Cadash MOTHERf*ckER.

Dungeon Exploaroaror

Buster Bros (holyf*ckyesdoitnow)

Parasol Stars!

That's basically all you need really.

If some of these aren't 1 player, my bad.   I don't have any friends.

My favorite vs. game on the system is World Class Baseball. I'm not normally into sports games, but this one is a blast for 2 players.

Ohhellyes.  Hi-five for that one, although, Pomping World sounds better IMO.

God I LOVE that game, I'm gonna play it tonight.

Keranu and I once played a tandem all-night Ghost Manor marathon from different countries. It was a fun way to experience the game for the first time. :)

In addition to some of the other fine suggestions, try out Pop 'n' Magic, Puyo Puyo, Splash Lake, Faceball (heh), Monster Lair, and Bonk 3.

Faceball is pretty good shit.  I still need to nab me a rlysrs copy of it

I think Buster Bros, Splash Lake, and Parasol Stars are the best co-op games on the system in terms of being accessible to a wide variety of players with varying skill levels. The action puzzlers are always rockin' awesome.

I've had the most co-op fun playing Monster Lair.

there is salamander too but that might be a little frustrating due to the high difficulty department..

I'll throw in another vote for Bubble Bobble III/Parasol Stars. Back in the day my (ex-)wife and I played all the way through this thing. It gets extra points for actually being Bubble Bobble III, and anyone of our age group that had an NES as a kid (women included) pretty much knows about Bubble Bobble.
