5 Best Retro Couch Co-Op Games

As I get older and older and gaming becomes more reliant on online capabilities, I’m beginning to miss the days when my buddies would come over and we would play Super Nintendo until we fell asleep. Now it is harder to find those types of nights with all of the online functions, grown up life, and the movement away from couch co-op. Finding a game like that is very rare as well; Rock Band and Guitar Hero are trying to bring it back, and the fledgling Wii U has some titles that allow for it, but other than that Sony and Microsoft somewhat shun the concept. They’ve accepted that online is the way to go and push for it, even though some of us long for the days of eating pizza and gaming into the wee hours of the morn. These are five of my favorite couch co-op games from my youth.
