Watching and playing are not the same as the latter generally requires more effort and focus. I only say generally though because it depends on the game, but for something like Splatoon I definitely don't want a bunch of other things going on around it.

Back in the days we were playing Goldeneye in 4-player split-screen on a 14" CRT and it was a friggin' blast, one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I have in mind. Now we have bloody huge 60" TVs everywhere and splitscreen gaming is pretty much dead. Why? Sure, on a 6" tablet it's a little over the top, but why are there so few splitscreen games these days? I don't get it. And I like it that Nintendo goes more into that direction. |
I'm guessing because the games either can't run in splitscreen or run too terribly. Just look at Mario Kart 8, with 3-4 players the game drops to 30fps and the graphics are worsened, so splitscreen is definitely more taxing. They probably figure it's easier to only have an online mode.
