Now you can go beyond the mind without leaving your physical game behind.

Infinite - Beyond the Mind Physical Release Preorders Now Open at Strictly Limited

A couple of years ago, Blowfish Studios released a charming action platformer called Infinite - Beyond the Mind. Infinite features an attractive 16-bit style, fast-paced gameplay focused on melee combat, and 2-player local co-op. Now that the digital version has been out for a while on all platforms, Strictly Limited Games is gracing Infinite with physical editions for PlayStation and Switch. What's more, these editions will be offered with two different covers: one featuring each of the game's heroines.

The fantasy board game adventure is cross-play between PC, VR, and the upcoming PlayStation versions.

Demeo Graduates from Steam Early Access, Is Also Coming to PlayStation 5 in February

In 2021, Resolution Games released Demeo, a VR game, to Steam Early Access. The game soon received a non-VR edition called Demeo: PC Edition which finally graduated from Early Access (and received a new campaign) in December. Demeo is a "cross platform cooperative adventure" that looks and plays like a fantasy-themed board game. Now that the full game has been released, I jumped at the chance to try it out in both 2-player and 4-player online co-op.

Volley Pals Will Bring Cartoony, Co-op Volleyball to Consoles and PC This Quarter

Sports games are competitive in nature, but that doesn't mean they can't be cooperative as well. The upcoming Volley Pals, from indie developer NAISU (maker of Mokoko X and several upcoming games), adapts the sport of volleyball while also allowing two local players to compete against an AI team. That's how you do it, folks! Preorders for the Xbox version of Volley Pals opened up this week, and Switch preorders are soon to follow.

Happy New Year 2023!

Co-Op Monthly Round-Up for December 2022

It is done. 2022 is over and we wish you a happy new year. 2023 is special to us because Co-Optimus celebrates its 15th Anniversary. On January 28th 2008, the site finally went public. But that's a topic for a different news item. We're instead here to talk about December 2022, a month our very own arcade aficionado, , enjoyed very much thanks to releases like New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja, River City Girls 2, Jitsu Squad, and Bubble Bobble for Nintendo Switch. Otherwise, it was actually a rather quiet month with "only" around 42 new releases. So at least during the holidays we did have a bit of time to work on that dreaded backlog before the madness continues in the new year.

TMNT: Shredder's Revenge Gets Custom Games Feature and New Video Filters

When it comes to 2022's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games from Konami and Dotemu, it seems like the two titles are always trying to outdo each other. One game gets a trailer; the other game gets a trailer. TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection gets an update; TMNT: Shredder's Revenge gets an update. While today's Shredder's Revenge update isn't as earth-shattering as the one The Cowabunga Collection just got, it does add a cool Custom Game feature that will make Arcade mode a lot more fun, plus some video filters for people who want the game to look less pristine.
