I was watching the new Donkey Kong Bananza clip published on Nintendo Today and I've noticed you can play with a single Joy-Con. That means it'll have split screen multiplayer? Is already known? In Nintendo website there's no mention yet.

Or maybe it means you can play with a single JoyCon?

Maybe, but what's the point?

Why would this indicate multiplayer?

It's Donkey Kong. You need like a joystick and one button for the game. You could play it on an atari joystick

The whole point of "share the joy" is to play multiplayer with a friend. Why bother to develop and adapt the game to be playable with a single Joy-Con if you can't share it with a friend and play together? And why a mental stable person should play a game with a single Joy-Con if he can use two of them together?

I'd say it's likely to have some kind of "buddy" multiplayer like all Nintendo's platformers recently, where a second person has some limited control of the partner character (in this case, the purple rock guy) and helps / assists the main player character in some way. But not likely any kind of real split screen multiplayer.
