Dude don't get me too hyped here, I need you to be really sure about this haha. Tacking "Confirmed!" on the end reminds me of Trump. I need that hard proof!

8 player Mario Kart between 2 Switches would be expensive but at least within possibility.

Linked earlier in this thread. It breaks down exactly how many people can play which way.

So, hypothetically, a Mario Chase (from Nintendoland) wouldn't work on the Switch without a second unit, correct?

I have two questions...

1. Some have said Bomberman can be played 8 players on one console. How is this possible? Is there no limit to Bluetooth connection?

2. Is it possible to do 8 player Mario kart with two switches having both of them split into four? And if yes then is this possible even without two TVs? Can any combination be possible for example 6 players with 3 switches, 8 players with 7 switches etc? Thanks!

IIRC the limit for bluetooth periphials connected at the same time is 7 or 8 for most consoles. PS3 could do 7ish I think? Correct me if I'm wrong here..

2. No idea, but I don't think the system makes a difference between tablet mode and handheld mode. That's why you have to press either ZL/R on the side of the joycons or normally, so the system knows how you're using it. So I can't imagine that it will be a difference if you connect 2 pro controllers in tablet mode or use 2 joy con halfes. Or use the joycon connected or split with only 1 person.

Data sheets aren't infallible, and pretty vague on details, so I'm being cautious in getting excited.

It would be cool if MK8 supported 8 players on 2 Switches

Or 12 players on 3 Switch's/Switches/Switchs.

Pretty sure this is a clear cut from previous generations. And it's better this way if it means that we won't have conflicting messages for controllers and every controller works for every game.

It was the worst for the Wii U, I hated that whole situation.

It could still happen since even though the Switch Pro Controller has gyro and HD rumble it might not work with games like ARMS.

It does, ARMS has a motionless mode.

I assume local multiplayer works in docked mode aka lan gaming on big screen tvs. That would be cool.
