We have completed a significant site update. Come see what's new!
Confirmed: You can't play Super Mario Maker 2's online with your friends - limited to randoms only (see threadmark)
- Thread starter Mushroomer25
- Start date
Even freaking SPLATOON 2 has several ways to play with a few friends online.
I have friends I like to play with and they leave far away. I wanted the game before seeing this confirmation, now it lost 9/10 of its value basically.
Yeah it's the same game... but I can't enjoy any of it with my friends, only create, let them play alone and vice versa. Pretty unappealing compared to enjoying any level with them and create together.
Surprised to see surprised people.

It's not that no-one is qualified to make that at Nintendo, it's that Nintendo themselves simply choose not to do it for some reason. This is incompetence at the managerial level.
Did someone at Nintendo get hit really hard in the head or something? This is beyond stupid.
This mode may as well not exist now.

You:
I'm one of those freaks who doesn't have any friends
;_;
Me, an intellectual:

I never play a game on easy mode, should we then take away easy mode so certain people can't enjoy the game, too?
No, no. I didn't realise it would read like that.
This obviously sucks for people who wanna play with friends.
No worries!
It's just frustrating that Nintendo does these weird, dumbass things. I'm not a huge Nintendo fan but I would've played this with my niece who has a switch.
Are Japanese Nintendo fans reacting negatively?? To me that’s more important if fans in Japan are negative
Because that makes sense. Look at who/what you're dealing with here. Nintendo is basically my stubborn grandpa refusing to learn Facebook.
Sega won't let me play a new Phantasy Star because I live in the wrong country; that night be shittier.
You don’t have to play multiplayer courses, then it would be the same as Mario maker 1
Speak for yourself me and my friend actually wanted to play together now we're just not gonna bother and use the money on something else. Nintendo Online is basically a Tetris 99 sub at this point.
Making stuff up ? Nintendo is miles behind other devs regarding the post launch support of their games , including listening to feedback from users and adding requested features.
Well, you're either making stuff up, or you're terribly misinformed. Nintendo has been pretty consistent overall in continuing to update its games with additional content and QoL features. ARMS received a bunch of updates, including frequently requested additions and fixes that they hadn't originally planned. Splatoon as an IP has been built around the consistent update philosophy. Hell even Mario Tennis Aces is still getting updated even if people aren't paying it much attention. The original Super Mario Maker on the Wii U got a ton of updates including requested course parts and other things I can't recall top of mind. Even Tetris 99, a NSO freebie, is getting new modes and QoL fixes. Them taking this heat and putting together friend play online for SMM2 is not so unreasonable and would fall in line with the update strategy of a lot of their other big titles. So yeah your depiction of their post-launch support for their games is a mischaracterization, at least in the past 3-4 years.
But the point is I want to play multiplayer with friends but this is something Nintendo can't do. It's either local with friends or online with strangers.
Going by Nintendo’s wording it sounds like that will be updated in the future, and if doesn’t happen I’m still going to enjoy it, it’s better than Mario maker 1 either way
? They can be successful in multiple areas while completely dropping the ball in others
Yep! Not surprising this is Nintendo. No matter how good they are doing at something they find a way to fuck it up. Like every time.
Halo 2 on OG Xbox has far superior online functionality to any Nintendo game.
Nintendo EAD games get tons of support post-launch. Botw, Mk8dx, Mario odyssey, splatoon 2, etc...
And Mario Maker 2 happens to be developed by Nintendo EAD.
Oh if only you could find a way to play with randoms even if the option to play with friends was there. Oh wait! It's totally possible and doesn't affect you!
"I dig it". Fucking LOL.
100%. Buying this game (and subbing to their shitty service) just tells Nintendo to keep doing what their doing.
Me, I'm not going to spend too much time playing solo levels, my most hype feature was online multiplayer coz I would create levels for 4 and with jokes only for my friends.
What's next?
Will Animal Crossing not allow me to visit my friends' towns? Only randoms?
What's it going to take for Nintendo to actually think about the online functionality in their games from a different perspective?

Man, that's so wack. I originally wasn't going to buy the game, then I was going to buy due to MP with friends. Obviously I assumed wrong. I'm just glad I didn't pre-order it already.
I mean, you could say you should have expected this, but with them charging for online I really thought they would actually try now...

Yes. It’s not even debatable, you said Nintendo do not update/patch their games which is complete fabrication.
Nowadays their games are getting dozens of updates, you couldn’t choose a worse hill to die on mate.
