That may be your experience, my partner and I use it co-op on every game that has it and watch each other play singleplayer, so it’s almost never out of the dock. I imagine many families with multiple kids and not enough budget to get everyone their own would do the same.

Because the number of people who won’t buy it because of the LCD screen is smaller than the number of additional people who will buy it if it’s $X cheaper at launch.

I don’t seem to be able to reply to WookieMunster so I’ll say here:

I don’t get the hype over OLED screens, honestly. The difference isn’t enough for me to care, and it’ll be plugged into a TV most of the time anyway. It’s only a downgrade in that one area and only if you have an OLED Switch, whereas I don’t have any kind of Switch and couldn’t tell you which model my husband’s (the one I’ve played) is.

I’ll maybe believe a release date when it’s actually announced,. Maybe. Though I already know I’m buying the Switch successor if it’s backwards compatible with Switch games, so it would be nice if this article turned out to be true.

Would definitely recommend, it’s proper co-op (in the sense of both players having the same game experience, not the sense of needing to actually cooperate). I’m terrible at platformers so I find it challenging, an actually competent player would probably find it generally easy.

I’m loving it, though it’s not as fun as Pikmin 3 Deluxe was. My husband and I played co-op and we dandori’d the fuck out of that game, it was awesome. For 4 we’re taking turns doing a day/night each, haven’t tried the “co-op” yet because it sounds incredibly lame.

Oatchie makes the game so much easier. For better and worse, but I think more better than worse, I basically just treat him as a noble steed to take advantage of not having to worry about stragglers.
