    "unfortunately there's only local co-op play" I love that though, playing with friends in the same room is a great time, i dont get this aversion unless they're in their own apartment. It's been an unhealthy trend, and we haven't had a ton of fun co-op experiences since ps3/360. Usually that type of fun content has been exclusive to nintendo. I hope there are more couch co-op experiences this generation

      There have only been a handful of times when I noticed the rumble or triggers being put to use in the ways Astro’s Playroom did. A slight resistance and click when using the grappling hook for instance. When playing through Astro’s I was surprised how effective the triggers and rumble were. In Sackboy it’s fine but nothing to write home about. Having a jolly ol’ time with the game though.

      The problem with Nintendo fans is they only play Nintendo games and they are convinced Nintendo invented everything. An example: Breath of the Wild. That game has NOTHING original but is the new Dark Souls of being referenced constantly. Also, no company rips off Nintendo as much as Nintendo itself.
