Nintendo needs to create more online experiences. Super Mario 3D World should have been the introduction of an online co-op adventure title from Nintendo. But as Iwata pointed out, he doesn't understand the trends of Western gaming at the moment. He is catering to a Japanese crowd primarily, where the culture is vastly different with compact living. The fact that the Mario Kart, Smash Bros. and Pokemon games, (that all have both online and offline functionality), are among their best selling core titles cannot be a coincidence. It's about pushing titles as far as they go. They should push both local and online multiplayer in their games. Local is unfortunately becoming a lost art, and Nintendo should keep pushing to keep it around, but they also need to cater to a Western lifestyle where local co-op is just not feasible.
