Top 41 Nintendo Switch Games for Epic Couch Co-Op Fun

The Nintendo Switch is a fantastic console with a range of games boasting local multiplayer features, making it perfect for a game night with friends or a relaxed play session with a roommate. We’ve gathered some of our top picks for enjoyable local multiplayer experiences.

Personally, local multiplayer is my favorite way to play, especially as I’ve found myself staying in more often during the last few years. Playing with friends allows me to tackle tough games more easily since they can revive my character. Whether it’s collaboratively building a farm in Stardew Valley or creating mischief together in Untitled Goose Game, local co-op is a blast. Sure, it sometimes means getting revived just to be thrown into spikes in Spelunky 2, but I’d take that over dying solo any day!
