The portability, plus the fact that each Joy-Con can be used as an individual controller, makes it perfect for enjoyingthe best Switch multiplayer games.

There’s a strong emphasis onco-op games, and it’s certainly exemplified this ideology with the Switch. However, not all ofthe best Switch gamesare suitable for a party environment.
Party games need to be more than just multiplayer games — they need to be titles that are easy for anyone to pick up and play.

Dokapon Kingdom: Connect
If you thoughtMarioPartywas designed to ruin friendships, just wait until you giveDokapon Kingdom Connecta shot. This is a remake of the Wii title that’s just as chaotic as before. It functions a lot likeMario Party,only without minigames and an RPG battle system and story. You all will move around fighting monsters (and each other) and liberating villages to try and earn the most gold. It would spoil the fun to explain all the different ways the game and other players can interfere with that goal, but rest assured that it will never be boring. Don’t expect to beat this in a single sitting, however, because this is a very long game.
