<p><em>God Nintendo is stupid for not announcing this feature during their big press conference on Tuesday.  They must really hate 2D Mario to treat it the way they have been.</em></p>
<p><em>Not really much info on the gold coin crap other than you&#8217;re supposed to collect 1 million coins for some reason or another&#8230; WHO CARES NINTENDO!  WE WANTED TO SEE THAT DAMN TWO PLAYER MODE, BUT YOU BURIED IT UNDERNEATH ALL THIS COIN CRAP!</em></p>
<p><em>Sorry about that.  Nintendo really has its head up its collective ass lately.  Who in the hell puts priority on a stupid collect-athon gimmick when a two-player mode is far more important?  Oh yeah.  A developer with &#8220;uniqueness&#8221; as its credo.</em></p>
<p><em>Well, I&#8217;ve already invested in a 3DS, so I&#8217;ll be getting NSMB 2.</em></p>
<p><em>Sigh&#8230; so many things I want to complain about, but why even put in the energy.</em></p>
<p>As hindsight of E3 2012 becomes clearer and clearer (as we pass in time), it is becoming more and more obvious that the Wii U might be fine and dandy. It is Nintendo&#8217;s marketing that is being the problem!</p>
<p>Information only is information if someone has need of it. Informing the reader that someone is crossing the street near me is not informational to that reader.</p>
<p>Nintendo could increase their communication if they concentrated on what information people wanted to know. Something like co-op may not be important to the game producer but it makes or breaks the sale of a game to most gamers.</p>
