A bunch of retro games have good couch co-op support & the steam deck can emulate pretty much all of them
Zombies ate my neighbors, smash TV, 2-d brawlers like TMNT turtles in time, double dragon, and streets of rage, Goldeneye, toejam and Earl, bubble bobble
Garth Marenghi's dark place, rifftrax/mst3k, Young Frankenstein, duck soup, Joe Bob's has a bunch of shlocky horror movies mixed in with classics they do intros and interrupts like the old public access/cable monster movies
