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 ...
Shovel Knight, everyone's favorite game about being a knight with a shovel, has been making the digital rounds ever since its initial release in 2014. While it was originally only available on the PC, 3DS, and Wii U, the game eventually made its way to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, all the while amassing a number of expansions and some downloadable content.
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.
The Shovel Knight (now updated to Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove) co-op patch we heard about earlier this year has finally arrived. Now everyone can enjoy the joys of swinging a shovel with a friend!
Developer YachtClubGames have announced that Shovel Knight will be launching on Nintendo's Switch console this March alongside the Specter of Torment DLC. "But Co-Optimus, Shovel Knight doesn't have co-op, why do we care?" Oh-ho-ho! In even better news it's been announced that two player local co-op is coming to Shovel Knight&...
Wii U game libraries are pretty desolate when it comes to co-op experiences. There are a few notable exceptions, of course, but when a new co-op title gets teased for Nintendo's system, people need to be whipped into a frenzy. Case in point: Bandai Namco's teaser for Project Treasure, a co-op action game heading to Wii U!
Rolling out their next Pikmin 3 DLC, Nintendo recently released the “Battle Enemies!” pack on the Wii U console. Take on enemies of all shapes and sizes to grab a spot on the global leaderboards!
Featured in the latest Nintendo Direct, Pikmin 3 has received both its first title update and DLC pack that expanded on the solid co-op modes and the online leaderboard system.
If you are a fan of cooperative games (and you should be, you are visiting Co-Optimus), then chances are you have heard about Guardian Heroes HD. Originally released for the Sega Saturn, Guardian Heroes HD was the remixed version of the Treasure classic. The game is a unique and timeless beat em' up that has stood as a solid game to this day. It is a golden standard by which to measure other games in the genre. This has as much to do with the amazing graphics, music, and animations as it has to do with the underlying game mechanics. This is a thinking man's brawler, particularly on hard mode. It features experience and stat point distribution which can come into play in a large way. Best of all, it sports some very fine cooperative play both online and locally.
Now’s the time to take another crack at ToyLogic’s Happy Wars on XBLA, as the game recently received a hefty and much needed update. It’s free after all, so why the heck not?
This week in Indie-Ana Co-Op we take a look at a puzzle platformer that goes retro in a way that we have not seen before: Gameboy style. Yes, the olive green screen of your youth has returned in all of its 2D glory.
Anyone who owned a Sega Saturn should be excited about Sega’s upcoming HD re-release of Guardian Heroes. And people who didn’t own a Saturn due either to being born too late or making poor life decisions will soon be excited too – all you need to do is watch the new trailer!
