As of today, and after a short delay, the popular adventure game Cave Story+ has finally received co-op mode on the Nintendo Switch.

Originally released back in June, Cave Story+ is a retro-style action/adventure game about an amnesiac protagonist. After discovering a mysterious land, our young hero vows to protect the helpless creatures who live there.

The latest update comes free on the Switch and lets you work with another player to wreak havoc through the levels. By picking up co-op mode from the beginning, you'll be able to choose the look of your second character as seen in ContraNetwork's video below.

Though you'll start with a choice of different character skins, it looks like you'll be able to unlock more as you go through the game - including the cute-but-spunky Sue.

If you've got the game already, head on over to the Switch eShop to get the free update.
