Hey Nintendo, why do your 3DS games let me compete for scores with strangers, but never with friends?
With New Super Mario Bros. 2 around the corner, I find myself looking forwards to grabbing as many coins as I can. It will be an accomplishment, this coin-mongering! It is an exceedingly score-focused game, all about seeing how well you can do, how much scratch you can accrue. And yet, I can't help but feel isolated by it—by the knowledge that any of the scores I compete against will be my own.
