Artistic vision is the difference. Miyamoto had an idea of how he wanted the game to be experienced. That idea did not translate into online gameplay so it was never included. I can understand being disapointed, and I can understand still wanting it. Calling them lazy is either ignorant, or intentionally hostile though. Sticking to your design ideals is not lazy. It is just an artist getting caught up in his work. Edit: Just to be clear I would like to state I am not objecting to your desire for online play in NSMBWii. I am objecting to the claim it was done because they were lazy. Everyone has the right to bitch about whatever they like so long as they are bitching for the right reasons. |
Well, I'd really like to argue with your logic, but I won't. It was Miyamoto's decision and not made for 'lazy' reasons. However, I'll still call it inconsiderant and it just come off as feeling 'lazy'.
