The big yellow-and-black spotted troublemaker is officially back in action: Marsupilami 2: Salsa Palombia has landed on Nintendo Switch today, and it’s bringing friends along for the ride this time.
What happened
Marsupilami 2: Salsa Palombia dropped on the Switch eShop today, giving players immediate access to a colorful 2.5D platformer built around rescuing Palombia from the clutches of the Mummy Queen. Unlike the usual one-hero setup, this sequel lets up to three players jump in together through local co-op, hopping between characters and their own quirky abilities as you push through each level.
Why it matters
Local co-op platformers have gotten rarer on Switch outside of the big first-party names, so a licensed franchise leaning into couch multiplayer is a nice change of pace. Marsupilami has always been about that stretchy-tail, bouncy movement that plays well with a controller, and building the whole game around sharing that with two other people on the couch is a smart way to stand out from the usual solo indie platformer crowd. It’s also a good pickup for parents looking for something colorful and non-violent to play alongside younger kids.
What to expect
Expect a light, breezy platforming experience rather than a punishing challenge — the Marsupilami series has always leaned family-friendly, with bright 2.5D visuals, cartoonish enemies, and level design built around exploration and physical gags more than precision jumps. If you’re coming in solo, the game should still hold up fine, but the real selling point here is grabbing a couple of extra Joy-Cons and tackling Palombia’s rescue as a trio.
