Nothing beats gathering your friends on the couch for a proper game night. The Nintendo Switch is arguably the best console ever made for local multiplayer, and we’ve rounded up the ten best games to play when you’ve got company.
1. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
The undisputed king of couch multiplayer. With the Booster Course Pass adding 48 new tracks, there’s never been more content in a Mario Kart game. Supports up to 4 players locally, and the smart steering option means even non-gamers can have fun.
2. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
With 89 fighters and over 100 stages, Smash Ultimate is the ultimate party fighter. The skill ceiling is high enough for competitive players but accessible enough for button mashers to have a blast.
3. Overcooked! All You Can Eat
Want to test your friendships? This chaotic cooking sim will have you screaming at each other in the best way possible. Brilliantly designed levels that require genuine teamwork.
4. Mario Party Superstars
Classic Mario Party boards and minigames, refined and polished for the Switch. This is the best Mario Party has been in years. Just be prepared for some friendship-ending moments with the bonus stars.
5. Nintendo Switch Sports
The spiritual successor to Wii Sports delivers. Bowling, tennis, soccer, volleyball, badminton, and chambara are all great fun, especially with motion controls. A perfect game for getting non-gamers involved.
The remaining five — Snipperclips, Clubhouse Games, Super Mario 3D World, Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe, and Splatoon 3’s Tableturf Battle — are all equally worth your time. Check our full catalog to pick up any of these titles.
