Super Mario 3D World (Wii U)

ITT: Hero tilts at nonexistent windmills.

Is beating up on strawmen really that fun, that you enjoy devoting multiple posts to it?

Nope, I just spend enough time all over dumb gaming sites and their comments/forums to know that yes, this attitude is A Thing.

but at least give people the option to play online.

Yeah - I prefer to play with people in the same room, but more options are better. I wonder how latency in a platformer would work. I've never played a platformer online (if there are any), nor can think of any that would require a level of coordination/timing that the best multi-player platformers use.

There are no good MP platformers.

My favorite one was N+, but that's because it is single screen.

In other news, I am most excited for this game over the majority of the next gen games because it doesn't run like dog shit. Seriously, I got NFS Rivals and it made me so mad because it runs crap. People are smoking something fierce if they think that is acceptable.

Co-op 'Splosion Man was really fun, but you absolutely have to play with someone in the same room, without input lag, who doesn't suck.

I played through all NSMB Wii 2 players and it was a lot of fun. I'm hoping to co-op NSMBU and 3D World with Geen =D

My only gaming IRL bud isn't big on platformers. Perhaps I should force him. "Forget Assassin's Creed IV, COME PLAY MARIOS WITH MEEEEE!!!!"

The kids are getting together on Saturday night, the wives are supervising. That means it's gonna be WSUP DADS CLUB MARIO BROS.

My only IRL gaming buddy in San Francisco is my girlfriend, the rest of my friends couldn't give a flying fuck about games. And while it's nice to have a girlfriend willing to play games with me, it's also the worst because she's horrible at games and has the attention span of a 6 year old. But at least she's excited to play the Marios!

Sounds kinda like my ex...except she would yell at get f'real pissed if I accidentally bumped her or got too far ahead...but then would say it's my fault for being slow when she was doing the same exact things to me.

This game sold me on Wii U

Sonic 2 was great as a MP platformer, especially in non-splitscreen mode.
Player two can be terrible and still play because Tails never runs out of lives, so it was perfect to play with my nephew when he was little.
