Suppose you’ve never played Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or Mario Kart 8 on the Switch. In that case, you may have never realized the console is capable of doing couch multiplayer with eight controllers at a time, far more than any of the other major consoles on the market. Now, there aren’t too many games that support that. You can use it for one of the Jackbox titles, but you should also perhaps look at the beat-em-up TMNT: Shredders Revenge, which can support up to six players, or Towerfall: Ascension, which can do the same.

It can also support your old Gamecube controllers, though you’ll need an extra peripheral. All in all, you should be able to handle a huge group of people on the console at once.
