Ok great, I was really hoping they didn't leave that out. Thanks for the confirmation. It's still sad to see it not included for online multiplayer, but at least I'll be able to do couch co-op with my SO.

Is it restricted somehow? I assume anyone can do anything and go anywhere during multiple Switches co-op, but everyone would stay inside the same space during same-system co-op.
We have gameplay of it, basically just works like NSMB while sharing the same console
Tell that to the community who see their levels deleted and fun item interactions consistently patched out.
Haven't played NSMB other than the DS version and I've yet to watch the video (Can't right now because I'm at work), but I'll make sure to check it out later when I get home. Thanks.
Cool.
Hey John, you want to do us a solid and reach out to Nintendo re: this? You're one of the biggest (primarily) Nintendo channels on YouTube. If anyone can get a quick answer it's you guys.
Right but you can't do that with anyone, it's not limited to friends vs randoms
I dunno, that doesn't even make sense and that would be the opposite of what Nintendo usually does, makes it far easier to play with friends (still annoying in some games) than to play with randoms.
I tried reaching out earlier but looks like they're leaving me hanging!
Event staff? LOL
If you've ever been to any of these game events, you'd know they don't exactly know much about the product they're promoting. Sounds crazy, but it's true.

You would think with that voice, everyone would be subservient to you.
It was actually a Treehouse employee, I have no idea why a random tweet from someone who wasn't at the event is a threadmark but this tweet the author made almost 3 hours ago isn't
I am surprised the original article doesn't say Treehouse staff instead of Nintendo rep though
Pretty much this. It would give more legitimacy to their article if the source is Nintendo Treehouse (still could be a misunderstanding though).
All of Nintendo top brass were against it during the GC era. It's one of those things that Iwata resisted until they were completely behind the competition, famously saying that customers didn't want it, and that industry interest was falling off. Probably just comes down to Nintendo being a very financially conservative company and wanting to so things as cheaply as they can.
It's still "unconfirmed" but there was something eating away at me about the Direct that they never specifically mentioned that you could play online with friends. I mean, I was hoping it was such a basic feature that it should be a given but it's Nintendo, the same company that refuses to give Mario Party a real online mode (not that bullshit from SMP) despite fans asking for it around a decade now
Nintendo gets ZERO benefit of the doubt. If this was a Treehouse employee then that's good enough.
Pissed off Dark Cloud is more interesting than regular Dark Cloud.
I blame the article for not making that clear in the first place, to be honest.
Remove D(ostumes)&D(ultiplayer with friends) from Super Mario Maker 2!
Y'all don't want to see me fully evolved.
I'd be upset if I had friends.
In all seriousness though, I hope Nintendo gets their stuff together with their online features someday...

Well that's cool, and they should stay, but still, there has to be a way to have both leaderboards AND online multiplayer!
If true, this is two level ahead compared to previous stupid Nintendo decisions pretty sure we can change this
Yes, we are know subscribers to their online-service, so they totally should listen or at least give a good explanation (even so i dought, that there is one).
People would at least be happy to create a room and play with friends alone. You can create rooms locally through WiFi ... So where is the problem here?
Just to confirm, this means two or more people on the same Switch in TV mode, right?
Fantastic if true.
There's even an app for networking with friends that only works with the paid online service, so what's the point of paying for the subscription and downloading the app, if I can't use it on their flagship releases that feature online multiplayer with rando's?
