Your Opinion: The best 2+ player games on the system
« on: March 27, 2011, 04:50:00 AM »
Apart from Bomberman?

I guess Street Fighter is in there.  Any particularly good 2 player shoot em ups?  Pop and Twinbee?

UNIVERSAL: Dungeon Explorer I & II are probably the most fun I've had in old-skoolness.

ME: I've had a blast with Wonderboy III (Monster Lair), but both people need to have skills to get far. Same goes for Buster Bros., which is lots of fun.

MENTALLY CHALLENGED (ME): I've had a stupid amount of fun with MotoRoader. I suppose you need to get a bunch of folks together and see if they dig it.

AeroBlasters is the shoot-em-up I've had the most fun with playing 2-player co-op (you have a special weapon when working together!m), but both folks should be decent skill-wise, otherwise you just eat through continues.

esteban summed up the best of the rest. Monster Lair is surprisingly fun as a two player game and every girlfriend I've introduced it to loved it.

There are plenty of good ones, but three of my favorites are Double Dungeons, Asuka 120%, and Puyo Puyo CD.

Get out of my frigging head dude.  I was going to say all 3 of those.  Asuka 120% is soooo badass.  The gameplay is perfect in that game.  Playing Asuka 120% shows what is wrong with fighters of today.

I forget since I have no friends, but isn't Buster Bros. 2 player also?   That games great as well.

Probably had the most fun having friends over to play either Motoroader or Cadash.

SF2 is the best 2-player tournament fighter not so much because it's arguably the best on the system (and it is), but because the CD load times on all the other games really kill the mood when sitting around with a friend.  Godzilla loads reasonably fast, but the ACD discs are atrocious.  The time it takes to configure my system selectors, hook up a Duo Tap, fish out the special 6-button controllers, make three attempts to get the Arcade Card to work in the Miria converter, and then finally load World Heroes 2 is the same amount of time it takes for the "yeah-let's-play-video-games!" enthusiasm to wear off.

AeroBlasters is the shoot-em-up I've had the most fun with playing 2-player co-op (you have a special weapon when working together!m), but both folks should be decent skill-wise, otherwise you just eat through continues.
Word.  Aeroblasters is the best, but Ordyne and Psychic Storm are better when playing with friends who don't know a shooter from a hole in the ground.  Two-player Sapphire is good, but the screen gets a little busy for my taste.

Double Dragon II. Awesome version of a great franchise. What could be more fun than beating the crap out of some baddies with a friend?

I actually prefer 1, but that's mainly because I don't like the graphical changes made to part 2.  I have never played MC though, and it looks awesome.  It is on the top of my needs list (with Coryoon).

Back to the topic at hand: Bubble Bobble 3: Parasol Stars is a great time with 2 players. The only time I've ever beaten the game, was playing 2 player with my wife.
