No. It's not a conspiracy to grab all the money from the people of the world; It's the only way to do it.
I don't have money yet to buy Switch to every one in house hold either, but I am able to play it with my friends at least.
And I love it. It is better game this way.
I would already let split screen die in all 3D games, including Mario Kart, if I could have wireless play instead. In fact, I would even prefer wireless mode in 2D games if I could have my own screen and thus be able to move indepentently, to get down from the pipes in New Mario for example, without having to drag every one with me.
Multiplayer in 2D Marios were crowded because everyone had to fit in one screen, and if some one had to rush forward, everyone had to immediately follow even if they weren't ready. Even New Mario would immensely benefit from local wireless mode, and could create new gameplay mechanics, puzzles, and game modes, if players just could move freely by having their own screens. And the game just feels more exciting, when your own screen gives you independency and some privacy.
This is something, that I expected from Wii U, but it didn't quite have the horse power, and the rare exceptions, mostly Lego games, that had this, suffered from slow downs. In Switches case the problem is solved, because each player naturally have their own processors and gpus.
There are plenty of games for single console couch gaming, but only very few for wireless play. Please: keep 'em coming, even if you have to let split screen go.
And there will be new models down the line. I wouldn't be surprised, if they released a screenless, TV only console for, say, $199.
Your mates obviously buy their own consoles, and because Switch is easy to take with, you can have multiplayer games, where each player can have their own screens. A big and long waited step up from split screen in console gaming fot me.
I hope every FPS would scrap the split screen and use wireless mode instead. There are other consoles for split screen, but this is Switches killer feature to me.
Blue Shell would serve its purpose better, if it was slightly easier to dodge, but travelled on surface of the road and would have a possibility to hit any player in its path.
Currently it doesn't help last players staying in the competition. It only helps the second player win the race.
Absolutely NO port for Smash and Mario Maker. These need new games really fast!
If they could some how come up with passable stylus solution, I would LOVE to see new Art Academy, and even buy a port, but I doubt there is a practical stylus solution.
I missed Tokio Mirage Story and Paper Mario, and would like play them on a Switch.
What!?!?! What a stunning surprise!!!! The first is one of my favorite games!!!! Suddenly I got so impatient, that it hurts.
Yeah, the Heist was refreshing concept and fantastic game, but digging never gets old, and the first one left huge urge to dig some more. Hopefully this is longer game. I dug the first one in couple of sessions.
I liked this presentation a lot generally, but considering the success and the resulting diversity of the library of the Wii U, they should have secured at least ONE FPS game for the big presentation.
I am very excited of the Joy Cons though.
Just one game too few(and "you'll see it later" is not good enough after Wii U; we cannot be certain about anything. They should try harder and show games now as well as later)

Re: Rogue Trooper Redux to Arrive on Switch Alongside Other Console Versions
Wireless co-op and gyro aiming would make me very happy trooper.
Re: Review: Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy (3DS)
I would have paid the full price for the 3d.
Re: L.A. Noire On Switch Will Run At 1080p When Docked, 720p In Handheld Mode
Thank you SO MUCH for the gyro support!
Re: DOOM Will Be 720p When Docked, And Unsurprisingly There's No 'Motion' Aiming
No gyro aiming is the Deal breaker.
Re: First Impressions: Hell in a Handbasket - DOOM on Nintendo Switch
If I could choose between 60fps and gyro aiming, I would rather have gyro aiming.
But if there’s neither...
But gyro and wireless local multiplayer would make this the superior version for me.
Re: Review: Thimbleweed Park (Switch eShop)
I just hope, and pray, that they would make an update for adding pointer controls very soon!
Re: First Impressions: Hell in a Handbasket - DOOM on Nintendo Switch
All I want to hear, that it has gyro aiming.
Re: Review: Thimbleweed Park (Switch eShop)
So no gyro pointer?
Touch screen support is AMAZING, but I wanted to play this on tv, and I will not touch poin&click games with analog sticks.
Re: Picross S Is Headed To Nintendo Switch Later This Month
Add a puzzle editor it god damnit!
Re: Square Enix Still Investigating The Possibility Of A Full Final Fantasy XV Experience On Switch
Give me full FFXV or no FFXV at all.
And more importantly, start making FF6 and Chrono Trigger remakes with Octopath traveller engine, if they are not coming already.
Re: Switch Version Of Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap Sold More Than All The Other Versions Combined
There certainly is a lot of money on the Switch table. Surprisingly many businesses are willing to just leave it there.
Re: Review: Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition (Switch)
The co-op with one player controlling the Murphy was SUPER FUN!
You could make it work on Switch with wireless multiplayer, where other players play on Switch connected to the tv while Murphy plays on other Switch.
Re: Resident Evil Revelations 1 & 2 Are Bringing the Horror to Switch on 28th November
Yesss! I skipped the Wii U version because I was waiting for gyro update.
It sure took its time, but finally it's coming and it took the sequel to go with it! Yey!!!
If it even had a local wireless co-op, I would buy many copies at high price.
Re: Dragon: Marked for Death is the Next Game From Inti Creates - Exclusive on Switch
I hope there is local wireless multiplayer mode a well.
Re: Soapbox: Seriously Nintendo, It's Time For A Switch Joy-Con With A Proper D-Pad
These are the best buttons in a while, and the best d-pad as well.
Re: Review: Sonic Mania (Switch eShop)
The split screen is pretty crowded. I hope, that wireless multi player would become more common option for Switch.
Re: Thimbleweed Park is Pointing (and Clicking?) Towards a September Release on Switch
I wonder, does it have gyro "aiming" for the cursor?
Of course, the touch screen is very much appreciated.
Re: Thimbleweed Park is Pointing (and Clicking?) Towards a September Release on Switch
This is my most wanted game.
Re: Review: Ironcast (Switch eShop)
Aaa! I was just reminiscing about Puzzle Quest!
And touchscreen? Yes! I'm going in!
Re: INVERSUS Deluxe to Bring Fast-Paced Action to the Switch in Autumn / Fall
This looks AMAZING!!!!
Re: Sonic Mania's Competition Mode Brings Back Splitscreen Memories
Just give me the wireless multiplayer for every game! For me it is the Switches best feature.
Re: Resident Evil Revelations 1 & 2 Are Coming To Switch Later This Year
If the Rev2 has wireless co-op(in addition to gyro), I will buy many copies at high price!!!
Re: Resident Evil Revelations 1 & 2 Are Coming To Switch Later This Year
Yeah, I hope this is not another test.
I don't think there will be that many people, who are interested on Revelations and didn't buy them when they were new.
But gyro aiming would make me downright pumped.
Re: Resident Evil Revelations 1 & 2 Are Coming To Switch Later This Year
Please let there be gyro aiming option!!!!
I didin't buy it for Wii U because I waited for gyro aiming update.
Re: Ultra Street Fighter II Was A "Smash Hit" On Switch, Says Capcom
Imagine the money they would have made, if they made something good for Switch.
Re: Video: Let's Discuss 5 Ways Nintendo Could Improve the Switch Online App
Second screen for maps and inventory.
I don't care if the screen gets off or not.
Re: Talking Point: Splatoon 2's Salmon Run Shows Off the Switch's Local Multiplayer Strengths
@bolt05
I mean, it's not possible to cram everything in every game, there just is not time to do everything.
I am glad, that I can get at least one game with wireless mode, and I hope we start seeing more.
It has to start somewhere.
Re: Talking Point: Splatoon 2's Salmon Run Shows Off the Switch's Local Multiplayer Strengths
@bolt05
I am all for options as well. o/
But new things must start somewhere, and most oftenly it is not possible to cram everything in.
I don't only want new games, I want new kinds of games. Can you blame my kids for wanting new kinds of games?

Re: Talking Point: Splatoon 2's Salmon Run Shows Off the Switch's Local Multiplayer Strengths
@bolt05
Yes! After playing in PC lan parties, the split screen felt like a consolation mode to me anyway, and it ruined FPS and 3rd person games.
If making split screen mode eats any developer resources, I would rather have more downloadable hats.
For me, this is higher level local multiplayer, more like a lan party, but a lot more convenient.
Finally!!! I have waited this for decades, and now its true!!! Hahaaa! o/
Die split screen!!!

No no no!

Re: Video: First Rogue Trooper Redux Gameplay Footage Touches Down On Nu-Earth
I only hope it will have gyro aiming.
And multi Switch multiplayer (for some privacy).
Re: Cave Story+ to Introduce Local Co-Op on Nintendo Switch, More Info Coming
Co op!!!! 8)
I'll buy it at high price!
Make it wifi while at it. Having own screens for each player would be Switches killer feature.
Re: Poll: Do You Think Call Of Duty: WWII Will Come To Switch, And Would You Want It If It Did?
I would buy it for gyro controls and LAN multiplayer.
Re: Payday 2 Announced For Nintendo Switch
I hope there is gyro option!
Re: Poll: What Wii U Ports Would You Like to Play on Nintendo Switch?
Absolutely NO port for Smash and Mario Maker. These need new games really fast!
If they could some how come up with passable stylus solution, I would LOVE to see new Art Academy, and even buy a port, but I doubt there is a practical stylus solution.
I missed Tokio Mirage Story and Paper Mario, and would like play them on a Switch.
Fatal Frame Wii U Needs another chance!
Re: A New Patch Is Live for Lego City Undercover
Does it have LAN multiplayer?
Multiplayer with each player having their own screen would be a killer feature in Switch, and it should be in every Switch game.

Re: Ubisoft Wants Your Input On Future Nintendo Switch Software Support

Re: Amazon UK Offers Nintendo Switch Downloads, Cost More Than Boxed Equivalents
If I buy Switch for my kids, do I have to buy eShop games for each of our consoles separately.
Re: Soapbox: The Switch Presentation Was Good, but Not Perfect
The accessories are expensive, but thats typical for accessories from any 1st party manufacturer.
If the Joycons were made by Apple, they would sell for $50 á piece.
Re: Soapbox: The Switch Presentation Was Good, but Not Perfect
I liked this presentation a lot generally, but considering the success and the resulting diversity of the library of the Wii U, they should have secured at least ONE FPS game for the big presentation.
I am very excited of the Joy Cons though.

Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Thinks You Should Give Star Fox Zero Another Try
@Snow-Dust I am not a kid and I too enjoyed the new Star Fox tremendosly.
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Thinks You Should Give Star Fox Zero Another Try
I agree with Miyamoto and have tested it on many children as well.
They are amazed by it and instinctively play it very well.
And not surprisingly, when some of them wanted to see old Star Foxes, they were VERY frustrated with the rigidness of the last gen controls.
