5 players is actually something the TurboGrafx 16/PC Engine excelled at; several Bomberman games were 5 player, all three Moto Roader games are 5p, and there's also both Dungeon Explorers and Battle Lode Runner.

Did the Genesis or SNES have any 5 player games? I know there are some 4: Micro Machines and NBA Jam are the only two I can think of, though

Modern games are also fine

Bump for day CE

I ran across another game; Battle Cross for the Super Famicom. Seems pretty fun, haven't yet been able to try it myself, though

So, funnily enough, I'm asking because we're doing a BG night with our full crew for the first time in a long time.

I've found that we get more heavy bgs in if we play less tabletop filler and replace it with pick up and play vidya. Micro machines is a ton of fun for 10-20 minutes, then youre ready to dive back in to something that requires thinking

yeah i think castle crashers is great for that kind of thing, highly recommend

also consider getting one of the jackbox games during the steam sale, it's good for up to 8 i think. pack 3 is the best

I'm having a total blast with Warhammer: Vermintide 2. Completely new to the Warhammer Fantasy franchise and it's only getting better as the devs iron out bugs.

@Balrog0
Here is a HELLDIVERS Quick Look which sums it up perfectly.
Personally I play it regularly since early 2016 (was free on the PSN at that point); and it's still a blast :]

seems like 5 is a lot harder to satisfy than 4, though

Overcooked (Windows, X1, PS4) allows up to 4 players to enter a kitchen and try to beat missions with honestly some of the most BS obstacles and time limits I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing. It's actually a really challenging but rewarding game and it forces communication to coordinate who's going to do what and what issues are coming up in the game. It looks simple but it quickly descends into hell mode. But seriously like... it's a really well designed game, just requires strong teamwork.

Eon Altar (Windows) is a cooperative (or is it?) RPG for 4 players where each player uses their smart phone as a controller and each player gets unique information, tasks, etc. that you can share with the other players or keep to yourself for whatever purpose you see fit. I haven't actually played this one so I'm kind of curious how it goes. And apparently they're also not continuing development (there's one season out so far, though and it's pretty cheap on Steam).

This is kind of cheating, but Tabletop Simulator supports 2-8 player hotseat multiplayer, and then of course you choose whichever games you want for it (there are some good co-op board games out there so I don't see why this wouldn't be a good option though).

Super Smash Bros. Wii U is up to 8, and the Switch version will be to I believe.

The Jackbox Party Pack(s) are also fantastic party games, with games ranging from 2 - 8 players. Highly recommend them.

Came in to say Overcooked. It's great, and available also on Switch.
Octodad is a fun romp. Wii U had a lot of nice 4-5 player games on release.

I do appreciate the suggestions, though, I need to write these down or something

I actually like pack 4. Monster Seeking Monster and Civic Doodle are really unique games, although MSM could use some more polish. And the Fibbage About You or whatever it's called in the new Fibbage is actually really fun with a group of people that know each other decently well.

I too vouch for Helldivers. IMHO, this is one of the most balanced & polished co-op games I've ever played.

I clocked 1000 hours on it and had to force myself to stop so I can clear out my Steam backlog.

Problem is I recently purchased Deep Rock Galactic which is inspired by Helldivers on a whim and it looks like my backlog won't be clearing anytime soon...
