This covers the number of players for online play (1-4), local wireless play (1-4) and then one simply noting the &#8220;number of players&#8221; (1-4) \u2013 which is presumably the number of people who can play the game on a single system.<\/p>\n<p>It seems even more likely when this eShop page is compared to the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/splatoon_2\">Splatoon 2<\/a><\/strong> listing, referencing one to four players for online and local wireless play, and catering to just one player on a single Switch. If you&#8217;re still not convinced, there was a segment during the latest Direct presentation, where you can see Mario and Luigi moving through clear pipes together. Noticeably the screen keeps both players in the frame and there&#8217;s no edit button in the shot \u2013 suggesting this is more than a building test.<\/p>\n<p><em>Do you think we&#8217;ll be able to create and play with others on the same Switch when Super Mario Maker 2 arrives next month?
