Games like Super Mario 3d World or 8 player Smash (yes, 4 player Smash is online) could have definitely done better with an online experience considering they are multiplayer games.


Smash, I can agree with, because that's the core of the franchise. However, do tell me how Super Mario 3D World would be better with an online experience? 


It's a multiplayer game

Ok, let me rephrase: why would Super Mario 3D World be better with an online experience? 


Don't know if you missed my response a few posts above, so I'll reply again.

Instead of having 4 people required to be next to each other, 4 people could play (online) co-op at the comfort of their own homes with strangers or friends. It's not something that would make or break the game, just the fact that a AAA first party top tier game like Super Mario 3d World doesn't offer it is disappointing.

Alright, HOW is that disappointing?

First of all, to clarify one thing (don't know if you even read it this way), I don't mean the game, itself, is disappointing. It has critical acclaim and Nintendo pedigry so I am not trashing the game.

The lack of an online experience is disappointing, because it seems like a logical feature for a game like this. Four people can play on 1 screen, but for some reason Nintendo didn't add the option for a person to enjoy that co-op feature online.

Say a person doesn't have people to play with around him/her, said person could go online and play some Mario co-op with either some strangers or friends that aren't local. Without the option, I am sure a good deal of people are missing out on the multiplayer aspect of this game.
