There’s a buzz in the gaming world about the possibility that Ruffy and the Riverside, an eagerly awaited 3D platformer, might soon be making a splash on the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. The speculation comes amid a flurry of talk suggesting that the release of Nintendo’s next-gen console is just around the corner, potentially hitting shelves this June.
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, April 2, at 8:00 am CT, when Nintendo is set to host an exciting Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation. This event is expected to shed light on various details about the new console, including its price, release date, availability for pre-order, and the lineup of games that will be accompanying its launch. Enthusiasts and fans should tune in for this promising reveal.
Although Nintendo has been somewhat tight-lipped regarding the games planned for the Switch 2, other developers are dropping hints and confirmations about their titles. Among them, Ruffy and the Riverside is set for a June 26 release, and an intriguing announcement suggests it might be coming to “Nintendo Switch(es).” This hint implies the game is in the works not just for the original Switch but potentially for the Switch 2 as well.
Taking this clue literally might give us a hint about the Switch 2’s launch date. If Ruffy and the Riverside is indeed set to debut on “Nintendo Switch(es)” by June 26, then logically, the Switch 2 should be available by then. However, it’s best not to jump to conclusions until Nintendo officially confirms a release date.
While anticipation points to a release soon, there’s always room for unexpected changes, and Nintendo could decide on a later release. Until Nintendo pulls back the curtain with official announcements, we’re left to speculate on the exact release timing and game offerings for the Switch 2. Fortunately, the wait for concrete details is drawing to a close, with the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Direct event just days away.
Meanwhile, players eager for Ruffy and the Riverside can look forward to its release on multiple platforms. Besides the Switch(es), the game will also be landing on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on June 26, so platformer fans across the board can get in on the action.
