Snow Bros. is a 1990 fantasy and platform action arcade video game originally developed by Toaplan.
It was first published in Japan, then in North America by Romstar and later in Europe.
Starring the eponymous snowmen twins Nick and Tom, players are tasked with travelling through 50 stages, throwing and building snowballs, jumping on and off platforms to navigate level obstacles while dodging and defeating monsters in order to rescue the princesses Puripuri and Puchipuchi from captivity.
Although first launched in arcades, the game was later ported across multiple platforms, each one being created by different third-party developers and featuring several changes or additions compared with the original version. Conversions for various microcomputers were in development but none were officially released to the public.
Snow Bros. was met with mostly positive reception from critics and players alike, earning an award from Gamest magazine and gaining a cult following since its initial release. In 1994, a sequel titled Snow Bros. 2: With New Elves was released by Hanafram, serving as the last game by Toaplan prior to their closure.
The rights to the title are owned by Tatsujin, a Japanese company formed by former Toaplan employee Yuge Masahiro. A revival version of the game for the Nintendo Switch was released on May 19th, 2022.
