Hot take: a game shouldn't be considered fully verified unless it can be played offline. It's a bloody handheld, I want to play on it while traveling!
Does the Switch have any exclusively-online games? That's a genuine question that I'm interested in for comparison purposes.
I think it's a load of shit that any single-player experience requires an internet connection. I still know people with shoddy enough connections that they can't play games like Diablo 4 on their desktop pc. However, I don't think that it should disqualify a game from being Verified.
That's a question that occurred to me during this discussion too. Please ping me if you'd get an answer. I'm not a Nintendo person, so I'm not sure where to even start researching that.
Kingdom hearts cloud version for the switch comes to mind, however considering "Cloud Version" is literally in the name I feel like you should expect it to need online.
