But that same Treehouse stream revealed another tidbit thatprobably should have been shownin the official trailer andon the Nintendo eShop listing: online play. Putting it very plainly in the stream, a Nintendo rep notes that “there is online gameplay,” with more info coming in the future, with general multiplayer support for “four players.” These statements were made separately, but there is confirmation of online play in some form regardless.
