Fast RMX (2017)
7.3/10on IGDB
Released
Use a horizontal Joy-Con each for a local split-screen race. The fast tracks make the smaller stick feel twitchier than it does in Mario Kart. Pick this when both players want sharp turns and the challenge of changing boost colors at speed.

Rocket League (2015)
8.1/10on IGDB
Released
Pair each Joy-Con as a separate controller and join the second player for split-screen play. Try a local Exhibition match if you want a quick game of car soccer. Give yourselves a little time to get used to steering and boosting on the smaller controllers.

Mario Strikers: Battle League (2022)
6.9/10on IGDB
Released
Hold one Joy-Con horizontally each and pick a local match. A single game gives you enough time to try out positioning and passes. The pace is fast, so try playing on the same side against the computer while one of you learns the controls.

Mario Tennis Aces (2018)
7.1/10on IGDB

Nintendo Switch Sports (2022)
7.2/10on IGDB
Released
Start with a local match of tennis or bowling, where one motion-controlled Joy-Con per person is enough. Put the straps on before swinging and give each other room. Check the game’s controller screen before picking other sports or variants, since some expect more hardware.

Go Vacation (2018)
Released
Explore Kawawii Island with one Joy-Con per player and stop at activities along the way. Compete when you want a score to beat, then spend time wandering the resort together. It’s a good fit when you’d rather pick different activities than commit to a tournament.
