Two Player Co-Op on one PC?
Will this be 2 player cooperative like the arcade version? Or will it only be online multiplier?

I'm looking for other action games like Monaco that are cooperative and for PC.

It has local co-op. You can even play it on one keyboard, if you don't have anything else available.

Store page says February, nothing more specific unless they updated it since this morning.

Man, I know JUST the controller for this if I'm gonna play local co-op! I have the whole control panel off a NEO-GEO cab[media.giantpachinkomachineofdoom.com], from when I was trying to build one up from parts (Before I found a whole cabinet I could actually acquire.) I used to use it with a single-slot NEO-GEO motherboard and an RGB to VGA adapter to make something I called 'The UNCABINET[media.giantpachinkomachineofdoom.com]' that I could just hook up to any computer monitor, heh. :golden:

Im having a problem with local co-op, im using an eightarc fightstick as P1 and I want to use my 360 controller as P2, but the game doesnt recongize the 360 controller as the 2nd player

Is it recognizing it at all, or...? (From your wording I can't tell if maybe it is, but won't let you make it P2)

Sometimes I wonder why it's so hard for games to just work with any controller that windows can 'see', no questions asked.

Like all those "Oh god, does the game support Xinput or DirectInput APIs?" problems people keep having with PS3 controllers and having to make it emulate a 360 controller for some games...

Meanwhile some games will just randomly work with stuff they're not supposed to... Like I had a game go completely nuts, and it turned out that it was reading input from a currently inactive interface I have for my 6-channel RC controller (For flying drones.) because when nothing's hooked up it gets random analog values.

I have XBOX 360 USB controllers. Will they be compatible? Or will I at least have an option to map the buttons? Also, what date is it coming out exactly? It's February already.

Secondly, you guys should really mention and advertise the 2 player co-op on one screen somewhere on your page. It should say that you can play locally 2 players or 2 players over Steam.

It says on the store page that it has local co-op. Xbox 360 USB controllers are compatible and mappable.

Also the game will most likely be released between mid and late February. It just started the closed beta not too long ago!
