THE GAME OF LIFE 2, the best-selling digital board game by Marmalade Game Studio, is launching on Nintendo Switch. The game is available to preorder on Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch from today!
THE GAME OF LIFE 2 offers a contemporary spin on the original’s winning life simulation formula. With more choices and more freedom, the game works seamlessly across a handful of beautiful, fully animated, 3D boards!
This sequel to the famous board game was released in 2020 on mobile devices and PC (via Steam). Since then THE GAME OF LIFE 2 has received two TIGA Game Industry Award nominations, in the Social Game and Heritage in Games categories, along with praise from both critics and fans. By releasing on Nintendo Switch, Marmalade is bringing this iconic life simulation game to Nintendo for the first time in over 13 years!
THE GAME OF LIFE 2 is a contemporary sequel to the classic THE GAME OF LIFE game, released on mobile devices and PC in 2015. With carefully updated gameplay, Marmalade Game Studio has made the journey much more relatable to our modern times.
For the first time players can win the game by earning more than just money. All choices matter here when they can earn points for Knowledge, Happiness or Wealth. Important crossroad moments also appear throughout the game. Players have more than one opportunity to get married, go for that degree, adopt a pet or achieve different goals entirely, the choice is theirs!
With plenty of decisions to make, players can build their own unique life. Whether it’s becoming a Video Blogger sensation with an army of cats, or a Robotics Engineer with three kids and two degrees, all choices count in THE GAME OF LIFE 2.
What’s more, when players buy the game on Nintendo Switch they’ll be able to venture through two magical worlds. As well as the classic Eco City board, players can choose to live life in the Fairytale Kingdom and Haunted Hills!
Mike Willis CEO of Marmalade Game Studio, said: “Releasing a game on a new platform is always exciting, and it’s even more exciting when the game in question has enjoyed such praise on mobile and PC. The multiplayer options in THE GAME OF LIFE 2 work cross-platform, so we know people on mobile will be challenging their friends on Nintendo Switch. It’s what our games are all about; bringing people together. We chose to make this sequel more reflective of modern times and that’s certainly resonated with fans. We can’t wait to see what the Nintendo Switch audience makes of it.”
Marmalade Game Studio prides itself on connecting players, whether they’re in the same room or hundreds of miles apart. With online and offline options, THE GAME OF LIFE 2 is a safe and easy multiplayer experience, even cross-platform. Players can play together via iOS, Android, PC and now Nintendo Switch!
