But how does the couch hold the controller?

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

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.

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

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

What I love about the switch is you could do multiplayer anywhere even without internet

OMG I have always loved Felix's voice. It gives me a sense of calm, perky, and soothing at the same 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

Please put a list of the games or timestamps into the description.

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!

Luigi's mansion 3 and Kirby and the Forgotten Land were the best times for me and my kiddo.

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.

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.

Felix is turning into Mario woo hoo 😂

Snipperclips is a must for couch coop! It's adorable and hilarious.

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.

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?

I’ve had fun co-op with most of these, and also Gotta Protectors: Cart of Darkness, and Trine 4.

great video and great channel thanks again guys :)

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 😊

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.

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

All i say is: Lego City Undercover. Amazing that split screen works so good and you can do things together or go your own way.

Ive played Luigi's Mansion twice, once with my mom and once with my friend, since they both love Luigi lol

I can’t believe Broforce was left out of this list, it’s an amazing game.

I agree with all of these! Well done

TOWERFALL!!! Totally in love! It's a shame there is no online Multiplayer!

Great list!

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! 😅

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 haven’t tried it yet, but Terraria now has local split screen in docked mode :D

Awesome video I will definitely pick some of these to play with my wife

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.

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!

Have you really not played Boomerang Fu? This entire video could just be that game!

Is it possible to connect two switches together to play a game co-op both in handheld mode? For example, can my wife and I both own a switch and play a co-op game together (like borderlands 2 for example)? And if it it’s possible do we both need an online account? Or do either of us need one? I know I can do split screen, but I would rather on our individual consoles. Also, does the game need to be purchased twice?

Games that NEED to be in this list -Moving out (1 and 2) (1-4 p) -No heroes here (1-4 p) -Lovers in a dangerous spacetime (1-4 p) -Part time UFO (1-2 p) These are chaotic multiplayer games that really deserve a place here

Dude… you slept on the best one… Trine. All 5 of them are amazing couch co op games.

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.

Return to Dreamland Deluxe is GOATed couch co-op.

didnt know half of these games were multiplayer, like stardew! ommmmg ive been missing out

Ember Knights! 4 player rogue-lite that’s very addictive

I would also add Rain World to the list (DLC Downpour adds up to 4 Player mode). This is only something for people who all love to game as it is rather difficult, but once you got the hang of it it is highly addicting. You play little slugcats in a pixelated futuristic wasteland where everything wants to kill you - and everything seems to be stronger than you. The enemies all have an AI and no fix spawn points, so the environment does really feel alive. If you play on steam - it has a very active modding community. Highly recommend.

I hope the next console leans even harder into couch co-op, but also in to co-op pvp.

Boomerang Fu is one of these best 2-6 player couch coop games. It also goes on sale all the time. Highly recommended.

Super Crazy Rhythm Castle. Four-player couch co-op, rhythm gameplay, Overcooked-esque. That is all. :D

Err you totally missed any of the TRINE games! They’re really great for multiplayer co-op (o single).

UnSpotable definitely recommended with a party or friends! Great times!

I love your mustache, my man.

How could you Leave out Snipperclips??

Loved warrio since the wii days really underrated

I like Felix's Luigi costume

Come on.. "Boomerang Fu", don't miss that out. Great 6 player game!

Haven’t played Shredder’s Revenge, but for my money, the most fun coop beat em up is Fight’N Rage

not a mention about the binding of Isaac since the multiplayer is fun

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.

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..

I still can’t believe forgotten land was Kirby’s first 3D game

I'll add a vote for the Trine games. 1 and 2 are pretty old, but still very fun. 3 is a bit of a janky mess, but fun in it's own way. 4 is back to the awesomeness of the first two and really really good. And 5, which just came out last summer, I have not been able to play quite yet, though I already bought it.

For the King is really good too! Couch co-op or online!

That’s some great games!

Play Broforce. Thank me later

Just finished it takes two with my fiance last night. So much fun !❤

we need more beat em ups here like at least streets of rage 4 and river city girls 1+2

interesting mustache there luigi

16:24 i would personally choose rayman legends over this game

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!

Definitely Boomerang Fu, it's so entertaining

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)

2 Kirby games and Part-Time UFO!

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!

Towerfall will make a lot of people rage quit, but it's a very nice game that requires good reflexes.

They hold, so weapons hold Felix. Anyway nice list though in the comments are some great recommendations as well.

That you can't play splatoon in splitscreen multiplayer may be nintendos biggest failing in lile 20 years.

Okay so I'm not super tech savy and my partner is thinking about getting a switch so we can play gamed together but we aren't thrilled with the monthly online subscription. I keep googling but google isn't understanding my question so maybe someone here can. Do you need a switch online subscription for local co-op?

Pikmin 3 deluxe is like number 1 for me

Tower fall is the best co-op/vs couch game!!!

Towerfall is my favourite!!!!

I wish more non platform games were available as couch co-op 😢

No Super Mario Bros. Wonder? I have a lot of fun playing together with the family.

Boomerang fu > tower fall Moving out > overcooked Rayman legends > illusion island

These coop couch games❤

it’s a meeee, Maariiiiiiooo

You missed Streets of Rage 4 and River City Girls 1 and 2

How do I set up a two-player game of Diablo 3 with two Pro Controllers? Can anyone help?

it would be really helpful if you will write the name of the game on the screen and viewer can skip current game right to the next game and already see the name.

Graphic style from Cuphead makes me scary

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 😅

cup head game is like darksouls for switch

right after the Nintendo network dies 😭

Wargroove deserved a spot

This guy looks like iferg is he related to him 😊

Castle Crashers!

Overcooked will definitely test your relationships 😂

Moving Out 1 or 2

Goooood video

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.

No love for Ember Knights?

bro has that amber alert moustache
