Confirmed: You can't play Super Mario Maker 2's online with your friends - limited to randoms only (see threadmark)

Clearly must be too challenging for the devs at Nintendo.
(This is a joke, I'm not doing the whole 'lazy dev' thing.)
I was joking 😂
Japanese developers took a absurdly long time to embrace the Internet on console games and even today many of them do it weirdly e.g. Cspcom and monster hunter world
Can you play online while doing local co op from 1 switch or do you have to download the levels from online then play them offline co op?
Why would anyone buy their garbage ass online service when they clearly don't give a shit about their customer's experience? Talk about the most bare minimum effort put forth by Nintendo. They seriously just don't give a damn.

I hope Nintendo receives enough backlash they will actually change it.
Throughout the recent years, Nintendo has made online decisions which range from questionable (Splatoon stage-rotation) to egregious (Voice-Chat through mobile App).
I would definitely put this absence of friend lobbies in Mario Maker in the egregious category.

Because you have to in order to share levels and play levels made by other people.
It sucks but it's not really a mystery why people will be paying for NSO.

Welp, that's a step backwards and will hold back the game.

It's a pretty dumb omission.
But is it really big enough to skip out a game.
Just don't rank the online multiplayer with friends. Call it cooperative multiplayer, even if it still ranks all the players within that one match 1st-4th.
Yea me too, though I am always a bit lost on where the most relevant place to send my complaints would even be. Complaining about Nintendo products always feels a bit like shouting into a void considering how often Nintendo has already had lots complaints when it comes to their online features and they still have yet to really address many of them.
How does online play work when you do co op multiplayer from 1 switch? You download levels then play them offline or can both play online from 1 switch?

It's kind of funny actually. You can't even send invites to people on your friend's list anyway. Why would a game support playing online with friends when the network itself doesn't even allow you to invite your friends to the game to begin with?
It's just jaw dropping when considering just how ancient Nintendo's online infrastructure is.

Well no it will lose customers period, but I dare say in the grand scheme that won't matter all that much.
Nintendo getting fitted for larger clown shoes today.
You should probably edit that word out of your post.
Yeah, not even close.
It's stupid but it's also fixable on their end and the solution should be relatively easy, assuming they listen to the fanbase.
yup I expect a post launch fix, thats assuming the US office has enough pull to get them to do it.
It's one of my biggest gripes since the Switch was first announced. No basic online functionality within the console itself in 2017 and now 2019 is terrible baffling. For Smash I have to use external methods to play with friends, whereas on PSN I'd send a quick message and that'd be it (because not all the people I play with are people I have on social networks or Discord), hell I can send an invite directly and wait to see if they come or not. On Switch though? Nope, can't.
The downplaying begins. It's a very stupid decision, as are the things I explained above. It being fixable with a hypothetical post-release patch doesn't mean we shouldn't give Nintendo shit for this.
