Game Source Entertainment, in collaboration with Tokyo Virtual Theory (TVT), has exciting news for rhythm game enthusiasts: Ratatan, their new rhythm roguelike action game, is set to make its debut on the Nintendo Switch.
This engaging adventure serves as a spiritual successor to the much-adored Patapon from Japan Studio and Pyramid. The game whisks players away to Rataport, a vibrant island that contrasts with the serene ocean surrounding it, likened to a lively toy box. Here, you’ll encounter Ratatan, a peculiar creature enjoying life alongside its companions, the Cobun.
Though the Cobun may vary in looks and personalities, they unite in their shared aspiration: to journey to The Everafter and meet the fabled Goddess rumored to reside there. Their determination is unwavering, and despite the setbacks, their dream fuels their resolve.
Under the guidance of Patapon series producer Hiroyuki Kotani, you’ll step into the shoes of Ratatan. Your mission? Master magical instruments and sync up with the beat to lead the Cobun armies in combat. Nailing the rhythm sequences unlocks Fever Mode, transforming the background music in real time while your characters bust out dynamic new moves.
Mark your calendars as Ratatan arrives on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch across the globe in 2025. Stay tuned for more updates and prepare to dive into its enchanting melodies.
