Hey Fediverse, what split-screen games do you guys play? There's a ton of "100 best couch-sloth co-op split-screen Nintendo Switch games in 2023 that will make your head explode!" articles/blogspam out there in the Googleverse, but it's more helpful to me if I can get feedback from people who actually play these games. Like, all the Switch gamers out there with similar preferences, what do you guys play?

For me and my wife, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the gold standard. I dunno if anything can top it. I think we're looking for a game that is split-screen, easy to pick up, has easy controls, and leans towards the casual gaming side. It doesn't necessarily have to be co-op, so PVE is definitely welcome (think Grand Prix mode in Mario Kart). And I guess I should mention split-screen isn't a requirement either if it's co-op and super fun. I remember liking some of the old Lego Star Wars games back in the day, but over the years my wife's opinion on the franchise has gone from "Meh" to "Ugh" (thanks a lot, TLJ!), so any game with a "long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away" setting is not gonna do it.

I made a post similar to this several years ago on a platform whose name starts with "R" and ends with "eddit" but didn't get too many good suggestions, so I'm hoping time, a different platform, and an overall friendlier posting environment will aid in my quest to find a Mario Kart equivalent for our household. What do y'all play? I'm all ears.
