I was actually going to post a really glowing comment about how that sounded really cool. I stand by this, actually - I'm always a big fan of innovation and tweaks to the formula in multi-player and this sounded like a really cool way to mix almost RTS with FPS, and a dose of CoD zombies thrown in.

And then I read "No online play for this mode". I mean come on. There's nothing wrong with couch gaming - I love spending time on Mario Kart or Timesplitters with my gaming friends, but they're not always here. Online gaming is always here, and it's a method we use to keep in touch as everyone moves on with their lives. Quite disappointed with that, although I'm sure I'll still buy it at some point once I get my Wii-U.

exactly that is the point. i often read peoples opinion saying "i meet my friends when i wish to play a videogame with them" or something like that but that is simply not possible anymore if you are an adult out of school. when i was in school over ten years ago i had no problem meeting with friends in freetime to play with them these games because all the friends were in the same school or lived few streets further. nowadays most friends left the city to work or study anywhere, those wo still live close to me have own families and a hard job. you can always call a friend and say "come let's play few rounds online" at evening even if he has a wife, but you can't just say "you have to work tomorrow right?  we have 10pm come to me and let us play together on a couch, we are 30 years and who cares about your wife and bla" lol

online gaming still let me interact with my friends even if i don't see them for months, that is just great and nothing less and much  better than just talking with them on the phone.

Wow, I actually started getting really interested in this game until I read the no online part. The lack of any kind of online mode will really hold a game like this back, and it does nothing to calm fears that many gamers have like myself that Nintendo's online network just won't be as robust as say XBL or even PSN.

And if there's no online co-op or multiplayer in any of the big Nintendo launch titles like Nintendo Land or NSMBU, then Nintendo might as well just throw in the towel now with the hardcore or even semi-casual gamers, because the only thing it would show is that they still don't get it.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Well they did say that it wouldn't have online for this multiplayer mode. There's still a chance that it could have some other kind of online, right?

I dont care very much about the online aspect tbh
i would like devs to focus on single player experience

I completely agree with everything you just said.  Seems like you're in exactly the same situation as me, and countless other people I would imagine :P

I just don't see why they'd make a multiplayer mode and then limit it to local play only in this day and age.
