Microids and Ocellus Services have released a free Nintendo Switch demo of Marsupilami 2 - Salsa Palombia ahead of the game's full launch on 3 September.
Based on André Franquin's long-running Belgian comic strip, the title is a direct sequel to the 2021 Marsupilami release and continues the series' 2.5D platforming tradition on Nintendo Switch and other platforms.
The demo on the Nintendo eShop gives players an early look at the sequel's core systems.
The game presents four distinct worlds to explore and introduces three playable Marsupilami characters, each with a unique move set intended to encourage replay and discovery.
Local two-player co-op is supported, allowing a second player to join in on the same console.
Rewritten key statements for clarity
- On genre and tone: The game delivers a fast-paced 2.5D platforming experience that intentionally channels the momentum and stage-based design of classic platformers.
- On characters and mechanics: Players can swap between three Marsupilamis to exploit different abilities — ranging from aerial mobility to melee attacks — and to access hidden areas and optional stages.
- On multiplayer and modes: The title supports local cooperative play and includes Battle Dojos and competitive minigames designed for short, replayable sessions.
Verified features and facts
- Release window: The full game is scheduled to launch on 3 September.
The free demo is already available on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch owners to try before buying.
- Developer and publisher: Marsupilami 2 - Salsa Palombia is developed by Ocellus Services and published by Microids.
The property is adapted from André Franquin's Marsupilami comics.
- Pre-order: The full game is available to pre-order at a listed price of £24.99 / $29.99.
- Core structure: The campaign spans four worlds and culminates in boss encounters; the game retains family-friendly, colorful level design consistent with the Marsupilami license.
If you want hands-on time before launch, the Nintendo eShop demo is the official way to sample the game's level design, character switching, and local co-op.
Pre-orders are live now at the prices listed above, and the full build arrives on 3 September.
