Protect Me Knight
the last great wrestle game for n64. i really liked the n64 wrestle game over the current/last gen ones.
The same team made the first two Def Jam games, but I don't know if those are 4-player.

Considering that the screenshot was twisted system, not likely. There were fun parts of this.
Phantasy Star Online Episodes I & II for the Gamecube
Every other year, I start up a new 4 player game with friends and beat both episodes one after the next.

Phantasy Star (Online) Ep 1&2. on Gamecube. We played this so much...
These guys know what's up.I'll post this again since it's a different topic!
Me & my friends spent countless hours in this game!
Was pleasantly surprised with Speedrunner HD. The single player is crap but the multi is wonderfully chaotic platformer/racing.
Not my picture.
There is another out there, however, that shows 3/4 of what I described. One guy flaked out and used a GBA SP, but three people had Wavebirds and small CRTs.
That's the most beautiful thing in the world.
This, and get Nightfire while you're at it.

They've all been mentioned by now most likely, but Chu Chu Rocket, Bomberman, and Protect Me Knight are my local multiplayer standbys.
It really bugs me that the only modern release Chu Chu Rocket has is on iOS. Why the hell isn't it on XBLA/PSN?

Have you considered games of the non-video variety?
My friends and I recently discovered Munchkin. It's a card game loosely based on Dungeons & Dragons, but much simpler. It's basically all about choosing when is the best time to screw over your friends. Also, one of the official rules in the rulebook is, "Cheating is cool, as long as you don't get caught." Good fun.
I'd recommend giving it a shot if you're looking for change of pace.

Fuzion Frenzy is a certified classic. One of the best games last gen. Let's pretend 2 doesn't exist.

One of my friends had Wacked! on Xbox and anytime we went over there he pretty much forced us to play it with him. What a terrible terrible game.

Split-screen at its finest. Play this OP!
Edit: This is also good, very fun/funny moments, just not as polished: http://teknopants.com/games/anamaton/
My friends and I had awesome fun with the Conflict series back in the day. I think Desert Storm 2 was the favourite. Global Storm is definitely more polished though, if you can't handle the outdated graphics. Oh, and don't bother with the current gen one; totally different and only 2-player.
Lot's of great memories of reviving each other in dire situations, like when we were getting hounded by that tank that one time in the city centre, or trying to split up and take a stealthy approach in a night mission, navigating through a minefield, trying to keep our vehicle the whole way through the level, etc. Always remember, the support guy starts with anti-tank mines!
Yep, they sure as hell are!

Some categories are dated, and the interface is clunky, but this can be a really fun game!
Hidden In Plain Sight
This game is so damn fun with 4 people. The game has a couple modes and the basis for each is to not act like you are controlling a character. The screens fills up with a lot of the same characters and you first have to figure out which one you are controlling. Then accomplish the goal with the other players knowing which one you are WHILE trying to stop the others from completing their goals. Sounds confusing but it's pretty easy to learn. So fun!

What about some JRPG? I would recommend Tales of the Abyss. Not 4 players from the start, but when you get 4 of them and you understand the battle mechanics, it is fun.
Haha, yes! Awesome games, used to play those with my friends and brother too. After buying my 360 like in 2008, I tried the game once again before selling my GC and boy it felt SO outdated
Btw, another recommendation:
Shit was INCREDIBLE. 4 player coop, no multiplayer story mode but still great... kind like a Dynasty Warriors, but a lot more fun.
Not a chance in hell
Twisted system was such a blast and for some reason every time I played with friends we'd be cracking up non stop

Another surprisingly fun party game was a Burger King game on the 360. I think it was Big Bumpin'

Does this fall under obvious multiplayer nintendo?
So good...
omg 2v2 was so much fun. and that pirate ship map! oh god i loved this game so much
WTF GAF.
Amen my friend! amen!! this and Perfect Dark
edit2: It's also a part of Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2 for the PS2 and XBox! And on the PSP version too!
Oh cool, I didn't know it was on that collection.
There's also Knights of the Round, by Capcom.
Tried Hunter: The Reckoning on Dolphin, didn't work out. Gonna have to wait for my Gamecube copy to come in the mail.
Went with Warhawk instead tonight. Was pretty fun
We were all bad and people are really damn good, but it was fun just because we had 4 people.
Gonna have Gauntlet 64 on deck next time. Man I really wish I had an Xbox for some of those godlike looking XBLA games :\
Also what up Chauncy #STROKE
Oh, any good local (single PC) co-op PC games? I noticed Dungeon Defenders is on PC as well and was considering checking that version out.

Really enjoyed Kung Fu Chaos (Xbox) a lot with friends. Fuzion Frenzy had some fun games. The sequel however was terrible. With awful minigames, a terrible tournament (with the lamest cutscenes you can imagine) and just no fun at all to play.
I do find it disapointing that more developers don't add splitscreen in their games. Also the 360 has no party games at all (no fusion frenzy 2 does not count). I don't really understand why there are dozens of FPS games and noone is filling the gap of party games...?
Warhawk and LittleBigPlanet 2.
Does anyone know about local multiplayer in Dungeon Hunter Alliance? That looks pretty cool. Cooptimus says 4 players locally, and they handle the dungeon crawling well. Sounds just like Champions.
GAF Confessions: I liked the XBL Beta demo so much that I bought it, albeit years later for like $5.
I regret the purchase. Had a lot of fun with it though, for a tiny while.
Best party game ever, period.
Almost forgot about this one. Brilliant game indeed. The first Crash racing on playstation was cool too.

Really? None of this has been mentioned? (Unless I missed it, then feel free to /point /laugh)
This game is chaos on 4 player.
Obviously it is a Nintendo game, but it is more than just a sit down and duke it out, you actually play through the entire game together. You're playing SMB with 4 people at once.
Also, Yoshi can grab other players. Do what you will with that information.

The pinnacle of Aki's N64 wrestling games. No need to go back any further unless you have an affinity for nwo or Bill Goldberg.

This game is pure fun. Highly recommended.
Came in to say 'Try Hunter: The Reckoning, it's like Left 4 Dead but better!' and I see you're already on it.
