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.

Stephen Totilo has officially lost his marbles. This is absurd. No way Nintendo would completely and utterly ditch the single-plater experience. That's their strong point for one, and two they're barely doing the online right as it is. Nentendo, Microsoft, Sony, any of them would have to be insane to be exclusively online. This makes me not respect this journalist at all making absurd theories like this. This makes me think he just can't think of anything worthy to wright about so he's just making crackpot theories.
