Is there a technical reason why modern consoles can't support more than 4 controllers?

There shouldn't be

But who am I to say

:tifathink:

But I'm sure there are more than 4 bluetooth frequencies

They used the power of waking too much and lost 2 slots in the process

You could use 8 on the ps3

And wii

"I see this as an absolute Wiin"

I guess with the company-imposed slow death of local multiplayer there hasn't been much reason to get more than four controllers working on a single console

I was gonna meme this but I'm too tired to

Understandable

It's really annoying how people act against their interests

It's not that split screen isn't viable anymore it's that companies don't want to, for some reason, put in effort to please gamers

Nintendo is awful for this as well now

There's no infrared on the switch

What would you use infrared for again

Pointer controls?

@Estoria#4001 ir was used for local co op

Even on the 2006 og DS

Oh, I see

But you can use LAN, can't you

Overcooked is a really fun Co op game

You need lan cables and adapters

There's no wireless way to play locally any more

This is gonna firetruck up pokemon irl tournaments sooooo bad

Literally the only game in recent memory that supports 4 players is Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled

There may be more but that's the only one I remember

Wrc?

I could swear there was wireless multiplayer for the Switch, TIL I suppose

Wrc 7 I think

No there's not any and that foookin sucks
