Do I need two sets of joy cons for it takes two?

Yes, for It Takes Two on Nintendo Switch, you need two separate controllers for each player, meaning either two pairs of Joy-Cons (four total) or one Joy-Con pair plus another full controller (like a Pro Controller) per player, because the game requires two joysticks for movement and camera control and doesn't work well with single, sideways Joy-Cons. You can use two Joy-Cons as one controller, but the game needs two full controller setups for two players.

Do you need to buy a second controller for Nintendo Switch?

You don't need a second controller for basic 2-player games, as the included Joy-Cons can be used individually (one per player), but buying more (like a Pro Controller or extra Joy-Cons) is highly recommended for comfort and more complex games, especially for 3-4 players or if you want better ergonomics.
