Bandai Namco Entertainment has confirmed that Ondeh Ondeh Kaya’s Tasty Tale is in development for Nintendo Switch 2 and will launch digitally on the Nintendo eShop worldwide in 2027.
Developed by Metronomik, the title is billed as a rhythm-focused puzzle action-adventure inspired by the cultures and culinary traditions of Southeast Asia.
The game places players in the role of Kaya, a young protagonist on a coming-of-age quest to follow in her parents’ footsteps and become a certified Worldbuilder.
To achieve certification Kaya must locate and gather all the Giants across the game world and perform a Renewal Ritual intended to rejuvenate the world’s flavours — a narrative hook that ties the game’s culinary motifs into its core objectives.
Metronomik and publisher Bandai Namco describe Ondeh Ondeh Kaya’s Tasty Tale as a hybrid that blends rhythm-based mechanics with exploration, puzzle solving and combat.
According to the publisher’s press materials, music serves as the backbone of the experience: players will need to follow tempo and timing to navigate environments, unlock new paths and enhance Kaya’s abilities, meaning rhythm mechanics directly influence progression and interaction with the world.
Gameplay details released so far emphasize culturally rooted aesthetics and systems.
The title’s name references the traditional Southeast Asian sweet snack ondeh ondeh, and the developer cites regional musical and culinary elements as primary sources of inspiration for the game’s design and atmosphere.
The announcement, first reported by Alex Seedhouse, sets Ondeh Ondeh Kaya’s Tasty Tale among an emerging slate of titles targeted at Nintendo’s next-generation hardware.
The confirmed plan is a digital release exclusively through the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027; no physical release window or additional platforms have been announced by Bandai Namco or Metronomik at this time.
For industry observers and Nintendo-focused audiences, the Metronomik project will be notable for its fusion of rhythm systems with traditional adventure and puzzle gameplay.
Further details, including a firm release date, gameplay footage and platform-specific features, are expected to arrive through official channels as development progresses.
