Why is Peach not in this game?
Miyamoto: "Originally, I thought it would be nice if we could have Princess Peach in there as a playable character," he said through a translator, "but in fact, the Toad characters have a physical that's a little bit closer to Mario and Luigi. In particular, if we had one character ou of the four that wore a dress, we would have to have special processing and programming to handle how the skirt is handled within the gameplay."
Translation: "We were lazy and didn't feel like putting anymore effort than absolutly necessary into making the game better."
And no online is expected but still disappointing as heck.
I will still have fun with this game on my friends modded wii.
