Months after the release of Super Mario Maker 2 on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo added the ability to play online with friends in an update — a feature it promised during E3 back in June.
“You can now play online with friends in either multiplayer versus or multiplayer co-op modes,” the patch notes read.
The update also adds the ability to use Joy-Cons in a horizontal position, support for the Nintendo Switch Online mobile app (used for matchmaking and voice chat), and “Nearby Play” and “LAN Play” options.
Super Mario Maker 2 sold 2.42 million copies within three days of its June 28 release, so plenty of people are no doubt eager to play online with their buddies.
