Civilization: Revolution to take it online, we squeal like little girls

News comes straight our of the Leipzig oven that Civilization Revolutions, the console port of the immaculate PC franchise, will have some features you might not expect. For one, the gameplay will not be altered for the Wii at all. So, it'll be the same game (just about, we imagine) you know and love. Also, we won't be getting the game until late in 2008.

But, the best bit of news to come out for the game is that it will utilize Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connect service, allowing players to compete online. This .. couldn't make us happier. We had to towel down our keyboard several times contructing this post, as tears of joy erupted from our face over and over again. There's even a possibility for downloadable content!

Yay! And... well, yay!

But honestly, why do we hear about all the good things coming and they're still about a year or more out. Please, for the love... is there anything besides Nintendo franchises closer than 2008? Srsly.

Pre-2008 3rd party goodness?

NiGHTS 2, Dewy's Adventure, possibly Zack and Wiki

But i definitely greet this news with joy as well, the only thing to give me more joy would be online Fire Emblem (or online Smash Bros, but i'm talking same genre)

Obviously online is amazing, but I even more so love the possibility of downloadable content. No Wii game has that yet, and it would make me soooo happy if they started that. My hopes aren't high, but maybe Brawl might utilize that, even if it comes 2008? *crosses fingers*
