But how does the couch hold the controller?
Couch coop means that you can play it on one console with two contllers
@@rahulsingh954I think you missed the part where this is a joke…
I think this guy is a dad
Badumm tsssss
This is not funny. Even if the couch could hold the controller it wouldn’t be able to play the game because it lacks sentience.
Good Games not mentioned in the video: - Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe - Pikmin 3 Deluxe - Mario vs Donkey Kong
he did mention kirby's return to dream land deluxe! very briefly
@@kyongu375 Exactly, DLD is already there, and he did say GOOD games.
mario wonder is awesome!
Wonders fine, but the way the camera follows just one person is super cancerous
Mario v Donkey Kong is not a good game
It Takes Two is one of the best games I've ever played. I played it with my wife and we had a lot of fun playing together. I love how forgiving it is because it makes it much more welcoming to a person like my wife who doesn't play a lot of games.
Same, my wife and I played through it and she struggles with running and jumping in 3D. We played on the Xbox and the game is super well done and polished.
I differ, me and my wife really liked the three first levels, then on the fourth we were really bored and wanted the level to end so it could be saved and we didn't have to start the level all over again. It is repetitive
Remind me which section is the fourth level again? @@JmpmRA It has been a while since we played through the game, so I forget which section that was.
Please put a list of the games or timestamps into the description.
What I love about the switch is you could do multiplayer anywhere even without internet
Pokemon Lets Go Is the only Pokemon game you can play couch co-op something about two players running around the Kanto map Is so cool
Another fun co-op game I would recommend that goes up to 8 people is Pico Park, where you all work together to solve platformer puzzles! I played with 8 people and man it gets quite chaotic. It's also a fairly easy game to pick up for any casual gamers and plus it's only $4.99 in the eshop
OMG I have always loved Felix's voice. It gives me a sense of calm, perky, and soothing at the same time
Luigi's mansion 3 and Kirby and the Forgotten Land were the best times for me and my kiddo.
Same forgotten land was so good, probably the best ever since WiiU’s Yoshi’ wooly world
Forgotten land is sooo good for my daughter and me, can I ask how old your kiddo is because I think luigi's Mansion 3 might be too hard for my 5year old.
6 at the time.
Love this topic! I'm constantly looking for new Couch Co-Op games. Some recommendations: -Young Souls (Action RPG) -Heave Ho (Puzzle Platformer type game) -Moving Out (Similar vibe to overcooked) -Very Very Valet (Similar vibe to Moving Out / O.C.) -Any of the many Beat Em Ups on the console
Dad with 3 kids so we do a lot of couch co-op...Towerfall is one of most frequented games! I will also suggest Ember Knights - it's Hades for 4 people and very well done - it's very accessible for kids to learn as well! Would Tetris Effect Connected count? You make one person the boss and the other 3 co-op to beat the boss!
What a great video. I love that they also explain some little disadvantages and negative arguments besides the positive ones so we can really decide if we wanna play a certain game. 🎮💪 great job!
This is just a topic that crossed my mind last night where I was thinking I need to find some Switch games to play with my girlfriend. So thanks for making it easier for me! I already have a couple but we haven't tried anything yet.
You should definitely add Boomerang Fu to the list, very funny and up to 6 players. Anyways, does Overcooked: All You Can Eat have new levels? Is it worth it for those who already have Overcooked 1 and 2?
Cat Quest II has been one of my fav's since 2019. Pretty straight forward play/story and even if you're partner has never played it before, it's really easy to pick up. 10/10 recommend as a way to waste a Saturday afternoon.
Felix is turning into Mario woo hoo 😂
Snipperclips is a must for couch coop! It's adorable and hilarious.
Moving Out 2 just came out last year. Its a great Overcooked adjacent game, with plenty of settings to make it easier for newer players. I also loved spider heck, which is stick fight with spiders and co-op options. What the golf and golfing with friends are very different games but both couch co-op options.
I just wanna vouch for the briefly mentioned WarioWare: Get It Together which is absolutely incredible. It's so much fun with a friend, it's button only (so it's a bit simpler and doesn't require as much physical coordination) and if you're still not sure - go back on *this channel* and watch Alex & Jon play it together, it's one of the most fun Nintendo Life videos I've ever watched 😊
great video and great channel thanks again guys :)
Resident Evil Revelations 2 has 2 player co-op for the Campaign and Raid Mode. Campaign one player has guns and the other has special abilities. Raid Mode both players can arm themselves however they see fit.
I’ve had fun co-op with most of these, and also Gotta Protectors: Cart of Darkness, and Trine 4.
in my experience the dialog in portal 2 is fixed , it is on character for GLADOS to mess your team dynamic regardles of how you do
Kingdom Two Crowns is such a hidden gem on the switch. If my partner and I can't figure out what to play, we often default to another Kingdom run, especially since there are four different campaigns to choose from. It has a satisfying feedback loop and suits two players expertly.
I agree with all of these! Well done
didnt know half of these games were multiplayer, like stardew! ommmmg ive been missing out
TOWERFALL!!! Totally in love! It's a shame there is no online Multiplayer!
I feel like Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 doesn’t get enough credit as a co-op game. Huge roster, fun, colorful worlds, solid variety in enemies, and the trick to coordinating your powers to maximize team efficiency makes for a great time.
MUA 3 had huge potential, but the developers simply gave up. They could have at least allowed us to craft our own rainbow isos.
UnSpotable definitely recommended with a party or friends! Great times!
Dude… you slept on the best one… Trine. All 5 of them are amazing couch co op games.
Ive played Luigi's Mansion twice, once with my mom and once with my friend, since they both love Luigi lol
Marvel ultimate alliance 3 is a very good couch coop game of you are a marvel fan.. Borderlands 2 is another good one if you are into FPS couch coop Guns Gore and Cannoli is also good. It is a run n gun style game with up to 4players as i remember..
Err you totally missed any of the TRINE games! They’re really great for multiplayer co-op (o single).
I haven’t tried it yet, but Terraria now has local split screen in docked mode :D
Great list!
Oh noes, we missed the best indie Couch Cooperative 4 player game ever!! Frozenbyte 9 Parchments. That game is sooooo good, plus the music!! And also all of Trine(series). On another note MUA 3.
How could you Leave out Snipperclips??
I can’t believe Broforce was left out of this list, it’s an amazing game.
AAAAA THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME REMEMBER THIS GAME!!!! I couldnt for the life of me remember its name!!! Its so much fun
Did it that game come out way before the date he mentioned?
Unravel 2 is a great 1 or 2 player puzzle platformer. Goes on sale frequently. I've been working my way through it with my little cousin.
Ember Knights! 4 player rogue-lite that’s very addictive
Return to Dreamland Deluxe is GOATed couch co-op.
Absolutely love Part Time UFO! If you happen to have a couple of fight sticks (we have the ones from 8bitdo), I find that's the most fun way to play and add some challenge! I had the same experience playing Portal with my fiance so your wife is not alone! Towerfall is also a family favorite -some other fun ones to look into as well would be Invisigun and Heave Ho!
Some other ones to suss out if ya interested is Unravel 2, my nephew's Love that game, the mrs loves it too, cassette beasts is getting multiplayer/co-op but I haven't tested that one yet, Diablo 3 is a great couch co-op me and my mates love, then there's a pretty unique title called Arise: a simple story where player two controls time and player one controls the character and me n the misses had a good ol cry in that, it gets pretty emotional that game and made me appreciate how much I love my partner, it's a great togetherness game that tugs at the heart strings, and it really makes me wonder why on earth aren't there more games like it, and at the other end of the glass cage of emotions is Resident Evil Revelations 2, it is a fantastic co-op game and no it's not scary, the misses hates scary games and she loves the co-op in that, it's also why everyone is pleading for a Resi Revelations 3, it's heaps decent and some of those cutscenes are absolutely hilarious because of the cheesiness and dad joke vibes, thankyou heaps for this vid there's a couple there I'll definitely check out, take care till the next one and thanks again for everything 😊 see ya! 😅
Boomerang fu > tower fall Moving out > overcooked Rayman legends > illusion island
Towerfall is probably my favorite couch multiplayer game ever made. I didn't think much of it from the ads, but I trusted some reviewers (from Polygon) and tried it out, and it's truly incredible! The secret sauce is in the vast number of things you can configure, and while, again, that doesn't sound like fun, it absolutely is! You can change the play style completely! You can go from a game that plays more like Mario Bros to a game that plays more like Doom. And you can balance out the difficulty between players by only enabling and disabling things per player, if you want to. I cannot recommend this game enough!
Boomerang Fu is one of these best 2-6 player couch coop games. It also goes on sale all the time. Highly recommended.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe is the best co-op game on Switch imo. Unbelievably satisfying splitting up and getting as much done as possible in a day or within the mission mode constraints. Played it with my roommate who was totally new to the series and he loved it!
Super Crazy Rhythm Castle. Four-player couch co-op, rhythm gameplay, Overcooked-esque. That is all. :D
Just finished it takes two with my fiance last night. So much fun !❤
I hope the next console leans even harder into couch co-op, but also in to co-op pvp.
I love your mustache, my man.
Come on.. "Boomerang Fu", don't miss that out. Great 6 player game!
I wish more non platform games were available as couch co-op 😢
I like Felix's Luigi costume
not a mention about the binding of Isaac since the multiplayer is fun
interesting mustache there luigi
That you can't play splatoon in splitscreen multiplayer may be nintendos biggest failing in lile 20 years.
Play Broforce. Thank me later
we need more beat em ups here like at least streets of rage 4 and river city girls 1+2
That’s some great games!
I still can’t believe forgotten land was Kirby’s first 3D game
Towerfall will make a lot of people rage quit, but it's a very nice game that requires good reflexes.
For the King is really good too! Couch co-op or online!
it’s a meeee, Maariiiiiiooo
Haven’t played Shredder’s Revenge, but for my money, the most fun coop beat em up is Fight’N Rage
Honest question, is Overcooked! All You Can Eat better than Overcooked! 2? One of the times there was a huge sale I bought Overcooked! 2: Gourmet Edition and only then I noticed about All You Can Eat. I saw that it's 1 plus 2 and theoretically with better graphics, Had I not bought Overcooked 2 first I probably would've bought that instead but I already did. So, is it much better or worth it having already Overcooked 2? (also, considering that you can get AYCE for 75% off, i.e. 9.99)
well its 2 games packaged into 1 and has all the DLC of OC1. so you are kinda getting more content for less $
2 Kirby games and Part-Time UFO!
Definitely Boomerang Fu, it's so entertaining
Tower fall is the best co-op/vs couch game!!!
Graphic style from Cuphead makes me scary
They hold, so weapons hold Felix. Anyway nice list though in the comments are some great recommendations as well.
How do I set up a two-player game of Diablo 3 with two Pro Controllers? Can anyone help?
You need two copies of the game and two switches
right after the Nintendo network dies 😭
Welp it helps at least
Wait the 3DS online died?!?!? 😭😭😭😭 At least the only person I play my games with is my brother and local multiplayer is safe. (For now) also since I have a modded DS I could download Pretendo (an online service thing)
@@Gatorboy5678I love pretendo but it’s not supporting animal crossing yet 😭
@@unholyhell Yeah. Yo-kai Watch is on the list but not done yet so I feel your pain.
@@Gatorboy5678"For now" What do you mean? Local wireless has never been something that can "go away".
Pikmin 3 deluxe is like number 1 for me
These coop couch games❤
You missed Streets of Rage 4 and River City Girls 1 and 2
Towerfall is my favourite!!!!
16:24 i would personally choose rayman legends over this game
Overcooked will definitely test your relationships 😂
No Super Mario Bros. Wonder? I have a lot of fun playing together with the family.
Cuphead is crazy unless you play with another tryhard nerd friend.Played it with my casual friend and he wanted to quit on the first boss 😅
Wargroove deserved a spot
bro has that amber alert moustache
Castle Crashers!
Moving Out 1 or 2
This guy looks like iferg is he related to him 😊
CAT QUEST 1 AND 2
No love for Ember Knights?
Hey Nintendo Life friends! I don't know where else to post this, but would you be willing to do a video on the 3DS shutdown blocking some games from being able to download purchased DLC, despite Nintendo saying you wouldn't lose access to purchased content? Smash 3DS being a big example.
Felix, I'm sad that you did not mention River City Girls and Streets of Rage 4 - both of which are on the Switch!
Plateup!
Joggernauts Death Squared Heave Ho Bonkies Trash Sailors Death Road to Canada Aces of the Luftwaffe Full Metal Furies Trine: Ultimate Collection Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime Hammerwatch Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos
Felix. You remind me of somebody that would have a windowless van
Goooood video
Cuphead is a difficult game by today’s standards. Playing it in co-op makes it even harder, too much happening on the screen
I haven’t watched this yet but man it better have Pikmin 3 on it
Fission Mailed
Right?!
You forgot to include three of the best ones smash bros,mario kart and mario party
Baldurs gate dark alliance???
If only my siblings wanted to play video games.. :|
