Switch Gets More Wacky Minigames with SUPER 56
In 2023, WarioWare: Move It! arrived on the Nintendo Switch, bringing back the crazy world of wacky minigames. Fans of that experience may be interested in checking out SUPER 56, set to release on the Switch later this year, promising to be just as off-the-wall.
Developed by indie team Onion Soup Interactive and published by WhisperGames, SUPER 56 features a collection of one-button minigames (a total of 56) where you can drive, fish, date, catch, and generally have a lot of fun. While it may not reach the same level of absurdity as the WarioWare series, that might not be a bad thing.
Similar to its source of inspiration, SUPER 56 is packed with references. In the trailer, we caught glimpses of Punch Out!!, Ace Attorney, a Game Boy, Doom, and more. Get ready to start creating those DiCaprio pointing at the screen memes.
The game was initially launched on Steam in the late previous year and has garnered “Very Positive” reviews. Although the Switch release date is currently uncertain, with a tentative timeframe of “Q3 2024,” we’ll be on the lookout for more details in the months ahead.
