Should Co-op become default?

[Joelcool7]

Well its taken a little while but Nintendo appears to be realizing that co-op game play is becoming an essential piece of a games campaign. Starting earlier this generation when PS3/360 games started getting co-op default in almost every major game it has become apparent that gamers want to play alongside one another in campaign.

Nintendo was a tad slow to join the co-op revolution but with titles like SmashBros:Brawl, NSMBW, Kirby:EpicYarn, ReturnToDreamland and DKC:R among many other Nintendo titles receiving co-op the question has to be asked should co-op become default in most if not all Nintendo titles in the future? Miyamoto talked during NSMBW's development that he had always envisioned a co-op Mario game where Mario and Luigi interacted with one another.

Nintendo has always been a leader when it comes to multiplayer especially local multiplayer. The N64 was the first console I know of to come with 4 default controller ports. Nintendo always focused on titles like Mario kart, SmashBros, MarioParty among other great multiplayer titles.

With the last generation Nintendo fell behind on online, but with Nintendo's recent drive for co-op titles including the announcement that Luigi's Mansion will be 2 player likely co-op. It seems Nintendo might be headed towards adopting co-op permanently. Would you love to see the majority of Nintendo titles in the future adopt co-op whether it be local co-op (Wii,WiiU) or online co-op (WiiU,3DS).

Do you think a drive towards co-op from Nintendo could help redeem them as a leader in multiplayer experiences yet again?

Think about it a co-op StarFox title where your squadron is all played by friends and you must communicate with each other over com as you take out waves fo enemies. Playing Pokemon and using your friend or friends to access certain areas or complete puzzles.  Maybe some co-op strategic action in Advance Wars 3D. Think about a co-op Pikmin 3 on WiiU wouldn't that be amazing? Co-Op 3D Mario sounds awesome almost every franchise in Nintendo's catalog could be easily upgraded with co-op game play. Any other ideas for awesome Nintendo co-op titles?
