Just a quick announcement to say that upcoming mini-game collection SUPER 56 is now available to play during the Steam Next Fest. The aim of SUPER 56 is to get the best score possible by completing each stage as fast as you can. Sounds easy, right? Think again... The demo will feature 10 of the craziest stages that will challenge your ability as a gamer in a variety of different genres, but the twist is your only allowed to use ONE BUTTON!!! Here are some examples of the stages you'll face: Yoga pose your way through oddly shaped holes in a wall (sound familiar?), button mash a keyboard shoot apples off a guys butt with a bow and arrow, drive around a track through checkpoints and be a totally. normal. slow. hedgehog and collect apples in a truly nostalgic and 90s way. Still want to take on the challenge? Play 10 of the craziest stages as fast as you can, try not to die, and get your best score on the global leaderboard on SUPER 56. Outlandish, genre-bending fun awaits you! We cannot wait for you to try the demo, you may see some familiar faces in the demo too (we couldn't forget about our Nippon Marathon friends).

What we didn't know was that the 30th September was Truth and Reconciliation Day - A Day that honours victims and survivors of Canada's residential schools, which sought to forcefully assimilate indigenous children in which the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) were involved. Here is some more information on Truth and Reconciliation Day: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/first-national-truth-reconciliation-day-1.6188540 A member of our Discord channel brought this to our attention and we wish to make sure that Nippon Marathon remains a fun experience for everyone. We're sorry, we were unaware of something that is very important to many families. Our ignorance is not an excuse and we have taken time to reflect upon this. We want to ensure that Nippon Marathon and future games are fun for everyone and is never meant to be offensive. This has caused us to take a step back and evaluate all of our NM2 characters, as the last thing we want to do is cause offence. In the original Nippon Marathon, we never assigned nationalities and we made sure that all the characters were voiced by individuals of different races and gender. We take this all very seriously. In regards to Benton and Tony, we will be withdrawing them from the NM roster. If you or anyone you know are experiencing pain or distress as a result of their (or someone they knows) Residential school experience, then please get in touch with the Indian Residential School Survivors Society (https://www.irsss.ca/) We made a donation to the IRSSS this afternoon, consider making a donation to the IRSSS too. Everyone reading this should feel free to talk to me or Amy about this or anything else. We are a safe space and our door is always open. You can DM us on our company Twitter (https://www.twitter.com/OnionSoupLtd), my personal Twitter (https://www.twitter.com/MonAmieMadin), our discord (https://discordapp.com/invite/SpsyEHs), or even via email ([email protected]) Thank you All hail a Nippon Marathon 2 update (and much more)Sep 30, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone, Firstly we would like to apologise for the radio silence from us. We thought we would provide you all with an update regarding all things Onion Soup Interactive, including Nippon Marathon 2. BOSS BATTLE - FIBROMYALGIA In October 2020 I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, I’d been suffering with the illness for quite a long time prior to this under the impression it was an old neck injury from 2008, but after the symptoms worsened and the illness’ characteristic chronic pain and fatigue became unbearable the doctors finally gave me a label that I could work with. By this point it had become almost impossible to work on UEDI: Shadow of the Citadel, each day I was able to do less and less until I couldn't work on the game at all, heck I couldn’t even finish a meal at the dining table without going for a lie down, taking a ton of painkillers and sleeping for as long as my body demanded (or, ironically, laid awake, super tired and totally incapable of sleep). At its worst, the illness put me in constant physical pain, reduced my brain to mush and deprived me of sleep, sometimes for weeks at a time without any kind of reprieve. I have a pretty strong work ethic, but since creating Onion Soup Interactive with Amy my desire to work on games is so strong that it’s been really tough to sit on the sidelines and try to focus on getting better. Fibromyalgia sufferers have a lot of trouble focussing on complex tasks and game design is really, really complex. For a while I tried really hard to fight through it, but it really isn’t possible to do that. I had to take a time-out, even if it lasted for a whole year… or longer. Our wonderful friends in the Onion Soup Discord Server have been very supportive of us, they’ve insisted that health comes before work, no matter what and I’m really happy and proud of our community. If you don't know already, Fibromyalgia makes the body produce excess cortisol (the stress hormone) and prevents the body from creating serotonin (the happiness hormone). You can imagine how taxing this is on mental health, Amy continues to do an amazing job of helping me through it. I know it isn’t easy for her. Amy, my parents, and our dog help keep my mental health in check. If you’re suffering with any form of mental health issue I absolutely insist that you must find some kind of help and support. You might spend a lot of time thinking the loneliest and darkest thoughts but making a genuine human connection with someone who really cares can help you drag yourself out the deepest of holes, I promise! Since then I’ve tried so many things to help ease the symptoms of the illness, I cut gluten, caffeine, sugar and alcohol from my diet (my favourite things used to be coffee, pizza, whiskey and salted caramel brownies😭 😭 😭 . I had one year of weekly physiotherapy, 6 months of acupuncture, opioids, anti-inflammatories, supplements, exercise routines, meditation, and osteopathy. You name it, i’ve probably done it! I’m writing a detailed...Cool off with the Steam Summer Sale – get up to 90% off PQube Games!Jun 25, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsAh, summer.

Online matchmaking, PS4 support and custom character skins are coming to Nippon Marathon 2! Online Mode Play just for fun in Casual Versus or try to be the best in the world by improving your rank in Competitive Versus. You'll be glad to know the Go-Go Trolley Bowling and L.O.B.S.T.E.R party games are making a return with online capability too. This is a game-changer for fans of online party games. We've felt that Nippon Marathon has always been the closest thing to a Takeshi's Castle (MXC) or Total Wipeout video game, and the inclusion of online support will bring the game to a much wider audience and be fun for everyone to play! Kickstarter Exclusive Custom Skins We've previously mentioned this before, but the in-game shop will be stocked full of custom items and character skins for you to unlock, hopefully adding to the Nippon Marathon experience. Backers will automatically receive exclusive "BAKA" branded skins for all main characters and an exclusive nameplate for use online. A preview of these can be seen in the video above. YAY! PS4 Support Announced The two-person team has been inundated with calls to bring Nippon Marathon 2 to Playstation following the first game's success on PS+ Japan earlier this year. Fans will be happy to know that Onion Soup Interactive has added support for the platform to its development schedule. Please share share share this with everyone you know! I know a lot of fans were holding out for this one, so please share this news with everyone you can. We want to shout from the rooftops that NIPPON MARATHON 2 HAS ONLINE MODE!

So that's everything for now! Amy & Andy First Celebrity Announcement, Campaign Update, and our very first CompetitionOct 7, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsNippon Marathon Celebrity Announcement As you might have seen in our campaign, we are introducing a new feature; "Celebrity Special Progress Report". In this feature our very own Abe Watanabe is hosting a chat show with some famous faces. These celebrities will give out challenges before the race and can award bonuses or penalties to players. So with that being said, we are incredibly excited to announce our first celebrity, Hideaki Kobayashi, or Uncle Sailor, is joining the Nippon Marathon family. To learn more, and learn how YOU can join the team of celebrity guests, then read the full update on our Kickstarter Campaign Page . A Thank You From The Devs As always we'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has pledged so far. We are already at 45% and hope you help us reach 50% in the next couple of days. We have recorded a video to say thank you as well as introduce you to our competition. Remember you must be a backer to be entered automatically into this competition. So back the campaign now and grab a real collectors item: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/onionsoupinteractive/nippon-marathon-2?ref=1wzjsn Gain Exclusive Rewards with Backer Club {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32089526/d0097df958d4ba9f19915ad7f29004e51632bb9f.png We have partnered with BlackerClub, a Kickstarter Partner where you receive an exclusive bonus if you pledge through their website. Through BackerClub, receive a free signed copy of Nippon Marathon 1 when you spend more than $ 99 (free worldwide shipping). Although we have the signed NM1 game as a competition, if you want to guarantee your copy, then make a pledge through BackerClub Add-ons Update As some of you have noticed, we've had a few issues with add-ons, where physical add-ons were not being displayed when a digital only reward was chosen. We have now fixed this, so you should see the add-ons for the posters, OST & T-shirt when you chose a digital only reward. You may notice that the price has changed, due to how Kickstarter processes physical and digital rewards, we have had to merge the postage costs into the add-on price If you were able to chose a physical add-on before today, then the price has not been changed. There has been no change to the digital add-ons. There has also been some issues with early bird backers who wanted to purchase the "Design a Placard" add-on. Some of you have been unable to amend your original pledge, as the early bird is no longer available. So if you want the placard add-on and you chose early-bird, then we are working on a work-around so that you can still purchase the add-on once the campaign ends. Again we may sound like a broken record but we really do appreciate everything you have done for us! If your haven't pledged already, then please back our campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/onionsoupinteractive/nippon-marathon-2?ref=9gn77n Stay tuned for more updates, including the opportunity for you to choose the next course, where will it be???

What was inside... ***drumroll please*** NEW CHARACTER: REIWA MAN {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32089526/d62f9e56011274fc752138a3e817bfa92c1c1cc7.jpg Amazing! The first chest contained a brand new payable character! Now that Snuguru has released Reiwa Man from the chest we will add him to our development schedule. But who is Reiwa Man? Well, his real name is Reiwa Aonuma and he's from the Oita prefecture of Japan. He is a 21 year old junior tax collector. His hobbies include organising pencils by their smell. Reiwa Man was bullied at school because of his unusual name but in 2019 the Heisei era came to an end and the Reiwa era began. Reiwa Man was so happy that his unusual name has become famous that he gained a new level of confidence. Now he has entered the Nippon Marathon to show off his famous name and prove to everyone everyone that tax collectors can be heroes to NEW IN-GAME ITEM: French Bread {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32089526/2bbedddd549024e716b6a7a829aabc31a40629c5.jpg Ahh the smell of freshly baked French Bread! There's nothing else like it. Well done everyone, you've unlocked a new in-game item. The French bread can be thrown, though this is mostly useless (unless your throw it to some ducks for popularity points). This French bread really deserves to be eaten. This item can be eaten three times before it's used up, giving you three speed boosts. It's a great item to get you back in the race if you're lagging behind. Let's help Snuguru reach chest 3 by playing Snuguru's Mystery Quest! Chest 1: OPENED: New Character: Reiwa Man Chest 2: OPENED: New In-Game Item: French Bread Chest 3: 150 retweets of pinned tweet required to open chest!

You're welcome ːsteamhappyːPlay Nippon Marathon Online & Win Free Steam Keys!Oct 26, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsWedy here, Have you heard about the new feature Steam published on their Beta Software last week? I'm sure you have, but for the individuals who haven't, It's called Steam "Remote Play Together", which converts local multiplayer to online multiplayer. As you probably can imagine, playing Nippon Marathon online has been the developers most asked question. They’d love to give you a full online mode, but unfortunately it’s unlikely that this version of Nippon Marathon will be made online. Unless, you know, the developers get struck by lighting and win the lottery (it could happen), which would pay for the dev costs associated with online play. But in the meantime, whilst the developers are walking around with umbrellas in heavy lighting storms, Remote Play Together offered by Steam maybe the next best thing. Plus using Steam’s new feature, you can be-friend and play against the developers themselves. They’re eager to start challenging you to races. HOW TO OPT-IN AND PLAY NIPPON MARATHON ONLINE But there’s one problem; do you know how to opt-in for the Steam Beta or make sure your controllers for Nippon Marathon are correct?
