Miyamoto on online/lack of online in New Super Mario Bros. Wii

“We have made games like Smash Bros. and Mario Kart, so we do have an interest in going online. With this kind of Mario game we wanted to focus on the living room experience. We could have made an online Mario game, but the effort and resources you devote to putting it online will result in sacrificing something else. This type of experience is better suited for the face to face, in the same room experience. Of course, in the future there’s the possibility of exploring remote connectivity in a Mario game.”

Miyamoto on why New Super Mario Bros. Wii didn’t end up on WiiWare…
