I really do wonder if Nintendo go too far with trying to balance everything and keep it kid friend. This game is great, thoroughly enjoying it so far but im starting to see some "could of been" awesome things in the game that really fail to reach their potential.
For instance:
- Why are Mii's not allowed online with randoms? Was it really so hard to make an option for people that said "Play with mii's / Play without" when selecting a menu? I get that they wanna protect the kiddies from rude mii faces but the excuse about having copyright issues is ridiculous. Is the legal world really that petty? Or are Nintendo just making excuses to cover up how stupid the decision to not allow mii's on random was?
- Carrying on the trend of not allowing things online with randoms, No option to play with custom movesets online? Really? This is a huge sin and has killed what could of been huge replayability potential for the game.
I just feel this is a good game but could of easily been a great game if Nintendo had the balls to actually put the options in the customers hands and not make the call themselfs. Give us options to play the way we want to play, dont limit our fun just to protect a bunch of kids. You see warnings on other consoles informing the player about how the online portion is not covered by the single player rating and give us the option to continue or not. Why couldnt they just do that?
