So, is this going to be one of those stupid only-one-person-per-machine online multiplayer games, or are families (you know, the audience Nintendo is squarely aiming their products at) actually going to be able to play together? It sounds like every player needs to be playing with a gamepad, and I haven't heard anything about support for multiple pads yet.

And the ironic thing is that is coming from a company that gets slammed for supposedly not being innovative or not making new IPs. And they're showing their critics just why a statement like this is a load of crap, as if to say "Hey, there's a REASON we've been around for three decades and counting. Amateurs." It was only a few weeks ago people were turning things into a soap opera, claiming Nintendo was done for and NOW they come to remind people why doing that is a waste of time.
To be fair, they
have been floundering lately due to lack of innovation and they
haven't launched a new first-party IP since freaking
Pikmin. (I'm not counting
Wii Sports. That's not an IP; it's a tech demo.) The fact that they're able to pop their heads out once a decade and say "Hey look, a new IP" and be declared the most innovative company in the industry says some really sad things about the state of the rest of the industry.
