Exactly. Honestly, I can wait until Nintendo WANTS to do online play for the next SSB game. There are only two SSB games I'd like to see. The lesser one would be an arcade game, simply because fighting games and the arcade love each other. I know I'd enjoy defeating random people in person in the arcades. The one I REALLY want to see though would be a DS game. Now, SSB is something that really COULD be done in 2D anyway, via scaling, since the gameplay is 2D anyway. Considering the DS is 3D now, they could easily do that. I want to see this game done because the DS is online basically, and also portable smashing would be fun.
However, I can wait. It's no big deal to ONLY have Melee for a few years :D (well, let's face it, I have barely touched the original since the new one came out).
Mario Party is a great game, but with so MANY, well, I have a hard time justifying buying the latest version when I know a few months will pass and the next will be announced. I just keep thinking "oh, I'll just wait until the next one". For that reason, I don't own ANY of the Mario Party games :D. I would have owned the first, but by the time I got around to thinking about getting it, MP2 was out and MP3 had been announced, so it began. My standing now is that I'll wait until that very first online Mario Party game and that'll be the first I get. Yes, it'll be a while, but I am still convinced that, while not for a few years, Nintendo will eventually have to form an online plan for their console.
Eh, point is, IGN really has a habbit of making up really pointless "stories" when the news is dead.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
