Generally Nintendo fans, especially those on forums will trash a third party game for not doing something while defending a Nintendo game for not doing the same thing.

If they would take the same finger they use to point at third party games and point at Nintendo they would find a lot less to complain about.

Cannot blame third parties, they see Nintendo fans buying something in mass and cheering about it, then when they release a similar featured product suddenly they find themselves blasted and being called lazy and so forth by those same fans.

Hm... let me think about this a bit. Since Rayman is already part of the topic, I remember there was a huge outcry over the lack of online play in NSMB Wii. Nintendo fans obviously defended the game, then two years later Rayman Origins released without online play. Nintendo fans didn't bash Origins for it, neither did the people who made a huge fuss about NSMB Wii's lack of online play. A quite memorable double standard, although it wasn't employed by Nintendo fans.

So what conclusion can I draw from this? Probably that double standards of forum-goers don't matter one bit in the decision-making process of third parties, thus your hypothesis can be safely put into the garbage bin.

false people did complain about lack of online in Rayman Origins, but Rayman is no Mario so of course Mario is going to ge the worst of it since he is much bigger figure and quite frankly people are going to expect more. Lack of online is probably not doing Legends any favors either.
