A lot of Switch games Nintendo showed off at E3 2018 focused on multiplayer content. Should fans of Nintendo's single player experiences worry that Nintendo is moving on? According to an IGN interview with Reggie Fils-Aime, that's not the case.

"A core proposition with Nintendo Switch is the ability to be playing a game and having an experience, seeing someone looking over at what you're doing, and the ability to just pop out a controller, hand it to someone, and to jump into a multiplayer experience really is a key part of the proposition. [Multiplayer experiences are] not exclusive, so we will still have these wonderful single-player experiences like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The ability to have a multiplayer experience was a key part of the thinking for the Nintendo Switch."
