Gang Beasts, Virtua Racing, Crashnauts, Super Mario Strikers: Battle League. But I understand these games came out after you made this video. Thank you for this awesome video.
It makes me wonder why does neither mario party on switch support 8 players if they did it before
When it comes to Mario Party anything, you’ll constantly be asking yourself “Why didn’t they just do this?”
Although the newest one allows 2v2 combo coop online, a feature I love!
This is easily one of the best review/game recommendation videos I've found. So many hidden gems here!
Thanks! I hope you found something fun to play!
I love games with more than 2 player multiplayer & had my 4 way controller back in the day for the PS1, but I'm 48 now so the only time I'm with 7 other ppl is at funerals 😅 - great video my friend 🙂 ✌️ 👌 👍
I laughed so hard with your comment, I can relate for sure. Thanks for the fun moment.
@@emperomassinencambio...9941 your more than welcome my friend, all the very best to you 🙂✌️ 👌 👍
Starting to plan ahead for my annual Halloween Party, this list was excellent for it! Thank you so much!
Thank you for creating this! I will save your video to look back on when I have a future 8 player session! Also wanted to mention that Sega Ages Virtua Racing supports 8 players (just make sure the tv is big enough to be split into eight separate screens haha).
Nice find! Thanks! 8 split screen is kinda crazy, but good to know that it exists- Add that to the 8-player list.
Thanks! Many that I hadn't heard before. It's shockingly difficult to find which games in the nintendo store support more than 4 (and whether it's local or online play). I did notice you missed Octafight though. I haven't picked it up yet but it does support 8 local players. Cheers!
Nice! I’ll check it out
Amazing video! Thanks for the recommendations 🙂
This list is amazing! Thank you so much for putting this together!
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you so much for this list!!! It’s amazing just how hard it is to find this information… would love an update video too! ☺️
I’ve gotten that request before- working on a master list in the future for this! Thanks for watching!
You're awesome! Exactly what I needed to know for gatherings.
Great list!
thank you, I added a few games to my wishlist :)
6 player boomerang fu is the most fun you can have with your clothes off
Boomerang Fu is fantastic! I love it so much.😊
It's so good!
Amazing Video!!! Please make one similar for PS/Xbox!
I’m glad there are Switch games out there that allow groups of more than 4 players to play at once. It’s one of the reasons that make the Nintendo Switch stand out amongst its competitors.
great video. 4 new games on my wishlist. one of my favorite 8 player games is Chalo Chalo
What is Chalo Chalo and why is it your favorite?
@@obscuristgaming it’s kind of a racing game with weapons, where you need to find the shortest path to win. I like it because it’s, easy to learn but hard to master.
How can you miss Virtua Racing on this list? 8 Player Split Screen is an absolute riot!!!
There's also an 8 player Pengo multiplayer game, but it was Japanese only (and also only physical).
Good call! Thanks for sharing!
My Top 10 :
- 10th : Super Bomberman R
- 9th : Chiki-Chiki Boxy Racer
- 8th : Pico Park
- 7th : Break Are For Losers
- 6th : Knight Squad
- 5th : Runbow
- 4th : Party Golf
- 3rd : Baron Fur is Gonna Fly
- 2nd : Virtua Racing
- 1st : Super Smash Bros Ultimate
All fun games! Good list!
Alpaca ball allstars is my favourite - Amazing chaos!!
Thanks for this list! Gonna take a look at a few of these. I think the biggest and funnest 8 player game not on this list is Gang Beast. Smash Bros meets King of the Hill!
Oh cool find! I see that came out recently too. I need to check that out soon- thanks for sharing!
I know it’s late but the Moment you realize it’s local multiplayer not online multiplayer. gang beast only do 4 in local and 8 online so doesn’t count
@@kyle2375 Your reply prompted me to go try again and seems it’s no longer possible to do 8 as we had before. We have never played gang beast online. But we have played 6-8 players locally many times about a year ago when the original post was made. You can still play 6 locally, but 5/6 must be controllers (not joycons). When I try to join as # 7 with a controller, it removes one. So I’d say this is a 6 player game locally. What a disappointment. The game is still a blast, but we originally purchased the game only because it was 8 players local.
Great video, bought almost all games from it! Do u perhaps have some more recommendations after 2 years?
There are a few more out there these days- I’ll look into doing an update this winter!
Please do!@@obscuristgaming
Update
ASTRO DUEL is missing (since you included 6player also) :) would you make also 8 player 2 nintendo switch consoles (4 players each) local multiplayer? :)
Yeah once you get down to 6 players, the list starts to expand like crazy too, but just wanted to highlight a couple of my favorites there!
I’ll definitely check out Astro Duel! Thanks for sharing!
And I’ll look into it for sure, if there’s enough interest- the research on it becomes somewhat of a gargantuan task.
3:30 I am laughing so much! Just had to make the list lol
Just waiting on the commission checks 😅
I wish Duck Game could be on this list, but its 8-player update isn't on consoles yet... Ugh, it's so frustrating! My friend group loves Duck Game!
towerfall is the best multiplayer game of all time
dragon ball fighterz is fun for 3v3 tag team battles local as well
Nice! Never played it but good to know!
Ok....so excuse my ignorance but "on 8 joy cons" translates to having 4 Nintendo Switches, right? Or can you buy extra joy cons to add to one Switch console? Do I need 4 copies of the each game if they are all in the same room? Trying to figure out the specs for a library gaming program and I only personally own a xbox. Help!
Nope, 1 switch console with 1 game can support up to 12 joycons if the developers decide to. All these games are 1 console, 1 game, 6-12 joycons
@@obscuristgaming So, to clarify, I can buy 1 Nintendo Switch console (that comes with 2 joy cons), 1 copy of each of these games, and 4-10 more joy cons and play these games? (I'm so sorry I look so dumb right now haha)
@@daniellet.3560 Exactly! The only thing you need anything “extra” of are joycons!
@@obscuristgaming thank you so much 😭😭 liked and subscribed!
@@daniellet.3560 You can play too with 8 Pro controllers, joycons are not really needed.
where do you find Alpaca Ball: Allstars for the switch
I couldn’t find it ither
It’s tough to find- at the moment for North America, you need to import the game.
www.play-asia.com/search/Alpaca+ball
So the game finally got a release state side to the eShop a few days ago:
www.nintendo.com/games/detail/alpaca-ball-allstars-switch/
Can you jump in with a phone like jack in the box or need 8 controllers?
Yes, anyone with a smartphone can use it as a controller for any of the Jack Party Packs
Eight players of the Luigi mansion 3 scream park
Are they bringing scream park back in the new LG2 remake coming out soon?
It should be possible for switch in docked mode to connnect via LAN and play local multiplayer if the game supports it! Cortect?
Yes! But only a small handful of games support it- it’s way more common for switch games to have local wireless play, than a LAN mode.
@@obscuristgaming Reallly? Wich games?? Smash Bros is ok connection wise so wireless is enough! But does MK8DX support it? I hope MP4 also supports it but i gues MP4s MP will!
Yes, Mario Kart does. Here’s the full list:
www.lan-play.com/games-switch
@@obscuristgaming Thanks alot! I thought it was only possible with PS3, Xbox 360 and the originial Xbox! So i buy the lan adapter, put it in the back USB port in the dock, and connect it via Lan cable to the lan hub and off we go?? If this is really true...
PRAY FOR METROID PRIME 4 MULTIPLAYER!!!
You also forgot monopoly. I love it so much because you can just use one controller and pass it around so your don't need to buy extras.
Nice! I even have it and never crossed my mind lol.
Runbow is better on the wii u because the gamepad person can create platforms and such
Can you do Smash with 2 consoles having 4 players on each?
Yes I think so, but because of input lag, it would be easier/better just to have 8 people connect to a single Switch.
update video please
Idk if anyone else noticed... But the game Retrograde wasn't included even though it's 6 players.
