Contrary to earlier announcements from Nintendo that online multiplayer in the upcoming Super Mario Maker 2 would be limited to random matchmaking, Takashi Tezuka, the producer of the game has stated during a Nintendo Treehouse talk that playing with friends will indeed be an option.

Mr Tezuka confirmed that the ability to play with friends and not just random players will be coming in the form of a future update to the game.

amazing

They are listening to the backlash from fans and patching it in... nothing more.

Even so, what of it? I think it's admirable that they're able to take their audiences feedback and adapt their product based on it.
A company should always strive for the best experience for their players; they might not get it right the first time but the best ones are willing to learn and improve.

Oh dont take it as me insulting them personaly i was just making the general non no-mans sky reference to the video game industry. Its great they listened and great they fixed it but whats not great is the idea that they didnt see anything wrong with it in the first place. which could lead down many dark lines of thoughts because its like common sense really and that they "forgot/didnt add it in" could more or less be a cover for many other reasons as to why they did it in the first place. ie Drm,anti-piracy,forcing game/system updates ect. Again nothing wrong with that but just man up and say it dont bs us or play the idiot who steps up and fixes a mess they had caused on purpose.

Nintendo has finally fixed their fuckup

Instead they announced a new one. Only selected few Pokémon will be transferable to sword and shield. They are too lazy and cheap to spend the money to animate all the Pokémon. So I just cancelled my preorder from Best Buy.

Ok, how long has this game been in development and people are complaining that they couldn't get to all the Pokemon? Really?

No joke, someone is seriously underestimating how long it takes to create HD models from scratch. They could've been lazy and used the same 3DS engine from Let's Go in order to import all the models faster, but I guarantee people would've been a lot more pissed over that. It's time to move on from uniformly box-shaped buildings and narrow, linear pathways. If that means I have to wait a bit longer to see every single improved Pokemon model in gen8, so be it.

You mean they ported over all the old animations and just made them unobtainable.

Lol, quick on the backtracking after their usual stupid Nintendo way of doing things. Idiots.
Also "in a future update"
Me thinks it's never gonna happen and they're just trying to make good face now to save their asses and sells of the game

I'm b4 dataminers will find all of the pokes avaiable to use ingame with just some cheats or something when the game will get inevitably leaked.

 

[DBlaze]

But first 20 stability updates

 

[Godofcheese]

"Everybody liked that"

 

[|<roni&g]

That whole can’t play with friends thing was just to get yall talking

 

[Davidchao23]

"Ah, well then I guess the hackers have the upper hand with this situation!"

I was wrong

 

[EndlessParadox]

they almost ruined a game again

 

[the_randomizer]

Gee, hell must've frozen over

 

[viral777]

Nice, now if they could add mystery mushrooms the game would be perfect.

 

[DJPlace]

that's cool i thought nintendo was not going fix this. but the fans bicker and that shall get. hell i wish this will work for some games that came out all ready.... (looks at BB:CF)

 

[GreywormJohn]

That's pretty good news!

 

[OblivionReign]

this seems like the definition of releasing the game unfinished and then adding in the required features afterwards

Well there's nothing they can do the game has already been green lit and development is done the cartridges are already made. The only reason they did this is they weren't expecting the community to give so much hate to the idea that that wouldn't be on the game.

 

[jahrs]

If they didnt think before they made the cartridges that hey people wanna play with friends then they need a new person at the helm. its like making a game about catching em all and then not including all of them or at least a secondary method to get them. Or removing gameplay elements to make room for a pointless gimmick.

 

[Ericthegreat]

This sounds like it'll be a while, I wonder why they haven't added co op to world of light yet? (Not that they said they would, I'm just surprised they haven't)
