Gauntlet Legends

Magicka had local co-op if I am not mistaken.

>>14786989

Yes some of us have them. Now help us socialize but not actually be social and give me some co-op games.

Is Tales series on PS3/Eternal Sonata any good for it?

>>14786830

for Gauntlet Legends, N64, DC, or MAME?

>>14787268

cant believe i forgot about Bomberman, we had a blast with it

>>14787319

we are all wageslaving and we can only make 2-5 hours and also tired on saturdays twice a month

>>14786823

I'd have said "N++", but I'm afraid you'll never git gud enough for it.

>>14787328

Tales series is fun to co-op, and most of the console entries include the option, aside from Phantasia SFC and Legendia. That said, obviously it's going to be more fun if those involved can tolerate/like JRPGs, and co-op is generally restricted to combat (though I want to say some minigames might be co-opable, but it's been a while since I played something like Eternia with it's WHIS game). Also, depending on the game, the requirement to access co-op, manual mode, if not accessible from the start of the game, will require either the Technical Ring (an equip that eats an accessory slot, and of which you'd need one per active party slot to use), or the Manual Manual (a key item which does not eat an equip slot) be found first, though most games since Symphonia avoid having the item requirement. Xillia, Xillia 2, and Zesteria are also somewhat hampered in co-op due to the Link and Armatization systems requiring AI controlled partners to utilize, reducing maximum feasible co-op from four to two (you can still have up to four players, but you won't be able to utilize big parts of the game's combat system without taking them out of control).

The N64 version is far and away the best version of Legends. For Dark Legacy, the question is harder to answer because all the versions had something or other wrong with them.

>>14787610

Arcade > Dreamcast > N64 >>> PS1

Dark Legacy is just a Plus version of Legends anyhow.

>>14787575

was looking into Gang Beasts

didnt know this was schafer's

>>14787722

as publisher he gets a cut

I need new friends to netplay with. All my old friends turned out to be complete degenerates who hated pretty much every game that wasn't AAA trash.

Dungeons & Dragons Heroes on Xbox1

Smash bros

Mario Party

Mario Kart

Beat em up games

>>14786823

Couch multiplayer is an inferior experience for everyone. Just use multiple different PCs.

>>14804936

that would just provoke my friends to play dota instead

>Power Stone

Patrician taste, lad. Bomberman on the older consoles is my suggestion (TG16 and SNES in particular).

>>14786823

Champions of Norrath 1&2 were great local co-ops. Contra Shattered Soldier or NeoContra if you don't mind controller swapping

>>14787681

>Arcade > anything

The arcade Legends and Dark Legacy aren't better than anything. They're infamously cheap games where your health is constantly draining to force you to put in more quarters. People often have this erroneous conception of arcade games as shameless quarter munchers, but the 3D Gauntlet games are some of the few examples that hit the stereotype to a tee. All the console ports are better because they get rid of that asinine bullshit and make the games an actual test of skill.

>>14787268

My friends loved Castle Crashers, but sadly Battleblock Theater is only two players. They even like Stamper/Sleepycast too. Pretty lame.

>>14805234

You can turn that function off. It is possible to beat the game on one quarter with the health drain if you're good enough. Plus holding items in the console versions makes bosses trivial.

>>14787610

>>14787372

N64 is the best, but make sure you have expansion RAM in. The fact that you can STOCK ITEMS makes it the best. Dark Legacy is alright, but if you're gonna play it, softmod a Wii, a Wii will cost you less than the fucking GCN game, or the PS2 with a multitap

>>14815769

Seen a copy around for $12 where I am. Unfortunately, I'd never be able to get what few friends I have left to play it with, on account of the need for GBAs and link cables.

Is the AI at least decent if played solo?

Power Stone 3, when?

Also, play Digimon rumble arena 2.

>>14816027

>AI

It's a mediocre single player RPG unless you go out of your way to set it up with Dolphin and VBA, there's no way in hell I'd recommend it on hardware.

>>14786823

screencheat, i tried that with my brother one time and it was a lot of fun

>>14787575

>X Men Legends

My fucking nigger.

>>14787575

>Mystara

Finally someone with taste

>>14831654

Bomberman became fun with 93 or 94, depending on your preference, after that they're all good right up to the GC where it gets kind of mediocre, I think the last good Bomberman game was 2 for the DS.

>>14831736

I haven't tried the new one yet of course.

>>14786823

Virtua Cops

Bomberman 64

>>14831654

>>14786823

Super Bomberman 1 through 5 on Snes.

Especially 2 and 5. 1 is good to play until the ending with 2 players.
