Ratalaika Games and developer Seep have announced that 1964: Operation Velvet Twins is coming to Nintendo Switch, with the digital release scheduled for Friday, August 28.
The retro-inspired 2D spy adventure will be available on the Nintendo eShop and is priced at $5.99.
1964: Operation Velvet Twins positions itself as a compact action-platformer that channels classic arcade sensibilities.
The publisher describes the title as marrying stealth-focused shootouts with close-quarters brawling, evoking comparisons to arcade-era entries like Rolling Thunder and Double Dragon.
Presented in authentic 8-bit visuals and music, the game emphasizes tight mechanics and old-school presentation.
In the game players assume the role of Secret Agent Mike Rogers, tasked with tracking and capturing a pair of fugitive terrorists known as the Velvet Twins.
Rogers fights through a variety of era-specific stages that include neon-lit Las Vegas, a gritty Chinatown, rundown factories, and even a climactic shootout in a Wild West village.
Along the way he engages in hand-to-hand combat and can pick up available firearms when confrontations escalate.
Combat and progression details in the announcement highlight melee versatility and improvised weaponry.
Rogers can use pistols, swords, baseball bats, submachine guns, and environmental objects such as crates.
The release overview also outlines seven distinct locations, eight bosses, and a simple economy: collect dollars to purchase power-ups or bank them to boost the player score.
Key features listed by the developer and publisher include:
- Play as Secret Agent Mike Rogers
- Hand-to-hand brawling and pickup firearms
- Multiple melee options including swords and bats
- Eight bosses across seven unique stages
- Retro 8-bit visuals and soundtrack
- Collectible dollars to spend on power-ups or increase score
An official trailer has been published alongside the announcement.
The Switch edition will be distributed digitally through the Nintendo eShop for $5.99.
