Sega's Nobuya Ohashi, poducer of Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, explained why the new title doesn't feature online support.
"We've done the research through online questionnaires and focus testing to see the demand for online multiplayer," he said, "and we actually found out that there's not much demand for online multiplayer from the fans of this series."
"At the same time, not many people have the infrastructure or the facility that's required for online multiplayer so that's one thing. The other thing is some of the events are quite short. An event like the 100 metres only lasts ten seconds or 20 seconds maximum so would you really go through all the trouble of connecting with your friends on the other side of the world for ten or 20 seconds?"
I can understand not having online mutliplayer since those events are quite short, but what about online leaderboards?
