EA Originals' cooperative adventure It Takes Two has finally arrived on Nintendo Switch after a lengthy delay. The game, which debuted on other platforms in 2021, emphasizes teamwork between players controlling a couple turned into dolls. It became available on the Switch starting November 4, 2022.
It Takes Two, developed by Hazelight Studios—the team behind the acclaimed co-op title A Way Out—offers a unique blend of humor, action, and puzzle-solving in a split-screen format. Players take on the roles of Cody and May, a couple whose crumbling relationship leads them to mysteriously awaken as dolls in their own home. To return to normal and mend their bond, they must collaborate through vibrant, unpredictable worlds filled with challenges and mini-games.
Originally released on March 26, 2021, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC at a price of €39.99, the game quickly achieved commercial success, selling over one million copies in its first month. The Nintendo Switch version, long anticipated by fans, launched on November 4, 2022, bringing the experience to handheld play. Teamwork is central: the game requires simultaneous play, with each character gaining unique powers at different stages to overcome obstacles. Communication and support are key, as leaving a partner behind means failure.
For those without a local co-op partner, an online mode allows connection with friends outside the household. The trailer's depiction of a fantastic yet dangerous world highlights the need for creative thinking to solve puzzles and navigate dangers. As the description notes, 'Hand in hand, you'll face the challenges together... Actually, better keep your hands on the controllers.' This release expands access to It Takes Two's heartfelt narrative and engaging gameplay for Switch owners.
