We always keep an eye out for Switch games for this exact reason. Our favorites from there are Animal Crossing and Luigi’s Mansion.

Will y'all stop making me poorer, damnit! 😉
Does Magicka support controllers?
Sure does! I actually prefer using a controller.
This is how divorces happen. Magicka is an amazing "why the hell did you do that" co-op game. Will test the mettle of your relationship as soon as you realize how easy it is to nuke your partner with an opposing spell.
Screencheet. It's the only fair combative experience.
Conflict Desert Storm, fun 4 player coop tactical third person shooter.
This game was hype AF with the boys back in the day.
if you want some chaos; unrailed, overcooked, and plateup are good
Duck Game! The downloadable internet levels are bizarre and creative. It's so much chaotic fun.
Not split screen but co-op battleblock theater is fun. Also, my very first post on lemmy!
I really like phogs. It isn't quite split-screen, but you can play it together in couch co-op.
Spelunky 2 is fun
„Human Fall Flat“ is pretty good. I’ve played it on switch with a bud and we had a good time. Especially the times we broke the level by sheer accident.
KeyWe is the newest one I've played with my wife. It's a game where you both play kiwis operating a relay station that has some quirks of its own.
Other games I would suggest:
- Overcooked
- Catastronauts
- Moving Out
- Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
- Helldivers
- Gauntlet
- Magicka
- Age of Wonders III (in hotseat mode)
If you like beat 'em ups:
- Streets of Rage 4
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge
- Scott Pilgrim vs The World
- Mother Russia Bleeds
I'm not sure if it has split-screen or split-screen mods but check out Dinkum too.
Blur, the racing game from 2010. It's like Mario kart but with realism. It's abandonware now, you'll have to pick it up from an abandonware website...
But it's REALLY FUN.
I used to drive a mobile video game theater for work and this shit was bread and butter, a bunch of screechy Roblox fans are mad their parents won't let them sit out of the party and play on their laptops? Blur and never hear from them for the rest of the party.
A couple 6 year olds who have never gamed before on anything but a phone? Tell them to hold R and get them through the menu a couple times, they're set.
Some adults who haven't gamed since n64? Oh. They down.
The gears of war franchise has the most underrated coop campaigns in my opinion. They're among my favorite games for coop. Also splinter cell: double agent, although a bit dated at this point is still super fun.
