Nintendo has always been conservative, but what really surprises me and it shouldn't is that Nintendo programmers aren't all that good. I'm not say they are bad, just not good as say Team Ninaj, HVS, Retro, Factor 5....
Over the years (especially since N64) if you examine Nintendos games you won't find hardware pushers. You will find works of art(WW, TP) and extremely fun games(Mario series). But in recollection nothing that wows me on power.
This statement in this context seems to indicate a conservative programmers design rather than a creative process for more. Other companies will show that multi player would be doable on this type of game eventually.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
