Because it is an anti gaming industry decision and that's what made the Wii so popular in the first place. But the main reason is that Nintendo probably didn't have enough time to implement online play, test it and release the game this holiday season. And since third party support can't carry the Wii as we have seen quite clearly this year, Nintendo didn't have much of a choice.

Nintendo has "The most powerful developers", I still find no valid excuse.

I love Nintendo as much as the next guy, but I refuse to excuse them for everything they do.

Even the most talented developers need time to make a great game. Nintendo doesn't have the philosophy to release an unfinished game and patch it later, so they left a time consuming part out of NSMB Wii to get the game out in time. And what actually is in the game is absolutely great from everything I've read so far.

You may not think that it is a valid excuse that they had to rebuild the momentum for the Wii, but that doesn't mean that it isn't a good reason why the game doesn't have online functionality.

To you it may not like a valid excuse, but as a gamer I don't care about their momentum, and most of all I don't use their sales as an excuse for why I didn't get a specific feature that would have worked great in this game.

The game is absolutely great though, you are right. As gamers though, we should always expect the best possible experience. No accepting excuses from companies who don't care about me, you or anyone else in this thread, just how much they can pack their wallets.

 

As for your response to Xxain. At least with Sackboy you can edit his appearance and give him an identity instead of nothing more than a color change. You should see my Ganon sackboy. NES Ganon by the way.
