For the same reason you dont release Battlefield 4 in the state its in.


Integrity.

The Quality of the product you present to people

I mean you want them to enjoy it right?

Do you even read what you write? How is adding online multiplayer to 3D World going to destory it's integrity? It's an extra option you can easily ignore and never touch. I'm not sure why it would ruin anybody's enjoyment of the game.

That's not what I mean by "traffic". I mean people online playing matches together at the same time. Does Nintendo ever put up their online activity like Xbox Live does?

Mario Kart, Monster Hunter, kid Icarus, Mass Effect 3, Deux Ex, etc


Lol no, try again. You think ANY of those games really have more people online than Halo 2 did? I mean come on, you listed Mass Effect 3 and Deux Ex?? Besides, I'm not even sure how 3DS games got in this conversation lol doesn't this say Wii U vs Xbox?

And you think Pokemon doesnt pull in more than halo? Lmao just look at the pokebank fiasco

Monster Hunter then. DQ X, is a mmo, like WoW. I'm sure you like Xbox, but come on! 



The Wii U's online is missing some things like an out of game party chat, but overall it's really pretty good.

-The Internet browser is the best I have used on any game console. If you are stuck in a game and need to look something up you can just start the browser and then go right back to the game. Not bad if you ask me.
-Things on Netflix / Youtube load at good speeds.
-From what I have played online in Call of Duty and Madden, it works just as good as on 360.
-Miiverse is a cool feature. It's basically a big Nintendo discussion board. I don't use it alot but I also don't use Facebook and Twitter so it's not really targeted towards me.
-The eShop is set up well, and the instant streaming of game trailers is very nice. Annoying as hell on 360 to have to download the videos 1st.
- Automatic game updates are also a nice feature.
- Oh Yea.......It's free.

The overall trashing the Wii U gets is ridiculous. Every time I see people on here or where ever that actually try it out, they think it's great. Does it have PS4 graphics.....Nope, but that's not really the point of the console.

Because it'd be a glitch ridden mess with players moving all over the damn map. PLatformers are frame by frame games. Those dont work online.They're those pixel perfect types of games. Are you even aware of how online works for games? Do you know how FPS's work online? Fighters? God dammit people, educate yourselves

Play 3D World through an Xbox One and even that affects the game.

Heck some people even have problems playing 3D World locally. Online it'd be a hell fest. You need to design the phsyics in a completely different manner ala trine 2 if you want a competent online platforming game.

Isn't Pokemon a singleplayer based game. And Pokebank is for trading?

Does that make Pokemon X and Y a multiplayer game now? I mean would you put it in that category just because it has that mode?

You think 4 players playing online at the same time is going to lead to a glitch ridden mess? I could go on Planetside 2 and play with thousands on one server and you think Nintendo can't pull of 4? I think you're the one who has no idea how online works for games.
