Oh well , not a deal breaker for me, will get the game still but would of loved some online multiplayer as an option ;p.

same for me, but that is what nintendo is expecting.

why spend money in online development and online servers if most/all ppl will still buy this game like sliced bread.
no point really ...

Ask that question about Mario Kart, Mario Strikers, Pokemon, and the dozens of other franchise's that went online. Again, online play can only help sales as it makes any game a more worthwhile buy due to it's increased replayability and multiplayer options. Basically it'll more people happy, like me! Super Mario Cats was a definite buy for me after playing it, but then I saw this thread and now I'm not so sure as it'll just suffer the same fate as every Mario platformer other than Sunshine, which is once I beat the game, I'll never touch it again.
