I mainly play games by myself. I don't really play multiplayer games all that often but I'll jump in and play a little once every few months or so but that is it for me. My point is that multiplayer games don't really appeal to me unless they are something in addition to a solid SP game.
I gotta say, as a life long nintendo fan I am really dissapointed that Nintendo didn't announce more SP games during their direct. There were 12 games shown; 7 or which were MP focused. Of the remaining 5 games; 3 were JRPGs, 1 was a new mech game and then there was Hollow Knight (A great game, but a game that I have already finished on the PC). It really seems to me that unless you love MP or JRPGS there was very little to get excited about in this direct. Where was Pikmin or Metroid?
The multiplayer games themselves looks great. Smash looks amazing if you are a fan of the series and Mario Party looks like the game that fans have been asking for, so on that front I feel that Nintendo are really hitting the mark. But I am starting to feel that Nintendo have decided that the system will be mainly as a MP device from now, and that is fine, but as someone who plays a lot of SP games there was very little shown during the direct to get me excited as a Switch owner.
