So, a friend of mine is coming over this weekend and I'm looking for games with great local co-op using two controllers.

Looking forward to your recommendations! :)
Broforce
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
and
Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine (unfortunately not available on GOG)
I was going to say Jamestown, but it looks like it never actually came to GOG. I must have gotten it on Humble (where it's no longer there, either. :()

Do the Raiden games have local coop? I don't remember.
Never Alone Arctic Collection
Trine 2: Complete Story

I think Saints Row co-op works only on LAN, not sure about that..
Guacamelee
Crimzon Clover
Shovel Knight (with semi-recent update)

Not using controllers, but some Civilization games (and some other turn-based strategy games) have hot-seat multiplayer, where you take turns at the computer.
Broforce is the best
Rayman Origins

Matewis: Rayman Origins
+100.

Trine 1 & 2 are great too.

Enter the Gungeon is perfect for this. It even has a character only available in co-op :)
