MotoGP 08 for Wii production running late, no online reconfirmed

“The Wii version is running late production wise and it will not ship at the end of next month with the other SKUs. There are some improvements from the PS2, in particular the control mechanisms with the Wiimote, but It is true that there is no online play.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development

I don’t really see how the lack of online play in the Wii version can be defended here. Both the PS3 and 360 versions of MotoGP 08 obviously have the feature included, with the only other console joining the no-online party is the PS2. To add insult to injury, MotoGP 08 for Wii isn’t even shipping in line with the other versions of the game. What’s a Wii owner to do?!
