Cable Nest Announces Tentacle Tango for Nintendo Switch, Set for 2026 Release
Cable Nest, the independent game developer known for creative multiplayer experiences, has officially announced the upcoming release of Tentacle Tango for the Nintendo Switch.
The studio confirmed today that this cooperative platforming adventure will launch on Nintendo’s flagship console in 2026, expanding the Switch library with a unique blend of challenge and charm for both solo and co-op players. About Tentacle Tango: A Challenging Co-op Adventure Tentacle Tango is a co-op platformer at its heart, designed to test teamwork, timing, and precision.
Players take control of two inseparable octopuses, Ten and Tango, as they swing, jump, and fumble their way through a series of treacherous environments.
Built from the ground up for both solo and local cooperative play, the game places an emphasis on synchronization and coordination, challenging players to work together—or master controlling both characters alone—to navigate traps, obstacles, and a variety of enemies. "You’ll need precise teamwork as every swing and jump can either lead you to victory or send you back to the start," a spokesperson for Cable Nest emphasized in a recent studio statement.
The developer noted that Tentacle Tango is designed for accessibility and fun, but also delivers a significant challenge beneath its adorable exterior. Key Features and Gameplay Details - Cooperative Platforming: Success in Tentacle Tango requires two players to synchronize every move, using timing and momentum to swing across gaps, dodge traps, and defeat cunning adversaries. - Solo or Co-op Play: While the experience shines in local co-op mode, solo players can still fully enjoy the adventure by controlling both octopus characters, navigating the game’s intricate levels and puzzles without a partner. - Progressive Difficulty: Each new world in Tentacle Tango introduces increasingly complex obstacles, from crumbling platforms to multi-step puzzles demanding flawless execution.
The learning curve keeps players engaged, offering a considerable test of reflexes and strategy. - Competitive Leaderboards: Players can compete with friends or the global community by setting the best times and climbing the leaderboards.
Mastery brings achievements and bragging rights for those skilled enough to tango with perfection. - Deceptively Challenging Design: The cute, colorful art style and animal characters belie a game that values skill and patience, with an underlying demand for sharp timing and coordination. Developer Achievements and Nintendo Switch Launch Cable Nest has built its reputation in the indie development scene with innovative multiplayer experiences, and the upcoming launch of Tentacle Tango for Nintendo Switch marks the studio’s latest effort to push co-op gameplay forward.
The game takes advantage of the Switch’s local multiplayer capabilities and will be available via the Nintendo eShop at launch in 2026. As anticipation builds, fans can look forward to more updates, trailers, and gameplay features as next year’s release approaches.
