Its far from delusional to say that Nintendo should do like they used to do and always go the extra mile in making their games. Quite the opposite, in fact... OB1 is too harsh about it but in general he is right that Nintendo is slipping.
Oh, and to convince us of anything you'll actually need a decent reason why they left it out. I doubt that you'll come up with anything better than "well they didn't think it was that important"... because saying "it was too hard" is absurd given how many times this has been done before. The only sane explanation is that they didn't want it there... I mean, sure, games are tough to make and features get dropped all the time, but this is Nintendo. It isn't some average third-party developer. It is Nintendo. And we always used to be able to expect only the best from them. They just seem to be struggling in the last few years, can't think of a better way to put it... they're still one of the best, but can anyone look at their games from the last couple of years and say that they are on a quality par with the ones from before that (especially on the details and 'little extras')?
No, Nintendo just didn't care about it... they make all kinds of bizarre decisions. I guess they think that because we all have three friends who live next door we will never need such absurd things like "bots" or "online multiplay" to satisfy the 1% of their fans without such things...
It's really strange how Nintendo seems to be trying its best to get its hardcore fans go switch to other consoles.
