I am the biggest Nintendo fan there is but as big a fan as I am I have been really pissed off the way some on this site have defended and excuse every move Nintendo has made. It is not about them not caring about certain features it is about them just accepting anything Nintendo does. Mario Kart is probably the best online experience this gen (at least certainly on the Wii) which is a big part of its ridiculously high sales but the way I have heard lack of online and other features so excused I am sure if Mario Kart did not have online people would be shouting about how it is and has always been a game for local multiplayer and it doesn't need online. |
If I were wrong you wouldn't see NSMBWii shattering sales records, nor would the Wii be doing the same for the month of December. This is not hypothetical. This is a real market that quite clearly exists.
You MK example is weak though. I love the series. I have invested hundreds of hours into it. I have never taken MKWii online. I never will take MKWii online. If its online capability was magically eliminated tomorrow there would be no effect on my opinion of it. The game I play will be absolutely identical. Your values are not universal. When you get that then you can see why Nintendo is not being lazy, or doing the bare minimum. They are catering to their largest audience. Tough times for you if that doesn't if you aren't completely content with what they are offering. I am. You are welcome to be unhappy that they aren't pandering directly to you with every game, but the bottom line says the investment isn't a necessity if it doesn't fir a game well.
