Ratatan is marching its way into your console library on July 16

Unfortunately, readers may notice that the original Switch isn’t on that list, which is not an oversight. “At this time, we have determined that the multiplayer experience on Nintendo Switch has not yet reached the quality level we aim to deliver,” the team said in a post on Steam. “As a result, we have decided not to proceed with a Nintendo Switch version for now.”

We first got our hands on Ratatan during Summer Games Fest 2025. Although the studio of Ratata Arts may not sound familiar, this group includes several devs from team that created the Patapon games, a series that began in 2007. That lineage is clear in the core concept and in the slightly brain-breaking level of attention required to keep your little army of Cobuns in sync and on beat. Ratatan brings some roguelite and RPG customization into the mix along with the familiar rhythm mechanics.
