Why does nobody talk about the co-op game section at the Portland Retro Game Expo?

I went last weekend and the whole area was packed with people playing old SNES and Genesis beat 'em ups on CRTs. It made me realize modern games have totally forgotten how to make a simple, fun 4-player brawler. What's the last new couch co-op game you played that actually felt like that?

Remember when my buddy tried to get a new 4-player game going last month? He bought that new dungeon crawler everyone was talking about. We spent an hour just setting up accounts and downloading a day-one patch. Then the tutorial was so long we lost interest before we even got to play together. It just made us dig out the old Sega and play Streets of Rage 2 instead. What modern game has gotten that pick-up-and-play feeling right for you?

But did you guys ever actually go back and try that dungeon crawler again, or was it a one and done thing?
