Yeah, you're right. I wish I could see the industry from the eyes of Nintendo management. I really do... they really know their market well and know what will appeal and what they can get away with. Did anyone even complain that NSMB doesn't have online coop? If a game came out on xbox like this without online it would be banished to hell. I know that I made some noise on these forums when Punch out came out and didn't have online...but there weren't may of us. :) |
Oh, there were plenty of complaints, but as a lot of it was used as an excuse to bash Nintendo in general (like IGN did), it lost credibility.
But for those still insisting it would have helped the game, I stand by that including online would have taken more time, and they needed a big game for the holidays after the lost momentum. So perhaps the next game might, if they find a way to get around lag.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
