Well when things slow down it usually means the consoles ram is being used up too much, that could be the fault of poor development but we've seen more impressive things push Wii well beyond the limit of NSMB Wii. Wii is a lot more powerful than people are giving it credit for here.
I'm aware of what Miyamoto said. If you honestly believe everything that the top people at Nintendo say that's not good. It's PR, he can't say we're not putting it online because we're lazy or because we don't care. You really think the Wii couldn't run this game online? The Wii is a very capable online console, in the hands of the right developer it can do much more than this online. In the hands of Nintendo it already has. It's a shame third parties crap all over this console because it tends to lower expectations. Something like Monster Hunter uses a lot more of the Wii's power than something like NSMB Wii.
