Super Mario Maker 2: “You can play online, but not with friends”

It’s been three and a half years since Super Mario Maker was released, and it’s still a quite popular game on the Nintendo Switch. And if you buy the Switch, you get the game for
free (according to Wuffer). But I just don’t see myself buying it anytime soon, as the damn thing is still $300.
Been wanting one since Wuffer and I were dating, and he showed me Dashie’s rage plays of the game. Started binge watching them here and there since a few weeks ago, which makes me more and more want this thing.

Anyway, now there’s a Super Mario Maker 2 coming out (which looks like it’s based from New Super Mario Bros Wii U), is supposed to have multiplayer. However, it’s now confirmed by Nintendo that you will not be playing with your friends; randoms only.
Their reasoning behind this, “with global leaderboards, the matchmaking for cooperative play would be compromised if you play with friends.”
In other words, they fucked up Multiplayer (again).
