Kodansha Creators’ Lab and Itamae Studio have officially announced Wabisabi SushiDerby, a genre-defying sushi racing simulation game, coming to Nintendo Switch in Spring 2026.
This innovative title will be available digitally via the Nintendo eShop, inviting players to experience a new twist on culinary and racing game genres. Wabisabi SushiDerby positions itself as the world’s first sushi racing simulator, blending elements of time-honored sushi craftsmanship with the thrill of high-speed racing.
Players step into the role of a sushi chef, crafting unique sushi creations and then sending them out onto a competitive racetrack within the confines of a lively restaurant environment.
With each type of sushi offering distinct power-ups and base stats, players can further customize their racers by selecting from over 40 specialized skills and layering in a variety of ingredients that grant special abilities. During races, viewers take on an active spectator role.
By timing their cheers strategically, they can provide crucial speed boosts to their sushi racers, all while keeping an eye out for hungry customers.
A single misstep can result in a sushi racer being snatched up by a pair of looming chopsticks, instantly removing them from contention and adding a layer of excitement to the event. A spokesperson from Itamae Studio explained that "Wabisabi SushiDerby is designed to capture the energy and creativity of sushi-making, delivering an experience that’s both competitive and delightfully whimsical, perfectly suited to the Nintendo Switch audience." Wabisabi SushiDerby will launch exclusively as a digital download on the Nintendo eShop, with the global release scheduled for Spring 2026.
