It Takes Two is a co-op-only action-adventure platformer that won Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2021. The Switch version is a full port optimized for the platform.
Q: Can I play It Takes Two on Yuzu or Ryujinx (PC Switch emulators) using an NSP? A: Yes, technically. However, It Takes Two is notoriously glitchy on emulators due to the dual-renderer requirements (rendering both players' screens simultaneously). You will need a very powerful PC, and online co-op via emulators is almost impossible without LAN tunneling.
Q: Is there an "It Takes Two Switch NSP" that includes the latest update? A: Scene groups like SUXXORS and Venom have released updates. As of late 2024, the most stable update is v1.0.2. But again, these are piracy-only files. Any site claiming to have "v1.2.0" is likely lying.
Q: Will my hacked Switch be banned if I install the NSP in airplane mode? A: Possibly. Nintendo bans retroactively. If you ever connect to the internet after having the NSP installed (even if you delete it), the error log remains. Once a banned console, always banned.
When the It Takes Two Switch NSP was first leaked/dumped, the community held its breath. The game runs on the Unreal Engine 4, which historically doesn't always play nice with the Switch's Tegra X1 chip.
The Verdict: A miraculous port.
Visual Cutbacks: To fit the NSP below 7GB, textures have been compressed. You will notice muddy details on Rose’s clothes and less foliage in the garden level. However, the split-screen remains fully functional, and the art direction remains intact.
