The indie gaming news has been flying out of Nintendo’s event today at a rapid-fire pace. One of the announcements came from rhythm game Ratatan<\/em>, which will release on July 16. The title will be arriving that day on the Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X\/S. It’s already been available on PC since September as an early access game.<\/p>\n 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.”<\/p>\n We first got our hands on Ratatan<\/em> 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<\/em> brings some roguelite and RPG customization into the mix along with the familiar rhythm mechanics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
