God.. it's like some of you people don't have friends to play this with..

 

Some of us have buy lives and jobs and getting 4 friends together to play a game is impractical to put it lightly, online solves all this.

 

 

Nintendo markets to children and housewives though, so I guess they have more time spare.

True.  Not sure why people assume if you want online it means you live a sad life and don't know anyone in real life.  When I meet up with friends it's to go out or to talk and not to play games.  The lack of online means I will really only be playing this with my wife who is not going to have much time for games as she has a baby to look after.  So will be playing one player most of the time.  But if they had just included online it would have meant I could enjoy the game in 4 player each time.

Also I don't understand why people think a game with good local multiplayer or which encourages local multiplayer should not have online.  If they offered you two BMWs or 1 BMW which would you take?  Likewise if you were offered the choice of both quality local multiplayer and quality online would you take only quality local multiplayer?
