3D Platformer Suggests Release of Nintendo Switch 2

There’s a buzz in the gaming community about the potential arrival of a native version of the 3D platformer “Ruffy and the Riverside” on the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. Recent hints suggest that the game’s developers might be gearing up for this, aligning with the widespread belief that Nintendo’s next-generation console might hit shelves as soon as June, which is just a few months away.

All eyes are on Wednesday, April 2, when Nintendo has scheduled a special Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation set for 8:00 am CT. During this event, Nintendo plans to shed some light on various aspects of the new console, including its price, release date, pre-order details, and game lineup. For fans eager to know more, this is an event not to be missed.

Although Nintendo has been secretive about the lineup of games for the Switch 2, some developers have dropped hints about adapting their offerings to the new platform. Among these is “Ruffy and the Riverside,” a new 3D platformer poised for a June 26 debut. The announcement noted that the game would be released on “Nintendo Switch(es),” subtly hinting at a version for the Switch 2 alongside the original Switch.

The phrasing of “Nintendo Switch(es)” fuels speculation about the Switch 2’s release date, suggesting it might launch by June 26 if the game releases on both consoles that day. However, it’s wise to temper expectations until Nintendo officially confirms the release details.

While many anticipate a summer launch for the Switch 2, it’s important to acknowledge that plans could shift, potentially pushing the release to later in the year. Until Nintendo provides definitive information, fans can only speculate about the release timeline and game availability. Fortunately, with the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct just around the corner, the wait for more clarity is nearly over.

In the meantime, “Ruffy and the Riverside” is gearing up for release on various platforms. Besides the Switch versions, gamers can look forward to its availability on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on June 26, making it easy for platformer enthusiasts to plan their gaming schedules.
