It's weird seeing the gaming discourse of the week revolving around the apparent "death" of single-player video games, when Super Mario Odyssey is just around the corner.
Cultured Vultures: Put on your freshest dungarees and chow down on the ripest mushroom as we reel off the best Mario games ever made to celebrate Mar10 Day.
My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.
The Nintendo Switch has been an undeniable success for Nintendo, but which games make the best selling chart for the console?
Nintendo made out like bandits with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It's the same game that was on the WiiU except they added 2 item boxes like in double dash.
this is why i always say that Nintendo will always be fine. look at those numbers lol
and those are all first party games.

Who said single player games were dying in the first place?
They arent dying. I will add though that had the new mario have been two players Id have a switch already. Theres not alot of two player games me and my girl play and mario is the one we play the most.
Even if single-player games are dying (which I take no stance on), one upcoming game hardly disproves a trend. Besides, anyone seriously making this argument would almost certainly be arguing it in terms of PS4/Xbox One, not the Switch.
Look at the games that came before Super Mario Odyssey. Plenty before Mario, plenty after. Single payer games aren't going anywhere.
"IF" this is true regarding single player, the day that happens is the day I stop moving forward with gaming and stick to the classics. I refuse to enter a console gen with multiplayer only; so a game can go at any time and we as gamers have nothing to show but a smaller bank account.
