I geuss it's just me then. I only played 2-player co-op and I had some of the most fun I've ever had playing a video game. I had lots of fun and enjoyed my game. 

@radient

if you had no intention to play online, then it wouldn't bug you at all. When I initially decided to buy the game, I never once thought about online. Some people might want it, fine, I could see how that bugs them. Why would I be bugged by the lack of a feature that wouldn't affect me either way? 

Besides, I rarely, if ever, play the Wii online.

Sure, but in a game such as NSMBW, where all it takes to foil the other players' game is to give them a little extra nudge, I don't think it'd work. At least not without some sort of communication.

And with that, would no doubt come the potty-mouthed frat boys and teens hurling insults through their headsets. And that wouldn't work too well for a family-oriented game.

Alright, I'll give you 2-player co-op. That might work sometimes, if neither player is a troll, afk, or just flat-out incompetent. But when you've got 3 or 4 players trying to reach a common goal, one bad apple is all it takes to spoil the barrel.

But maybe I'm just not having enough fate in the online gamer community. (Though my online gaming experiences so far haven't been exactly given me a good impression of it.)

Wii has online?

Even if, they could fix for little things that make trolls so rampant online. It could really be great. But they just didn't try it at all, and if people just keep giving thier games 10/10 then they are almost never going to change it. And change is good most of time, a little online don't hurt. Or hell, even a level builder. Imagine what the community could do. To me it just seems like it is missing features that other platformers like LBP had day one. It doesn't have to be robust or a complete haul over, but some attempt would be great.

I would affect if you if you were to try it. The "You don't miss it if you never had it saying" applys here. But honestly, only old people who don't want to adapt to technology say that lol

I rated this game lower than just about anyone other than kyliedog... and I disagree about it needing online.

Imo this is one thing that I love about nintendo is they strive for local multiplayer while others strive more for Online.
I mean, you'd have to dock most games for not having local-multiplayer or multiplayer at all. Or whatever.

Some people want online. Some people don't. Some just wanted to play local online. Those people got what they wanted and they were satisfied and felt the game was perfect and gave it a 10/10. That's reasonable. Others didn't, so they downgraded the game because it lacked feature they wanted. That's reasonable. Nintendo can address those people and maybe add online/level editor in the next game.

Before playing a game, I have expectations and I rate the game based on how that game fullfills my expectations. NSMBWII Surpassed my expectations and then Some! It was Perfect Imo!

And I hope people are doing exactly that.
Still bugs me that NFS games seem to have forgotten about the splitscreen mode. That's an obvious flaw of the series this gen.

What? A game need online to be perfect? And this game with this kind of co-op wouldn't work with online. Maybe you need to play more of it.
