Best Splitscreen Switch Games
Rocket League
It can be tough explaining games to the layman, speaking in simple terms that they’ll understand. Fortunately, Rocket League is straightforward: “It’s soccer with cars.” You explain, thrusting the controller into their trembling hands, “Just drive, Nana.”
The frenetic style of a Rocket League match makes for an uproariously good time, with vehicles whizzing all over the place in a madcap attempt at securing the ball. That may seem like an excessive amount of adjectives for one sentence, but this is a game that deserves it, and if you’ve never ventured onto the pitch, do yourself a favor and rectify that ASAP.
Admittedly, the Switch version is not quite as pristine as its contemporaries, but that was to be expected, and the fact that you can play with two people in splitscreen handheld mode (presumably people with very good eyesight) is remarkable. It shines when docked, of course – allowing for four players to jump in at once, with a lot less squinting at the splitscreen, to boot.
Plus, those Mario cars are totes adorbs, and sure to make cross-platform rivals jealous.
