In a move that some find absolutely confounding, Michael Kelbeug, Retro's President and CEO, confirmed in a recent Q&A session with GamePro that Metroid Prime 3 would be completely devoid of multiplay.

Kelbeug: It's something we talked about early on, but we only have so many resources. We opted to devote those resources to making a better single-player experience.

While that's all well and good, I continue to question Nintendo's lack of interest in the multiplayer market, especially when titles such as Prime 3 and the new Smash Bros. could have fantastic multiplayer gameplay.
