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.

BS. These are two totally different games. NSMBWii is a game DESIGNED around multiplayer, it's meant to be played with other people, in every trailer you see it being played by 4 players, hence the critique is well earned. I have Rayman Origins and never have I though about playing it online. It's a game designed around a single player experience and I wouldn't even want to play it in multiplayer mode, I highly doubt it would feel as good as it does in single player. Two different games, different expectations.

 

@Your "Nintendo standards" - LOL!! Hahahaha!! The one and only reason you think this might be true is because the Wii was such a halfassed console for its time that it didn't support patches. Do you still remember that these were exactly the same standards for Sony, MS and all 3rd parties in the PS2/GCN/Xbox/Dreamcast era and earlier? Wii U already proves you wrong if you expect that level from Nintendo to continue and just you wait and see what a mess the next Mario Kart is gonna be if the rumours about it being pushed earlier are true. Also I just can't follow you Nintendo supporters. In one post you say "Nintendo gamers are used to higher standards than what 3rd parties, Sony and MS give", while in the next one you're gonna say "most Wii U owners have other consoles". You just can't win...
