If there's one thing the 3DS (and Nintendo in general) is lacking, it's great online connectivity. They're trying to alleviate this with SpotPass and such, but that's no replacement for a lack of a widely-utilized online multiplayer infrastructure. We know they admitted they'd never catch up to Xbox Live, but that's no reason not to try and offer something standardized, at least.
I've read about some of the online features in Heroes of Ruin (like the voice chat) and think it's a great idea to have that sort of thing on the 3DS... But, eh, I'd much rather have it on a game that's fun and original. The demo, unfortunately, just went to prove that it's probably not going to be either of them.
I'm not going to pay for a game if I don't think it'll be continually fun to play, regardless of how much I like the various ancillary features that aren't pertinent to gameplay.
