I'm thinking they are thinking on the space. It gets crowded with just two for one small screen. (It also help in i/o reaction.)

 

As for at home. I'm guessing they didn't have time to show that since they want to showcase the "gimmick". But I'm guessing you will be able to 4-p multiplayer on the home side.

Yeah as long as it has 4 player local on TV that's fine, though I don't expect it will be any more limited when out and about.

If you are gaming you need space for playing with the controller. Think of trying to crowd four people around a smart phone, not really enough elbow room, and only allowing two clears that up. It is nice that they are allowing two per switch because usually it is only one.

I'm not saying it would be a good idea, I just don't think Nintendo will actively stop you from doing it for no reason. :P

I think it depends on the number of controls needed for the game, splatoon requires quite the number of buttons as most Shooters, 3D Mario and NBA 2k17 will need far less
