Nintendo Wii | Online Play Not Available For New Super Mario Bros. Wii

October 13, 2009 – 4:14 pm



Nintendo, after revealing the New Super Mario Bros. for Nintendo Wii at their E3 2009 press conference said that online play won’t be featured in New Super Mario Bros.

The New Super Mario Bros game allows 4 players to play simultaneously which take on the role of – Mario, Luigi, and two Toads.

There are classic trappings such as coins, warp pipes, etc. which require cooperative play. The game can be played in single player mode, or two, or three, or four. When there are four players, there is a lot more stuff in the game.

One player can pickup and carry other players and vice versa. The game also has a tally at the end with bonus points, ranking, coins, etc.

Apparently, the new game won’t feature online play because the game uses up all of the Wii’s processing power and cannot do more than that, and hitting the processing limits of a console is something that all developers go all out to do.

The processing limitations are a continuous problem that developers have been trying to deal with since the 8-bit era and continue to deal with in the current times too. – Slashweb
