Do we know if there are any couch co-op modes? Even if it's the Salmon Run horde battle. Something. Anything.

For the company that swore up and down that they were holding on to the 4 controller ports to keep the integrity of playing in the same room together, they've pissed on the couch game for a while now.

From what I heard there is a local co-op Salmon Run mode.

Eh?

Every multiplayer games has couch co-op - Snipperclips, Mario Kart, Arms, the incoming Project Flip or whatever.

There's rumors of Odyssey having it too.

Splatoon has it in some modes and not in others, which stinks, but is typical for most multiplayer games.

I have to rescind my snark in previous threads about not being able to find a Switch in store, particularly when NOA said that they would be more prevalent coinciding with Splatoon 2's release.

We played it on launch day Friday at a friend's. Turf War was no biggie, but Salmon Run was unique enough that my wife said she'd buy that as a game itself.

Mrs. Vox and I saw 5 of them (Switch consoles) at a local Target (Woodstock, GA) on Saturday night, and we successfully adulted and left without a Switch.

Then came Sunday, when we saw them at another Target. We did not win. Left with the console and the game. It's been pretty fun so far. I still think it's idiotic that they don't have a single console couch co-op. Everyone has a flat screen HDTV now. Suck it up and go split screen, for Christ's sake. Having to have 8 Switch owners to get in the same room is idiotic.

I don't understand how a company who's so innovative can be so tone deaf to a concepts as simple as couch co-op.
