Seconding this. I got a used Wii and hacked it to play pirated games from an SD card, including Just Dance. Literally every commercially sold Wii can be hacked now, it's super easy. No money given to Nintendo.
Also, the Just Dance modding scene is still pretty active and there are Wii ports for newer songs/games. But you can emulate stuff instead if you don't have/want a Wii.
I totally get what you mean. Having laundry and dry cleaning in one place makes life a lot easier. I had a similar experience when I was looking for a reliable carpet cleaning service for my home. After trying a few local options, I came across Colorado Stainmaster and it turned out to be a real time saver. Just like you mentioned about clothes care, they handle carpets and upholstery with the same level of attention, which gives peace of mind.
8 players is tough… We play quite some couch cooperative games, so here’s some recommendations. None of them except a single party game for 8 at once though, I’m afraid.
overcooked was already recommended. I second that. It’s great. But man, it’s intense, too… You can only play this with people who can laugh at themselves. I’ve heard purple say that this game might jeopardise friendships and I get it.
lovers in a dangerous spacetime is a game I’m madly in love with. It’s a coop roguelike which mixes space and lasers (which worked well for some of our kids) with pink rainbow unicorn aesthetics (which worked well for the other kids) and is just all around great fun to play.
boomerang fu was already recommended. I like the design and the the music has some real bangers, but it’s a competitive game which might lead to some conflict, depending on your group dynamics.
unrailed cost us quite some hours as well. We really liked it, but imho it gets quite tough quite fast - we rarely got to the third of iirc ten biomes. Maybe it’s because we always play it with our kids. Maybe we just suck at it. Despite this issue, we sunk quite some hours into it because it just still works well.
Trine is three players coop only… It’s a platformer. I didn’t like the design so much, but my kids love it, so I guess that’s still a good verdict.
pixel cup soccer is our go-to soccer game. It’s obviously a simple arcade game, but it’s fun.
Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed is our Not-Mario-Kart Kartracer and it works well. Not a fan of the tanks in there for a kid’s game though.
the Jack’s party box games or whatever they’re called are a kind of mixed bag, but drawful is great fun. It’s also the only game on this list for 8 players. You draw stuff on a phone or a tablet and there’s a well-working mechanic to make people guess what was drawn.
while I haven’t played it yet (waiting for a deal), Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is supposedly a great take on classic streets of rage style beat em ups.
Rayman: Origins is a beautifully made and well designed platformer that can be played cooperatively with up to four people. True classic imho.
for a quick party session, our kids love ultimate chicken horse where you build a level and then race through it. Tbh, for me it didn’t really provide too much replayability, but hey, if the kids like it, who am I to judge?
So far as I know, there aren’t a lot of 8-player local multiplayer games. The only obvious answer is the Jackbox games, using your phones as controllers.
Beyond that, I did find this Steam curator, who seems to specialize in 8-player games. From thier list, I recognize Gang Beasts, and Pico Park: Classic Edition. Party Golf, Screen Cheat, and Cobalt also all looked interesting, but I’ve never seen anyone play them.
Anbernic controllers really don't get enough attention. I've got a bunch of them and they're great.
Cheap enough that you can buy in bulk and better than an Xbox, or DS5 controller, which is what I was using previously.
They have all the things I want. Namely, gyro, programmable back buttons, and hall effect sticks and triggers. They're also widely compatible, and I've had no trouble connecting them to anything, including a Switch and a Linux machine.
Literally scheduled stupidity. I’m actually surprised they were this upfront with it being AI and reacted this quickly to backlash. This could’ve gotten a lot worse with a lesser understanding team believe it or not.
I think Neigsendoig (my producer) has an idea. You could play something like Super Tux Kart or another open-source game (mind you, that one I mentioned is FREE and Open-source) of the like.
I can’t think of a single game other than maybe Monopoly or Worms or something else where only 1 controller is used snd just passed around in a turn-based game that would even support more than 4 people playing at once with a single machine.
Most games only support up to 4 players in split screen, and most of those wre going to be older cuz modern games tend to not have splitscreen multiplayer at all.
Most people look fondly on the last time they were truly healthy and energetic. Some people, early in their 50s, some people their early childhood, some people don’t have it.
