MTV's Totilo thinks Nintendo's done with single-player


You know that moment at the end of the thriller when the main character realizes that their best friend has been the murderer the whole time, and they start flashing back to scenes that before might have seemed random but now all start making sense? That's a little like the sensation we got reading MTV's Stephen Totilo's recent piece in which he puts forth the theory that Nintendo's in the middle of leaving single-player behind completely in favor of multiplayer experiences.

Totilo has some solid backup too, pointing at everything from Super Mario Galaxy's co-op play to Nintendo's recent group-centric advertising. "Where I'm going with all of this is the idea that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess may be a relic of a previous era," he writes. We're not sure whether to be excited or terrified.
