Hi guys!

Soon I'll be traveling and visiting family. I'd like to be able to hook my Steam Deck to their TV and let their kids have a rip at couch multiplayer games allowing up to 4 simultaneous players. The good ole classic WiiU Mario Kart is there and been played until exhaustion by now, so I'd be happy if I had more titles (either SD-compatible or just plain emulated) at the ready if they wanted to try.

Thanks!

Streets of Rage 4

Edit: just saw that this is for playing with kids so maybe not a great one for that, sorry! I've had a blast with it playing with friends though.

One of my favorite in-person MP games of all time is Towerfall Ascension. My family and I used to spend so much time laughing out loud while playing that game. So many ridiculous trick shots with all the power ups. I haven't tried it on Steam Deck, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work, assuming you can get multiple controllers connected.

A lesser known multiplayer game that's less co-op and more competitive fun is ultimate chicken horse. It's a super silly game where everyone compete platform style to reach the end of a stage, but each round everyone places another trap. It can get pretty funny pretty quick!

Recommend using the in game cheat to unlock all stages so there's more variety right away

I found Brotato to be fun.

If you like 80's action movies, there is Broforce.

Duck Game is good as a platform shooter.

There was a really good Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game a few years back. Shredder's Revenge I think? Felt like the old arcade game.

Knight Squad is a great one, very simple gameplay, and supports 4 player PvE and PvP
