REAL. As a kid this was rhe only way I did things, its so underrated it deserves so much more recognition
XBox Live killed split screen gaming. They demonstrated that you could sell two copies of a game and get both people to pay $50/year for the privilege of playing together. >

I don't think this is unpopular,  at least not from the consumer standpoint. >

Fr? I don't really hear many discussions about splitscreen online apart from Halo. >

nintendo >

Other than Mario Kart and SSBU? Can't think about much else. What else? >

yeah thats because splitscreen is insanely taxing on hardware, so its impossible to do outside of games like that   
i bet even nintendo has problems to do it - hence we get games like it takes two where you are both on the same screen >

Yeah, Nintendo is a generation or two lower than Sony or Xbox when it comes to hardware. Kinda sad tbh. 
Xbox doesn't seem to have an issue running split screen games and I doubt PlayStation has any issues like that. >

i doubt it - remember golden eye 4 player splitscreen? shit had like 15 fps lmao - thats a nogo by todays 60fps standart >

Some of my fondest gaming memories were 4-player splitscreen, often on Goldeneye or Halo.
It's sad that TVs have gotten much bigger and consoles have gotten powerful, yet splitscreen is largely disappearing.  We huddled around a 27" to play games.  How awesome would it be on a 70"? >

I miss this so much
