Split Screen Co-op Is Dying 362
kube00 writes "Split-screen co-op and local multiplayer are becoming things of the past. What happened to cramming a bunch of gamers into a room with two TVs and doing a system link match in Halo? Where have the all-night GoldenEye matches gone? Like the arcades of gamers' youth, the local multiplayer and co-op bonding experience has been replaced with individual gamers and a network."
Not on the Wii it isn't (Score:5, Informative)
Super Mario Bros Wii supports 4-player co-op. And it seems pretty stupid to ask "Where have the all-night GoldenEye matches gone?" when there's a new GoldenEye game for the Wii that supports 4-player split screen just like the original.

The most popular titles today all have excellent couch co-op and multi features. Examples:
Halo Reach
CoD Black Ops
SMB Wii
SM Cart
Gears of War series
There are also countless local multi games available on services like Xbox Live Arcade and PSN..

Go ahead and find me a fighting game that doesn't have split screen (lookin forward to Marvel vs. Capcom 3 BTW).
Fighting games don't have split-screen, they have same-screen multiplayer.
