Ruffy and the Riverside releases on Nintendo Switch June 2025

The indie game "Ruffy and the Riverside" is set to be released on the Nintendo Switch on June 26, 2025. This hand-drawn 3D platformer was first announced last year by the German developer Zockrates Laboratories. There is speculation that this game may also be available on the upcoming Switch 2, expected to launch later this year. The press release mentions "Nintendo Switch(es)," which hints at additional platforms possibly being included. This isn't the first time developers have hinted at new console releases. Other games, like "Yooka-Replaylee," have also suggested they will be available on future Nintendo systems. In "Ruffy and the Riverside," players will use a unique power called SWAP. This lets them change textures in the game world, allowing for creative gameplay. Players can transform ice into lava and find innovative ways to solve puzzles. While fans will have to wait until June to play, the announcement has generated excitement for both the game and the new console.
