The only multiplayer available will be on Battle.net.

IncGamers also got a clarification from Blizzard, shortly after the interview, saying the choice of excluding a LAN feature “is because of the planned technology to be incorporated into Battle.net,” a topic they will reveal more about at a later date.

The original StarCraft gained popularity largely because of the easy LAN mode, used on massive LANs like Dreamhack or small personal networks between friends, so this is a surprising move by Blizzard.

Personally, I’m really surprised by the news. What year are we already in, Mr Blizzard? Multiplayer LAN capability has always been an out-of-the-box feature and I can assure you that any game who dares goes into the market without it is just asking for failure.

Look for the American version of the Nintendo DSi to hit retailers on April 5th. The MSRP has been set at US$169.99, so the Canadian price will probably get pretty close to C$200. There are lots of new features such as a wider screen, emotion lens, built in camera and photo editor and looks promising to give some serious competition towards Sony PSP.
