Super Mario 3D World Excludes Online Multiplayer

[Walker D]

You Fools!! this is what this kind of Mario games really are =

 

[Ergo]

And it's times like these where you just have to laugh at Nintendo.

I'm a Nintendo die-hard, and this makes me half-angry, half-confused, and all ******* ****ED OFF!

 

[WiiUBricker]

What the fuck is wrong with you? Mario jump'n runs don't need online multiplayer. I beat those game alone and not with people standing in my way.

 

[Gahars]

That's a real shame. Nintendo goes through all the trouble of creating an online infrastructure for the Wii U and they're not even taking advantage of it. Come on, Nintendo, lead by example here.

 

[The Catboy]

I honestly think online multiplayer ruined gaming. So this great news to me.
Plus online would suck horribly with this game.

Are you serious? How are they purposely excluding multiplayer in these games and listening to people whine about it not being there? Wake up, Nintendo. Why do I have to enjoy playing with my friends while playing in the same room on the same screen with them?

I can see mario now, dual wielding FMG9's, or camping in a dark corner somewhere waiting snipe toad from across the map. Or perhaps a Mario dungeon crawler. What exactly would an open world Mario game look like, and what would you do in it, with an online community?

Actually you can enjoy the game in the same room on two screens thanks to the Wii U gamepad.

"Let's take away the option of having online multiplayer in this game, after all, we can not have both Online and Offline multiplayer on the same game, that would be preposterous!"

Some people may be right, kinda a bummer but this actually gets you to

Step 1. Get up

Step 2. go to a friends /play with family member.

Its seems like nowadays people want multiplayer for everything. Plus a Mario game like this could at least have new power ups or levels for dlc if anything.

ITT nintendo haters "Deal breaker! no online no support! nintendo doesn't understand online! they need to lead! no infrastructure! QQ!"

everyone else: "as expected"

Well that's one way of interpreting it, but you could just as well play with someone over the internet. I've got quite a few friends that live in other countries, but are good friends. While I rarely play online multiplayer due to not having time for gaming at times, I would love to play online in a game like mario. Just like NintendoLand-type games would be fantastic with online, but just as well as offline multiplayer. Giving the option of online multiplayer isn't making local gaming any worse. Quite the opposite.

I've got quite a few Nintendo consoles and games (legit, flashcarts and such are just for the simplicity compared to carrying multiple carts), and I would like to have the option of using online. Some games really do benefit from online gaming, both on Nintendo platforms and on others too. Imagine if you still had to trade Pokémons over a link cable.. Online gaming is here and it can be done in many ways. It's not hating for wanting to get more features for a game. It's telling an opinion (though some may tell it sarcastically), which is very good in open forums like this. At least I've changed quite a few of my opinions thanks to discussions here and elsewhere.

I'd say online would have been a plus, but it's not a deal breaker for me.

you said so yourself, some games do benefit, some games don't, it's up to the devs to decide which games gets online multiplayer (mario kart 8) and which games gets local multiplayer (mario platformers) and in this case I completely agree with them.

The two friends who own a Wii U lives in a town nearby, so I think online multiplayer would definatly be something we'd want to try out.
As long as the game is good singleplayer, I probably won't care.
But seeing as this is coming from a big company as Nintendo, it really surprises me they don't care much about their online strategy.

 

[The Catboy]

Some games, right there sums up everything.
Mario games would not benefit from it though. I've played NSMW and NSMWU multiplayer, they were extremely fun, but also something that would quickly become impossible if you weren't sitting next to the people you are playing with.
This is one of those games where I can see more people complaining about online that praising if it had it.

Why's that?

 

[The Catboy]

Why's that?

Have you ever actually played them in multiplayer?
The games quickly turn into a mess with everyone attempting to do their own thing.

 

[ForteGospel]

Why's that?

because you would not be able to punch your friend in the face after they killed you on purpose for the 5th time

or yell at them to pop up the bubble when you are waiting to come back while they are running the whole level alone

I rather they focus their resources on their games that benefits from online the most than tack it on anything that has multiplayer.
