It inherited the original’s main story of rescuing a princess captured by the devil, and the character design and graphics of the four unique main characters were upgraded to suit a modern style.

    In addition, it supports four-player multiplayer, which was not in the original, and is expected to provide a variety of fun by adding various modes such as original mode, survival mode, time attack mode, and sky run. In particular, the new content “Monster Challenge” allows you to experience the unique pleasure of directly controlling the monsters that appear in the game to overcome the stages. In addition, the overall content volume is increased by adding new stages, boasting even higher quality.

    If you're nostalgic for this quirky series then SNOW BROS. 2 SPECIAL is the game to get as it's bursting with 4-player good times.

    Snow Bros. 2 Special’s inclusion of new character with distinct abilities is an improvement, while the smoothed-out visuals are more of a lateral shift. Less successful are the extensions to boss battles and modes that offer only a modicum of difference.

    If you did have nostalgic love for Snow Bros 2, it would clearly hit you a little harder, though I do have to note that if it’s just the arcade game you want in a legal fashion it is part of the Amusement Arcade Toaplan app too – and there it’s a fair bit cheaper than Snow Bros 2 Special’s asking price too.

    Returning fans from the arcade will get a real kick out of Snow Bros 2 Special, but for everyone else it's a little bit of a tougher sell.

    Perhaps if you like games that combine platforming with a retro run-and-gun loop, you may enjoy it. Unfortunately, all of Snow Bros. 2 Special‘s negative attributes, combined with the fact that it is only three hours long at a price of $30, make it an experience that I cannot recommend.
