A major coup for the Switch is that it allows up to eight units to be connected over LAN for seamless multiplayer with buddies.

While it's tremendously unlikely that you're going to find seven friends who all own Switches and are available at the same time, it's still a cool novelty to have, that you and a friend can easily play Mario Kart or Splatoon 2 together when you're out somewhere.

Most people likely only expected 2-4 Switches to be compatible, but Nintendo went truly above and beyond here.
