I'm having a hard time here.
I'm trying to find a good MP coop game that isn't a shooter for either the Wii or 360.
These two systems are outside of my realm (hell I only have 1 game for the Wii), so any suggestions is appreciated.

Wii play for the Wii has one target shooting game and one tank game, but there are a few coop games there as well
Castle Crashers, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade are all side-scrolling co-op beat-em-ups. Any of the LEGO games are great fun when played co-op. Sacred 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance are pretty good Diablo-like hack and slash games. While most people either love or hate the Fable series, the co-op is generally considered to be pretty good.
You can check out a large list of co-op games at this site:

When does this comes out on the 360? This game is actually perfect for the audience I have in mind.
I don't know if there have been any dates announced.
It's gonna be awhile, though, it was revealed at E3.
Damn...that's a little too late.
Anyways, to give more background, this is a game for a couple who games a lot and haves their birthdays at around the same time. So this me being cheap and trying to get a gift that they can share together.
Unfortunately, one of the gamer really can't do FPS's. I think she's fine with third person shooters, but I don't think she's really into those kind of games. She's more into Cavestory like sidescrollers and Secret of Mana type RPG's. The other gamer enjoy games of all type.
It's even thematically perfect for couples.
Haven't seen it recommended, but Splosion Man is very good for co-op as well.

The hell, that game is coop? No wonder I am so bored playing it by myself.
Anyways any Diablo type game (Torchlight is on 360 right? No idea if they added coop for it, but there are others like Marvel) is amazing, TNMT from the NES is on the arcade as well.
Unfortunately no coop on 360 Torchlight. D&D Daggerdale is a recent XBLA title with coop, but had a lot of bad reviews and I wasn't sold with the demo. Dungeon Siege 3 is coming out this week and will have coop.
Just reiterating what others have said really. My wife and I had a lot of fun with the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games and all of the Lego games. New Super Mario Bros Wii is great if you want to break them up. Pretty much any Rock Band is good, but quite an investment if they don't already have instruments -- and of course always more fun with more people. Splosion Man was good, but can get frustrating if one or the other isn't good at platforming. Could never really get my wife into the coop in Fable 2, so not sure on that.
is that a good coop?
Though, i think it might be a bit too 'hardcore' for them....if Monster Hunter Portal was anything to go off of.
Spelunky HD comes out in a few months. Side scrolling randomly generated dungeon platformer. 4player coop.
You could buy them a points card and give them some recommendations for games.
Look into the racing games department as well, but becareful, alot only have online for some reason. Sega allstar racers isn't terrible, I hear.
Little big planet is still an option. Hmm Portal 2, Splosion man is a quirky little title that I'm pretty sure you can get on PSN. It looks like you already have scott pilgrim vs the world, but brawlers like castle crashers and Double Dragon are great too. Super Stardust HD also has a Co-op mode.
How much do you want to avoid Wii games? Because there's a much nicer library of co-op games for the wii...
All I can really think of for the PS3 are downloadables. There are just alot more quirky, fun, co-op downloadable titles... But I suppose it doesn't make much of a present. Still, just throwing out options...
Done.
Just to get it straight, you want a Co-op game for the Wii or 360 that is not a shooter?
If so, do they have Wii Sports resort, or Mario kart, or Mario Party? because thats pretty much endless fun.
Accept no substitutes.
Aaanyway, for the WII or 360 you can get Super Mario Bro's Wii. Sonic Colors has a short story and alot of co-op missions. Then there's plenty of great games for download as well like Contra Rebirth. It's sort of a side scroller shooter, but it's 16 bit and classic and good old fashion fun, so it may or may not work for you. You can play Co-op in Super Smash bro's. There's also Zelda the four swords which is Co-op. But that would be a tough find, though Zelda collectors edition would be a fantastic gift, and I think that's in there.
The other ones I've played coop have already been mentioned, Marvel UA, Castle Crashers, any Lego game, Scott Pilgrim,
Isn't the coop in that pretty archaic though? Like one player doesn't get to keep any progress and its kind of like the fable 2 system? Doesn't sound like very fun coop (going off of the PA comic a few days ago and other impressions i'd heard).
It's $15 on XBLA.
3DS FC: 4699-5714-8940 Playing Pokemon, add me! Ho, SATAN!
Yeah, PA just did a comic two days ago explaining exactly why DS3 is a terrible choice for co-op.
