[QUOTE="SunsetFelid, post: 10236655, member: 668488"] "The Most Notable" is not the majority. (also, why is Smash not considered a fighting game?) There's a pretty large swathe of 3rd party games that require you have more than one console to play together, and it's not even entirely the Switch's fault: This is a problem on XBOX as well (PS4/PS5 also but PlayStations I feel cater more to the single-player market than any other console). The games I'm complaining about are mostly 3rd party multi-platform titles. And I have seen families, couples, gay polycules of 6 people, make sure everyone in the household has their own Switch. (and in some cases, their own XBOX One. Like I said, this isn't [I]just[/I] a Nintendo issue.) [LIST] [*]My girlfriend and I have 3 between the two of us, only one of them is a collectible and that was happenstance, its my primary Switch and the first I got. The other two are my girlfriend's primary console and a hacked one for hacking. And yeah, we play Splatoon 3 and Pokemon primarily when we play together. Most of the games you listed would not keep my attention or have their own issues that make them not as fun for us to play. [*] The household we were renting from had 3, 2 Lites (which [I]count[/I], they're still Switches and still 200$ a pop and [I]not[/I] a solution to the issue) and one dockable Switch. [*] My girlfriend's ex came from a house of about 5 people, all of whom had their own Switch, Lite or Normal or OLED. [*]My friend who can't afford a Switch for every kid is still saving up to get one all to himself, because his kids keep fucking with his save data (a different issue). [/LIST] Then there's collectors and Youtubers who buy one of every color and whatnot. Again, its not a problem with [I]just[/I] the Switch, but the Switch was and continues to be cheap enough and noteworthy enough in design that I think it benefitted the most from this weird issue of games being designed perhaps with the PC in mind first, while being ported to consoles without much in the way of Couch Co-op (Or Counter-OP!). Also some games have been coming out with kind of lackluster multiplayer options, I would have liked the co-op in Pikmin 4 to be more like the co-op in Pikmin 3 for example, but that's also a different issue. Finally, in regards to [B]Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles[/B], while it's true that the old version of the game used GBAs as screens, the GBAs only held map and menu data, you were still bound to the same large screen as far as movement, and the data for the characters was in the Gamecube's memory card then too. It was a weird gatekeepy gimmick then, but at least back then, you could progress together, your Caravan was whole. In the remaster, if you play online and are not the host, you get loot, sure, but you're not progressing your caravan. Its like power-leveling through helping others. And that means having to do every dungeon twice. Its inelegant when they could have just lifted the restriction and added couch co-op.
