Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Cheap Indie games with online multiplayer?

Bought my kids each a Lite so now we have a system for each member of the family. No more having to play PC instead when I wanna play Pokemon but the kids want to play Minecraft.

But with that said, I was thinking - it would also be nice to have some games that we can play together, all on our own consoles.

Of course, that would require I buy whatever game it is 4 times - once on each account - which means I would like something cheap. And my kids are young, so probably nothing too terribly technical.

Any suggestions?

I downloaded free racing game "Asphalt 9"...was pleasantly surprised by the great graphics (For the Switch anyway) Car handling, and addictive set up. Provided that you grind a bit, it is not necessary to spend any money on the game.

It has local split screen modes and online multiplayer. Which you unlock after about an hour or two of play.

I believe you'd only need to buy a game twice, given how the account system works on the Switch. Set it up so the person with the primary account on their console plays the game on a different account, then someone with the secondary account plays it on that one - I've played online multiplayer with a friend by doing that, but logically it'd only work for up to 2 players at once, so you'd need to buy twice to get 4 players in.

As for the suggestion itself, I don't know. The multiplayer games I play on the Switch are usually of the $60, everyone-on-the-same-screen kind.

Hmm. That hasn't worked in the past with Minecraft at least, but I just tested it with Kamiko (only other game I have downloaded to two systems at the moment) and I have it running on both. So yeah, maybe it WILL work, then...
