Why did local multiplayer die out in games...

Why did local multiplayer die out in games? You would think it'd be more common in newer games since larger TVs are more common than they were a decade ago but you rarely ever see dedicated local multiplayer modes outside of Nintendo games like Smash Bros and Mario Kart.

Hell, I got Gundam Versus in the mail today and my brother was upset that we couldn't do local 1v1s against one another.

The internet becoming more mainstream, and a shift to online culture (not even video games) with computers in general

Holy god are they playing a fucking OUYA

And they are playing some bejeweled variant, just like in a real OUYA!

They're playing Puyo Puyo

>anime girls play ouya
>THE SUDDENLY THE DOOR GETS KICKED IN BY A STRANGER
>THEY ALL GET BRUTALLY KILLED

nothin personnel

Does it at least have system link?

The ouya's a lot smaller than that

Gundam Versus? Yeah I'm pretty sure it does. Good luck getting people to bring a PS4 and a tv over to play gundam when they can just add one another on PSN and duke it out there.

people dont hang out the way they used to. they instant transmission thoughts across the net and it kills the interactivity. even in person everybody is glued to their phones.
