Indie developer Onion Soup Interactive, in collaboration with publisher WhisperGames, has unveiled exciting news for gamers, delivering a double dose of delight. Responding to community and fan base requests, the WarioWare-style minigame collection, SUPER 56, is now infused with couch multiplayer functionality on PC via Steam. Moreover, the developers have announced that work is in progress for the Nintendo Switch version of the game, catering to handheld console enthusiasts.
The addition of couch multiplayer in SUPER 56 opens up a realm of competitive fun, allowing 2 to 8 players to challenge each other in pass-the-controller play. In line with the main game’s ethos, each minigame requires only one button, ensuring accessibility for all players. Customizable game rules, including speed, stage types, and the number of rounds, offer flexibility to suit diverse gaming sessions.
