Every now and then I visit my parents at their house, and while I'm there I enjoy playing games with my sister. They have a Switch and a PC that we could play games together on, but for the most part we forsake those modern technologies and instead usually gravitate towards the Wii, a console which will turn 20 years old this November.

Couch multiplayer seems to have peaked on the Wii and its late-2000s contemporaries. I know it can't just be my own nostalgia saying that because my sister would agree, and she wasn't born until the Wii was already in its senior year. Though, I will admit we did end up growing up with mostly the same games as we wouldn't get a new console until I got my parents to pitch in to buy her a Switch for her birthday in 2020. Either way, even with us having access to newer and arguably better games, the ones on the Wii just seem to be better at bringing us closer together and just being plain fun.

We've been working our way through Kirby's Epic Yarn, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and just messing around in other games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Wii Music (the game itself might not be that good but it's given us lots of laughs) and we love those games. None of this is to say I'd give away my Switch and PC and only ever play Wii games forever, and I think I can say the same for my sister, but hey, if we were on a desert island that somehow had electricity and a TV...

What kind of games do you all have memories playing with your friends and family?
