayer and we actually found out that there’s not much demand for online multiplayer from the fans of this series. At the same time, not many people have the infrastructure or the facility that’s required for online multiplayer so that’s one thing. The other thing is some of the events are quite short. An event like the 100 metres only lasts ten seconds or 20 seconds maximum so would you really go through all the trouble of connecting with your friends on the other side of the world for ten or 20 seconds?”

I don’t think a ton of hardcore gamers are purchasing the Mario and Sonic Olympic titles, so perhaps Ohashi does have a point. On the bright side, the game will have online leaderboards.

Remember the GameStop release lists we posted about a week ago? It said that Sonic Generations was coming to the 3DS, even though SEGA had not announced a separate version for the handheld. The company still hasn’t announced anything officially, but it’s interesting to see that Sonic Generations is listed for Nintendo’s portable on their latest earnings report.

So, were GameStop and SEGA’s own earnings report simple mistakes? Or is Sonic Generations really coming to the 3DS? Hopefully SEGA will clarify things soon…
