It features an adorable 8-bit aesthetic, wonderful chip-tunes, and ten unique mini-games for you and your friends to enjoy together. And dancing animals; it also has dancing animals. This delightful little game launches next week on May 24. Check out the trailer above!

"Super Sportmatchen is an extreme local multiplayer experience that conjures nostalgia of days of yore where the victors are the digital athletes with the fastest fingers, the steadiest hands, and the wittiest trash talk! Choose from six world-class Sportmatchen athletes to compete in ten events for the honor of being named Champion of the Couch!"

The developers over at Kaj Forell Video Game Brand are promising easy to pickup, difficult to master gameplay that gamers of any age or level of skill can pick up quickly.
