Its the little things that nitnendo sucks at.

Like you just announced a 4 player co-op 2D mario. Thats freekin amazing... until they tell us its local coop only.

http://kotaku.com/5278060/no-online-play-for-new-super-mario-bros

If I have 4 people over at my house...we are most likely watching the game or having a bbq. We are not playing the Wii. So coop is completely useless then...

Nintndo has been cutting corners like this for quite some time. They always screw the hardcore. Punch out is great throwback for old school gamers...however the wii motion controls really blow for that game and they didn't include Wii motion plus support...or online play.

Sega, not nintendo, is supporting the hardcore gamers on the Wii right now...all 5 of them.

So next time before claiming Nintendo is pleasing the hardcore, think about their hardcore offerings and what they are lacking...

lol at the use of the term "hardcore" and "casual." 

 

I've always though the main series of Mario was suited for single player (when I say main series, I don't mean the spinoffs sports games like Mario Strikers, or Mario Kart).  No, Nintendo is supporting the "hardcore," you are just nitpicking what they don't do to please your own needs.

..which what many wii haters do always no matter how polite they talk

Actually its the other way around. Its the nintendo fanboys that settle and pretend they don't need the things that nintendo doesn't bother giving them...

Funny thing is with the example of NSMB Wii they said it can all be played fully in singleplayer. 

I don't really remember getting the memo that online is a must to be core though, thanks for telling me.

If this was a 2d sinlge player Mario...it wouldn't interest me very much at all...been there done that many times.

4 player coop Mario in 2D however...this interest gamer like myself because I've never played something like this.

The thing is that Nintendo Wii only owners don't realize what online gaming means to people that are in the working world. When you are a kid in school  its fine, you can dedicate countless hours of having freinds over and enjoying the games together.

However once you are workign 9 to 5 and have other responsibilities...having a great online console is a way to keep in touch with freinds over the week.

Also, after you spend time playing human oponents in shooters or racers or any other types of competitive games, you can not go back to playing single player in competitive games. I dont even play single player campaigns in new FPS games these days.

All I am saying is that nintendo is completely ignoring gamers like myself and are offering sub par online experience which leads to other shortcomings for the console. Hence the gaming community which is used to this (gamaing sites, hardcore gamers, people that work or have other responsibilities but still enjoy competitive gaming) is goign to bash the wii until they are given experience which works with their needs.

These threads really aren't necessary as its very clear what nintendo needs to do to please those people...
