of thouse, both mario kart and smash are complete games without online, and animal crossing's updates are free and don't require online either.

only splatoon i'd consider truely online dependant, and doesn't it come with 12 months of online?

Smash and Mario Kart are very dull without multiplayer, their selling point is competition even if on friendly matches. In the past it used to be local coop, but social relationships changed over the time and nowadays kids and teens are more likely to play online with their friends

For Animal Crossing I can imagine playing without online but would be a far worse experience. It's a social interaction game, look how the franchise popularity exploded after pandemic, people were using this game as a way to socialize

Funny, Splatoon is, among those, the only one who I think could really work as a solo game, even if somewhat smaller

I'm sure it's just a matter of time before Nintendo release a full single player Splatoon spin off. But yeah, online is the bread and butter for this one. And I think those 12 months online were offered only before Nintendo Switch online was released

Smash online, seems pointless, the matchmakeing is crazy. It seems so random. Half the time you run into people trolling (this is comeing from someone who is bad at smash). Its just a bad fighter imo. Fighters are ment to be 1on1 and competitive, Smash is more like a random clusterf***.  Actually think Smash is more of like a friend casual fighter (local multiplayer), when you have a few friends over or something, its not great as a competitive game (or online).

I 100% agree with Mario Kart online though. Thats where the game shines, online races.

Splatoon online is the main draw right? I know there was issues with cheaters, but thats common in alot of online games.
