The game is made by Koei. It's even published by them in Japan.

But yeah this is totally Nintendo's fault.

When a large number of games on your system come out lacking the functionality, it is your fault.  Nintendo can go back to these companies and say "we want you to include online co-op" and even provide a little extra incentive if they need to.  They aren't doing so, as is evident by the lack of online options.

Yeah, Nintendo should pay developers to include functionality people seem to think should be standard. That makes perfect business sense! Next Nintendo should start "incentivizing" devs to include multiplayer modes, or single player modes. On top of the fact that they're already incentivizing devs by letting them use their IP or outright funding their games.

"In terms of the players involved from Nintendo, it’s mostly just me [Aonuma]. Nintendo’s role is actually more of an advisory role, so the development is completely up to Tecmo Koei."

Clearly this is all Nintendo's doing.
