Amen to that.

The thing is, if the 3DS version supported online and you owned both, you could go online with a friend and each player would have their own screen.

I'm wondering also if you can play multiplayer using the TV screen and the two GamePad controllers, such that each player gets their own screen, instead of using split screen (Though the split-screen arena mode in Tri was cool).
