Chimera-gui posted:To be fair, multiplayer on handheld systems and home consoles for that matter was a crapshoot until the implementation of connecting the system to the internet and online mode unless you were in a situation where multiple people could play together. Sure didn't help that Nintendo was a generation backwards for internet connectivity. Needing friend codes to play anything? A different friend code for the system AND the game? When they switched to Nintendo ID they finally were on the same level as the other developers. Don't need to trade codes to play with a friend, just play with your friend who is registered as a friend for your account. That being said, Mario Party Advance has been the only Mario Party game I have enjoyed playing alone. The rest are too boring to play solo.

Multiplayer has changed from same room multiplayer to online multiplayer. Nintendo will likely still make local multiplayer games on their consoles. It's different for the handhelds. Nintendo goes towards families on their systems. The Wii U in fact was a great product. Sure, you had to have the tablet controller. A family who got it probably had a Wii in the first place, so could just grab their Wii remotes to play the games multiplayer. They didn't need to go out and buy a bunch of new controllers in order to play a multiplayer game on the Wii U. Or if someone was using the TV if the game supported off-tv play, someone could continue playing their game without hogging the TV. Of course these days a kid probably has a TV in their room, but if you had the Wii U hooked up to the family TV for multiplayer you didn't need to drag the system to the other room to play. Technically with some games you could play multiplayer using only the tablet screen (and controller, of course). The ones on the top of my head are New Super Mario Bros Wii U and Super Mario 3D World.
