the dlc part is just completely illogical, IRL people wouldn't clamor for DLC and Nintendo wouldn't take away the online. IRL the service is supposed to get better and better, but you apparently think that fans are the reason that nintendo is doing this? Apparently the fans control Nintendo, right? Which is why everyone is completely satisfied with the Wii right now. It boggles my mind that with so much money coming in, they can be making so many mistakes. But then again, with such a rabid fanbase, why put more money into the system when people will accept and defend cost cutting measures?

This reply makes no sense. It is based illogic and a lack of reading comprehension (or selective reading).
No one said anything about the fans "controlling" Nintendo. Nice strawman, now watch your argument blow away in the wind.
Moaning about "cost cutting" assumes that the game was online based from the start and that Nintendo cut the feature to save money. This is factually incorrect. The game simply doesn't have online because it wasn't designed for it. If Nintendo wanted it to be online, it would have been. They've done it in SSB, Mario Kart, hell even Excitebike for Wiiware has it. This is not a developmen or a money issue because they have no qualms making their games online. So this was clearly a design choice.
This is why all the bitching is moronic. Now wanting online play isn't wrong at all. Throwing a tantrum on the internet is. We've known it wasn't online for months. I assumed people would have gotten over this once the game came out but IGN's silly review proves otherwise. I don't really think people are so dense but to scream about something that actually isn't that important in the long wrong. Going off of Craig Harris' words, this looks like another fanboy crusade but using no online in NSMBW as a platform.
