Karlstad, Sweden – April 10, 2025 – Clear River Games, a video game publisher specialising in classic and retro games, in conjunction with Korean developer CRT Games, has announced that Snow Bros. 2 Special is available now for Nintendo® Switch™.
Snow Bros. 2 originally launched in arcades in 1994, created by legendary arcade developers TOAPLAN, bringing quirky multiplayer action and fast-paced gameplay to players around the world. This fan-favourite classic has now been remade for Nintendo Switch as Snow Bros. 2 Special over thirty years later, adding brand new features and an all-new enhanced game mode.
Snow Bros. 2 Special doubles the fun, with the sequel allowing up to four players to join forces in co-operative multiplayer, increased from two players in Snow Bros. Wonderland. Taking on a quest to rescue a captured princess, players will fight off on waves of minions across six challenging worlds, each with their own unique stage hazards to overcome, before taking on a fiendish final boss that’ll aim to freeze their progress in its tracks.
Pound enemies with snow to slow them down, eventually turning them into living snowballs ready to be rolled off the screen, taking down further fiends that lie in their path!
Snow Bros. 2 Special includes the original arcade mode for players who want a classic experience, as well as brand new modes such as Survival, Time Attack, and Sky Run which offer unique challenges for even the most experienced fans of the game. A new Monster Challenge mode also allows players to take control of the villains, attempting to clear each stage using their foes’ unique abilities.
Snow Bros. 2 Special Game Features:
Two distinct game styles to enjoy: Play the original 1994 arcade game or switch it up with the all-new enhanced mode!
All new graphical refresh brings our heroes to life like never before!
Local couch multiplayer and online cooperative play for up to four players
An iceberg sized flurry of new content including Survival, Time Attack, Sky Run, and Jumping modes
Power Up the fun with new stages, monsters, bosses, and more!
