Suika Game getting online multiplayer support this week

Online multiplayer support for Suika Game now has a release date. According to an eShop listing, it’ll be ready to go on May 23, 2024.

Suika Game previously released its Main Game & Multi-Player Mode DLC following a Nintendo Direct earlier in the year. Players could access new local multiplayer modes in that pack, but online multiplayer support was promised for a later date. Now that feature is just a couple of days away.

Here’s some information about the different modes in the DLC:

“Original” is the usual Suika Game, and the player with the highest score wins. Once the box is full, play ends at that point. If the other side’s score is higher, you win at that point. If you are losing, continue playing. Can you catch up to your opponent?!

“Time Limit” is a 5-minute intense competition, and the player with the highest score wins. When the rainbow gauge runs out, Poppy will drop fruits on her own, so you’ll need to make decisions faster than usual!

In “Attack,” the winner is the one who ends the opponent’s game. On every 5th attempt, you can send “sinking” fruit to your opponent’s box. Sending a big fruit would surely turn things around!

The Suika Game Multi-Player Mode Expansion Pack can be purchased on the Switch eShop for $2.25. If you’re a new player, you can pick up the Suika Game Main Game & Multi-Player Mode DLC bundle for $5.24. Note that in order to access online multiplayer in Suika Game, a membership to Nintendo Switch Online is required.
