Do you guys know the meaning of ping? It would destroy NSMBWii online. It could be a 8-bit game and still lag due to slow ping.

I try to be up for learning new things. What specifically would be the problem?

Ping is the time required to respond to a call between the client and the server / another client. You can have the fastest connection in the world and still have very low ping, thus, when you browse a page, you see no difference from the person next to you with a 1Mbps connection.

Mario platformers require quick reflexes, thus low ping, response time. The network system is not fast enough for a game like Mario, or other split-second decision games.
