That doesn't mean I shouldn't say this is basic stuff that should be in the game at the start.
Who says I can't do both, be happy and still hold Nintendo say Ninendo is dumb for even think it should just be added later.

I'm not trying to persuade you otherwise. Of course you can, I don't care. Go nuts.
they made a mistake by not adding it, they're now confirming that it's coming via a free update. there's not much to be mad about here.
Who said I am?
At most I'm saying it's dumb.
Ask the other people quote me.
okay we get it. you can stop now
it's coming to the game. be happy
It's unbelievable that they didn't realize this was an essential feature before the entire internet told them. But good that they're fixing it.
I maintain that not having it at launch doesn't mean they weren't already planning on it. Mario Maker 1 changed a lot between initial release and its last updates.
Wouldn't be surprise if it's added as part of the first update, they won't want to make people wait too long for this feature.
Game company makes a mistake: "Hold then over the fire!"

Man, it's a wonder devs interact with the community at all.
Thank fuck for that.
Seriously the dumbest thing they have done in a while and never should have been an update or patch.
As soon as "multiplayer" was part of the game "online multiplayer with friends" should have been done immediately after.

Don't misrepresent my post. I very much praise Nintendo for listening to the critique on this one without having to do something as silly as voting with your wallet. Saying that and also saying "it should've been there in the first place" are not mutually exclusive statements.
Lol at all the "surprised they listened". If you payed attention to MM1's updates you'd know the MM team is far and away the team most receptive to public feedback at Nintendo.
ok, that was funny, she was so into the reel that didn't even heard what he said
It's a buy for me when the feature is in the game, not before. Two copies.
Hopefully sooner than later in the launch window.

It should be, but I wouldn't be surprised if it misses the first update. This is Nintendo and it should have been there to begin with! lol
It just boggles my mind. I'm glad Nintendo is fixing it so that means I can purchase it but...
...if Nintendo does something mind boggling dumb, Nintendo fans hit social media to complain until Nintendo acknowledges the problem... that's a good thing.
Meanwhile, if a game comes out on Steam, is hampered with either faulty DRM implementation, a patch that breaks the game, or a port that you can tell was made on a $5 budget from a high end publisher, people voice their opinions on social media and by reviewing the game...all of a sudden, it's "review bombing" and portrayed as negative.
They're treating online multiplayer as a selling point. You see that and you naturally expect that you'll be able to play with your friends. Like others have said, it should've been there day one.
In any case, I'm really glad they're updating the game to include the option. It's what I'm most looking forward to in the game.

Making mistakes is okay, if you are open to listen and change them.
Missing the feature to play online with friends is still very weird. I remember the Wii and DS era, where Nintendo didn't wanted you to play with strangers. I believe, they were running out of development time and just said to release the game without the feature and add it later. I guess, they were surprised about the big negative reaction and playing Online at all would be enough to make people happy long enough. They guessed wrong.

Normal response: "Oh, glad they're fixing that. The product I eventually play will be very good."
Some people here: "Don't let Nintendo off the hook! This isn't about products, it's about entities and blame! Blame is too important to forget!"
Not quite that hysterical, but that's the sentiment. Who cares about blame? The product you play will be great at some point soon.

Yeah for sure! Nintendo is basically pulling from the Trump playbook of creating a problem, then fixing the problem you made and then expecting people to praise you for fixing it.
Most folks know that it's bullshit so I'm a little surprised that some here are acting like we should be grateful to Nintendo.
A given that's much sweeter when you read the confirmation : D.
Eh.
Most non-Nintendo AAA games seem to ship in unplayable states, requiring patches out of the gate, and people put up with that.
