The Nintendo Switch is great for its library, but the best experiences are often the unexpected ones. What's one game you initially dismissed that completely surprised you with how well it worked in handheld mode or with its local multiplayer?
I initially dismissed Overcooked 2 but in handheld mode it finally clicked The screen is small but you still feel the teamwork and chaos without losing control It became one of our best co op sessions
I dismissed Snipperclips at first yet local multiplayer on Switch proved clever The two players share a single screen and the puzzles reward cooperation more than competition
I wrote off Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime but on the couch it shines The four cockpit style stations and shared screen make for tight coordinated fun
Mario Party Superstars surprised me in handheld The game is chaotic but setup is quick and the screen size is perfect for short train rides or cafe hangs
In Nintendo Switch games 2025 I ignored Unravel Two on handheld until friends insisted It works surprisingly well as a casual co op experience with a nice art style
