Wedy 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. [h1]HOW TO OPT-IN AND PLAY NIPPON MARATHON ONLINE[/h1] 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? Well don’t fret, Wedy has you covered: [previewyoutube=cD4wOroUcy8;full][/previewyoutube] [h1]OPT-IN STEAM BETA[/h1] [olist] [*] To access Let's Play Together you must enable Beta Participation in your Steam client.
