Lord knows I love to shred. But it appears that I won't be able to do it through the series of tubes we call "the internets" on the Wii anytime soon.

IGN reports in their latest hands-on of Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam for the Wii that Nintendo has yet to allow 3rd party developers to work with the online capabilities of the system.

Either Nintendo feels it isn't yet in shape for anyone but them to tinker with at the moment as not to let any possible inferiorities be leaked or they are just being greedy. Either way, with the release of the system seemingly around the corner it seems a bad move on their part to not have as many online-ready games as possible at launch.
