It sounds like your Nintendo Switch may have detected an input that suggested you wanted to play in multiplayer mode, which usually happens when you’re using the Joy-Cons in a way that the system interprets as a setup for two players. This can often occur if the controllers are separated or if the system believes an additional player is joining.
To switch back to single-player mode in handheld mode, follow these steps:
1. **Reconnect Your Joy-Con**: Make sure your Joy-Con controllers are properly attached to the Switch. If you are using them as detached controllers, try reconnecting them to the console.
2. **Check the Settings in the Game**: Look for options in the game settings that allow you to select single-player mode or switch to a mode that doesn’t require two controllers.
3. **Restart the Game**: If the game is still prompting you for two-player mode, try closing the game and restarting it while keeping the Joy-Cons attached to the system.
4. **Tab Mode**: If you want to play in tabletop mode, ensure that the Switch is placed on a flat surface and you have the Joy-Cons attached (if you're using them). You can use the kickstand on the back of the console.
5. **Updating the Game**: Make sure your game is updated to the latest version, as updates can fix bugs and issues related to controller input.
6. **Calibrate/Reset Joy-Con Settings**: If the problem persists, you may want to calibrate or reset your Joy-Con settings in the console’s system settings.
If you've tried all these steps and are still experiencing difficulties, you might consider reaching out to Nintendo support for further assistance.
