Party Games and Co-Op
As gaming has evolved, developers have tried to find more and more ways to provide people with ways to play together. Co-op and multiplayer games have grown tremendously in popularity, not to mention party games that can get multiple people in on the fun. No one has done more for party games and co-op with some hugely influential titles over the years.
The Mario Kart series alone has become one of the best party games you can possibly play, and generated a whole new genre of the kart racer. Countless companies have tried to use Mario Kart’s formula over the years, with titles like Crash Team Racing, Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing, LittleBigPlanet Karting and many others. This is just one series too, and Nintendo has crafted many other party games like the wildly popular Super Smash. Bros, Wii Sports, and Mario Party, to name a few. Whether you’re playing co-op in New Super Mario Bros. or blasting other players in Splatoon, Nintendo has consistently proven that they can find fun ways to get people playing together, and others have followed suit.
