Honestly I'm not surprised that SM3DW doesn't use it. It doesn't feel like it needs it, but there are plenty of other games where I felt that they missed an opportunity.
I hope they are able to utilize this feature better in their future releases :)
I can agree with this, omission does not ruin games and after all it is their own creative product, but I still feel that Nintendo's first party should take the opportunities they already have to make the overall system that much more special.
Should be interesting.
