Hotseat multiplayer has also seen prominence on some [[video game console|console]] video games, especially certain multiplayer games that are intended to be family-friendly, within the [[Party video game|party]] genre, or both.  For example, the [[Wii]] games ''[[Wii Sports]]'' and ''[[Wii Sports Resort]]'' have certain sports, such as golf, that require its competitors to take turns.  Players share a [[Wii Remote]], the system's [[Video game controller|controller]], which the current player has possession of during a turn.

Hotseat play allows players to play a multiplayer game with only one copy of the game on only one device.  Since hotseat play is usually defined as turn-based by nature, the duration of a game may extend beyond that of a comparable real-time networked multiplayer game where each player can take action at the same time. Some games allow hotseat and networked players to compete with each other in the same game, while maintaining turn-based play. In those cases, hotseat enables {{mvar|N}} players to play on fewer than {{mvar|N}} physical computers.
