Because Polygon is reporting the complete opposite.
Therefore you've got one site saying one thing, and another saying another. So somebody is wrong here.
How the fuck you going to charge people to let them play games with their friends, then not let them play with their friends and/or make it a huge hassle to do so? Like, do they have a fucking idiot making these kinds of decisions? Just how?
Thanks???
It's not a gamebreaker to everyone but thanks for repeating your sympathy for it over and over.
It was a sensible assumption, or rather one I made, even before the direct.
At the end of the reveal trailer they showed the art that would later be used on the box.
Look at the box arts:
You honestly wouldn't assume that the sequel would feature the ability to play together?
On the SWITCH of all systems? That comes packed in with two controllers?
I wish we'd celebrated that fact here rather than on DIscord so I could quote myself.
The Direct did indeed confirm that you could build courses together which I took in addition to the fact that you could play together. Otherwise why use key art and shape the game's identity solely on the fact you can build course together (but not play them)...?
It's not sensible / logical, I'm sorry.
Assuming it's true, does this mean they also only have Ranked for online multiplayer, no Casual option at all.
This seems too weird to be true, but it's Nintendo, so it makes it likely to be true as well.

Almost everything Nintendo has done this gen regarding online multiplayer has been the opposite of sensible and logical.
The thing is, with the WiiU they proofed that they can make a good service. It did have the typical Nintendo solutions, like Miiverse, but it worked for the most part. It even had a friend invite option, though that was hidden in the friendlist rather than placed in Miiverse where everything else took place. I don't get this company's doubt I ever will...
I have a bad feeling polygon just sorta automatically put that out without thinking because something so core and obvious to a game's multiplayer shouldn't have to be questioned or clarified.
Nintendo reps have been wrong before but there even being a specific reason with the leaderboard (as dumb as it may be) makes me not feel hopeful here.
I REALLY hope this is wrong as it's enough to get me from buying the game entirely.

I modified that statement for you to better capture how long this has been going on. Nintendo is such a joke when it comes to online gaming.
If this is true, man.
Its amazing that a company with such incredible and memorable IPs can be so many years behind in terms of creating and sustaining an online experience. They really need help with it.

They cared enough about the fans to add slopes, who knows if they will care about the uproar over this.
Exept for adding charging chuck or like any new enemies thst arent variations to the main 4 styles
They can always add to the game, they did it to the first one.
Funnily enough, Friend Leaderboards are something I care about.
I'm not bothered if I can't take down Xx_HackedGamerScore69_xX from the top spot on the board.
But old university friend James? Oh, would love to know if I've crushed his best time and score.
(If score isn't hacked I do want to see how high I can get up, I actually held a 2nd Fastest Time in the world on Bowser Castle in Mario Kart Wii at one point).
That is flat out unacceptable for something they're positioning as a major online title in their catalogue. No other way to describe it and I hope the media actually nuts up for once and presses Nintendo on their bullshit online.
Idgaf about leaderboards. Let me play with friends. Smash has it's own horribly handled, ranked like mode but still let's you play with friends. So does Splatoon and Arms. No excuse for this. Zero

Yikes.
Sounds like a huge blow for people who are interested in this game. I feel for you guys.

This made me chuckle. Nintendo's decisions for online stuff make no sense whatsoever.
Right, I should've phrased that better: my expectations were so low with Nintendo in that because they didn't outright announce local coop in the Direct, I assumed it wasn't coming. So I'm glad it's there, but again their track record with online multiplayer (and sometimes just plain multi) makes me think no friend play is a legit possibility.
Hope I'm wrong bc I would prefer to buy this game. Maybe they'll figure out messaging along the way.
If you really can't play with your friends, then Nintendo's entire network team for this game is woefully incompetent.
Come on dude.
Thread: here's a bummer about SMM2
Everyone: nooo that sucks
Me: my sympathies to you guys
- What for?
Me: for the aforementioned bummer
- So that makes the game suck?
Me: no I'm just giving my sympathies for the bummer
You: It's not a gamebreaker to everyone but thanks for repeating your sympathy for it over and over.
Hello Nintendo,
If I can't play with my friends via cooperate and competitive both. If yes, then you lost my purchase.
Thanks,
IntelliHeath.
It's boring to play with random players which had no personal stakes in it.

The best, though not necessarily great, scenario is if cooperative online multiplayer with friends is included, but not competitive multiplayer with friends.
Is that confirmed? Is there 2 player local co-op on the same Switch? Cause I never saw it in the MM2 direct. All I saw was co-op editing.
