Okay, I was and am still not blindly defending Nintendo. I never said it couldn't be done. I never said it would ahve ruined the game or anything stupid like that. I would have LOVED bots. I am not making excuses for Nintendo. I am simply saying that it is harder than any of you think.
You mention all these other companies that had bots. If their games are so much better, than play them. Or is it that they do have bots, but the rest of the game is bad? Now I know PD was great, but the bots on DKR weren't. It always came down to the human players at the end.
And again, I have never said that Nintendo couldn't or shouldn't have had bots. Only that it is a difficult thing to do right, and as we all know, Nintendo won't do anything unless tehy can do it right. Maybe they thought they couldn't do a good enough job, maybe they ran out of time, maybe they had a brain cramp and thought it would ruin the game. I don't know. You guys can keep this going, but I'm gonna send all replies to /dev/null from now on because this is obviously going nowhere.
