The Nintendo Switch's adaptability makes it a versatile gaming platform. While not the most powerful console, its flexibility extends beyond its hybrid design. The Switch boasts a vast library encompassing nearly every genre, with many titles featuring online multiplayer or local co-op. Even with the resurgence of online gaming, the appeal of couch co-op remains strong.

However, navigating the Switch's extensive (and sometimes cluttered) eShop can be challenging. This article highlights the best couch co-op Switch games to streamline your search.

Updated January 13, 2025 by Mark Sammut: While not brand new releases, 2025 begins with some excellent additions to the Switch's local co-op offerings. Donkey Kong Country Returns HD (January 16th) and Tales of Graces f Remastered (January 17th) are both strong contenders, enjoyable solo or with friends. Tales of Graces f is praised for its combat system, while Donkey Kong Country Returns is a classic platformer.

For those less interested in these titles, a noteworthy October 2024 port is detailed below.
