I think this is where Nintendo's marketshare is coming from as well. Local multiplayer. Games like Mario Kart, Mario Maker, Smash Bros etc. are really great.

You can get a group of people (gamers and non gamers), some take out, and have a blast.

Board gaming can be a similar experience - with the added depth that comes with many of the more advanced games.




Yes board games are local multi player games of our youth like Golden Eye and the other games you listed. Didn't think of that.
