For games that support "local multiplayer" its usually as easy as just turning 2 controllers on and choosing the two player mode in the game.
Any specific game you have in mind?

Actually, the Tales games do. It's bit of an "asymmetric" multiplayer, though -- exploring and stuff is done by the main player only; however, when you go into combat, the other player controls one of the characters that would otherwise be AI controlled. So now there are simply two human players.
In Berseria (the only Tales game that I know to date), this also means the second player can't participate in the early game stages, because there's only character in the "party".
