Bud Spencer & Terence Hill - Slaps And Beans 2 Special Edition (Nintendo Switch)

There's something deeply correct about playing a Bud Spencer and Terence Hill game on a system you can bring to the couch. The Bud Spencer and Terence Hill Slaps And Beans 2 Special Edition for Nintendo Switch delivers the sequel's slapstick beat-em-up action in a package designed by Renato Casaro, the artist whose brushwork defined how an entire generation pictures these two legends.

Slaps And Beans 2 sends Bud and Terence from an African shipwreck through Miami, underground fight circuits, and a banana-fueled conspiracy that gets more absurd with every stage. The combat system has been rebuilt with signature abilities for each hero, and Oliver Onions returned to compose the soundtrack, which means the music hitting your ears is from the same duo who scored the original films. Voice acting in English, Italian, German, and Spanish gives every cutscene the proper flavor.

Two-player couch co-op through the story mode is where this shines brightest, and a dedicated four-player party mode turns mini-games into their own event. The Switch's portable format means you can bring the slapping anywhere, which feels philosophically aligned with Bud and Terence's approach to conflict resolution.

The Special Edition contents include Casaro's artwork gracing the box, a reversible poster, an artbook, postcards, sticker sheet, the game with reversible cover, a manual, and an inflatable punching bag with air pump. It's the kind of package that understands its audience perfectly. If you grew up watching these two turn bar fights into performance art, your shelf already has a spot cleared for this.
