| HappySqurriel said: I think that some people in the industry over-estimate the value most gamers put on online multiplayer while under-estimating the value most gamers put on local multiplayer ... Games like Wii Sports, Lego Starwars, Mario Kart, Rockband, Super Smas Bros. Brawl, and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games have done so well (in a large part) because of local multiplayer; and I suspect that local co-operative and competitive multiplayer will only boost interest in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, which would already be a massive hit if it was single player only. |
Agreed.
Hell, I'd throw in Halo and Gears Of War into that mix.
As for the commercial, I'm not quite sure what people are asking for. It's a new 2D Mario game, that's the message. What else must people know? Word of mouth can do the rest.
