it takes two was pretty good, also I forgot if portal 2 multiplayer has split screen or not but that would be fun too
edit: you can also mod Minecraft java edition to have split screen and controller support, haven’t personally tried it, but I saw a YouTuber do it lol
Also there are almost no good couch coop games, sadly.
I dont play a lot of modern games so im basically a normie in terms of gaming but mario kart and smash bros with friends is really fun
Child of Light
Cult of the Lamb
Stardew fucking Valley. Spent hundreds of hours with my wife on that game, amazing time!
Ever heard of an obscure little game called Baldurs Gate 3?
Castle Crashers
Untitled Goose Game
Cuphead
Unravel
Cat Quest
Nine Parchments
Any Lego game
A few of the recent Mario games
Overcooked
Diablo
Teenage mutant ninja turtles
Mario Kart (yes, switch was our main)
It takes two is great as well!
I was surprised at the sheer quality and variety of this game.
It’s fun to play with either my kid or my wife.
Stardew Valley
The trine games! The first two are a little dated (while still being very fun) and the third one is pretty bad, but 4 or 5 are accessible and great!
Don’t know about others, but you can barely call Odyssey co-op. Cappy mostly just watches Mario play.
Wonder
A couple couch co-op games i like are:
hyper light drifter
Rain world (with the downpour dlc) (incredible game)
Just shapes and beats
Crawl
Binding of Isaac (pretty sure some dlc is required)
Snipperclips plus
Duck game
Pikuniku
A hat in time (I haven’t actually played myself but my friends have)
CoOptimus has a pretty good database of what’s out there

Bedrock could also be played on a console split screen.
I’m bummed that Mario and Luigi brothership isn’t co-op, it’s in the name, TWO people!
There are some other cute switch games that are co-op. Yoshi’s crafted world was fun.
Portal 2 has split screen, at least the PC version
