I would be more excited if they released it in console form instead of an iPad with a docking station; N64 was basically the perfect form factor -- load games manually (tactilely) and no fussing with bluetooth or controller charging; and prioritize local co-op games instead of online play.

- No cords is really nice.

- Battery life isn’t really a problem on full-sized controllers (and the failure modes are “walk the dog around the block while it charges enough for a couple-hour session” or “it becomes a wired controller for a few minutes”) including the Nintendo ones, just the damn joy-cons. Those do suck, but the basic idea of wireless controllers has proven to be really good, not like the old Wave Bird days.

- The Switch is easily the best local multiplayer modern console AFAIK, including lots and lots of co-op options.

Can you recommend any good co-op options which aren't shooters/fighters/competitive? People often suggest the same 5-6 titles while

I'd like some actual story-based co-op to play with my partner but mainly it's karting, fighting, shooting, farming or partying without any story or co-op at all.

Overcooked is probably best-in-class here. Cooperative zany cooking game. There's a number of derivative titles which are kinda similar if you end up enjoying it.
