Really stupid on both Nintendo's and Capcom's part. Stop the pirates from going online! If they get hooked with the single player, they'll be forced to fork out the money to go online >_>

 

Sony tried this last gen with DNAS authentication. At first it prevented people with copied games from going online, until a workaround was found and used by pirates. The problem with piecemeal online systems (like the PS2 and Wii) is that there is no centralized system that can be used to stop pirates. Any measure taken by Nintendo or Capcom would merely be a bandaid for what is a fundamentally flawed online system.
