Top 20 Best Couch Co-Op Nintendo Switch Games

[@ClassicCo-op]

Thanks everyone for watching and commenting! Super grateful and surprised by the attention this video is getting. I wanted to address this one last time as we are getting this comment quite often - “where’s it takes two or (insert game title)?” I love all the games you’re mentioning too, but this video is about Switch exclusives. We state this in the intro as well as the description 00:19. Please just watch all of the video before commenting 😅 Thanks again for watching!

[@markfelts6511]

Where is It Takes Two? Literally the best co-op game out there..

[@ClassicCo-op]

Agreed. This video was about Switch exclusives though.

Loved the additions of the product style shots in the beginning! Excellent thumbnail as well. All very professional. Great job on this! I really need to pick up some of these. Box Boy & Box Girl may be my top priority.

[@ClassicCo-op]

Thanks! That was fun to work on. Box boy and box girl is really fun! I haven’t really played anything like it. Definitely a unique platformer.

Fun video guys! Honestly I wasn't sure if I was watching the best or the worst co-op games at the beginning, but that's personal preference! 😂 Keep up the good work!

Haha I knew you’d have something to say about those few games. I liked all those games. Thanks for watching!

[@JimJamTheAdmin]

Astral Chain is a weird treat but I would struggle to recommend it to anyone after the traffic puzzle games, let alone someone I love.

[@ClassicCo-op]

Haha fair enough. It has some cool things going for it, but the co-op isn’t ideal.

[@GameandGig]

I need to convince my wife to play Age of Calamity with me in co-op! We both played it single player, she didn’t enjoy it as much as I did, but maybe she would like it better in co-op.

[@ClassicCo-op]

I didn’t even play this game until fairly recently! I didn’t know the story was a prequel to Breath of the Wild. It was just a lot better than I was expecting. But also, maybe we’re just starving for anything co-op in a Zelda game? Haha

[@TheGunguy461]

Thanks for listing them and providing links. Is this your first KZbin video?

[@ClassicCo-op]

No, have a bunch of other co-op related videos on the channel! Check it out!

[@mandatorial]

7:40 would you say that Star Allies is the better co-op game because the teamwork is more meaningful? Or are they equally non-essential?

[@ClassicCo-op]

Yeah, it might be, and it’s easier for the “helpers” to keep up. But Forgotten world is the overall better game, in my opinion. Some people don’t like co-op in Kirby games, but I always think it’s a good time.

[@danielmcphee2546]

Do you recommend any good wirelesss co-op games woth decent story and gameplay between teo switches?

[@ClassicCo-op]

I’ll have to think about that. Couch co-op is my focus, so that’s a little outside of my area of expertise.

[@CBAmoofin]

If you like farming games, Fae Farm and Roots of Pacha are both favorites of mine as well as have internet co op. Animal Crossing can be played together online as well. The other person would need their own copy of the game(s) though. Minecraft Dungeons is also a fun multiplayer game. Uh, it's definitely not a farming game though, lmao.

Can switch lite play co op games with another switch lite? I want to play a co op game with a friend, but we both have switch lite only. Thank you. 😊

13:18 Have you tried the first Hyrule Warriors and how would you compare its co-op to Age of Calamity?

[@ClassicCo-op]

I never played through the whole thing. But from what I’ve experienced, Age of Calamity is just better. The story and everything adds a lot of depth. But they’re about the same when it comes to co-op gameplay.

Would love a non-couch-coop version. My wife and I enjoy playing Divinity 2: Original Sin and hunger for a follow up. So far, we couldn‘t find one.

[@ClassicCo-op]

We typically just cover couch co-op on this channel, but I’ll keep that in mind! Yeah, it’s hard to find co-op RPGs with as much depth as Divinity. Very different in tone, but have you played Pit People? It’s made by the team that did Castle Crashers. It’s a great tactical RPG with co-op. Young Souls is a good story driven co-op ARPG that plays like a beat em up. Children of Morta and Dragon’s Crown are a couple of others. And of course the Mana games are great co-op RPGs.
