" four specific events that will be playable online, with worldwide multiplayer promised — rather than being restricted by region. The four events are Freestyle Ski Cross, Snowboard Cross, Short Track Speed Skating 1000m and Winter Sports Champion Race. The final in that list combines multiple disciplines and mixes up the gameplay to, in the words of Iwata-san, deliver an "outrageous event". Playing against friends is an option, but playing and winning medals against players around the world adds to the points for your country, meaning you can contribute to some Wii U national pride while you're at it."

does the online make you want the game more?

are you interested in this game?

A game that "self love" types are very good at
 
Ninty's definitely focusing on connectivity between players with the Wii U. Miiverse, country/state rankings (if y'all remember, the new Wii Sports does somethin' similar). An interesting development, considerin' last generation was practically focused on keeping players from connecting.

nothing wrong national pride :p

Yes, there is. Patriotism is a source of racism, political idiocy and all sorts'a other pride-born bigotry.
 
Nationalism in the virtual world inspires nationalism in the real world if you're usin' actual real-world nations.

... Mind you, I ain't goin' all anti-Olympics or anythin'. I support Ninty creatin' this whole "country leaderboards" stuff. Even though Japan automatically wins. Competitive online warriors love their leaderboards, after all.
