Ah, fall (in the Northern Hemisphere)... the weather starts to cool, the leaves begin to change, and the holiday video game releases loom on the horizon. While the start of summer typically marks developers and publishers hyping up the gaming community with big announcements for what's to come in a year (or two or three) via digital presentations and "Keigh3," the fall is when we usually get teasers of more immediate releases. For example, the September Nintendo Direct dropped yesterday and not only did it finally give a full name and release date for the next Zelda game (The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, May 12, 2023), but there are four new co-op games, two remastered co-op games, and one existing co-op title that are coming to the Switch within the next 6 months.

Nintendo released a 20-minute Direct earlier today that was focused on their Pokemon franchise. While there is a remake of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue/Red Rescue Team games on the way as Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, the co-op specific news we're interested in is the new DLC that's coming to Pokemon Sword and Shield this year via the $30 Expansion Pass.

Last week, Nintendo held a special Pokémon Direct that was focused entirely on the two forthcoming games for the Switch: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. Similar to past titles in the popular franchise, you'll be running around a fictional world with all sorts of wild creatures for you to capture, train, and use in battles. Those battles - whether against other players or the various Gym Leaders - have always been a big part of the Pokémon series, but they're about to get even bigger with a new co-op feature: Max Raid Battles.

During yesterday's short Nintendo Direct, the developer/publisher pulled back the curtain on the forthcoming Super Mario Maker 2 and revealed that not only are there some new creation options for everyone to enjoy, but that the game will also support co-op play! Hooray!

Nintendo held another of their "Nintendo Directs" yesterday, this time focused on all the independent video games coming to the Switch in the near future. There were a number of new single-player titles they revealed that look interesting, but we're all about the co-op here and one title in particular caught our eye.

Nintendo held another of their "Nintendo Direct" media events yesterday afternoon and had a quite a bit to show off/tease for the next 6 months (Spoiler: Nintendo is calling "dibs" on your summer gaming). Here's a breakdown of all the co-op news. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order (2:18) - Aside from ...

Yesterday, Nintendo held one of their occasional "Nintendo Direct" events and revealed a few new things that will be heading to the Switch and 3DS over the coming months. While the one announcement that's probably got most folks excited is the new Super Smash Bros coming sometime this year (and hey, maybe it'll have co-op like the past few), our ears perked up at the mention of co-op in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes.

There wasn't a whole lot of co-op news coming out of the Nintendo Direct on Wednesday. The previously announced Kirby title finally got a name, Kirby Star Allies, and a few already known co-op titles, like Nine Parchments, were shown off, but other than that, the only other semi co-op news was the announcement of a Super Mario Odyssey Switch bundle that will be available to purchase soon.

In the latest Nintendo Direct, an announcement regarding purchasing original Wii games on the Wii U Nintendo eShop was stated. Players can now begin downloading some of their favorites of Wii games through the Wii U Nintendo eShop, some of them including co-op!

Soon Hyrule Warriors will be one of the first Nintendo titles that will be supporting Amiibo figures other than Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Players will be able to unlock a special weapon in-game using the Link Amiibo this November.

Nintendo's latest Nintendo Direct focuses solely on Bayonetta 2, revealing a new costume, as well as a brand new playable character in its co-op mode. Check out some awesome "Tag Climax" mode gameplay and see how playing with a partner will add a new element to the game.

Nintendo's upcoming Zelda title, Hyrule Warriors, looks to be promising for both single-player and co-op experiences. On Monday night, Nintendo released their latest Nintendo Direct video, this time focusing on Hyrule Warriors, so we paid attention to any further co-op details.
