Pineapple: A Bittersweet Revenge Release Date Announced for Nintendo Switch

Patrones & Escondites, an indie game developer known for their unique narrative-driven projects, has officially announced that Pineapple: A Bittersweet Revenge will release on the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop on July 18, 2025.

This inventive title invites players into a hand-drawn world where humor, creativity, and a subtle message about bullying combine to deliver a fresh gaming experience.

Originally inspired by a viral internet story, Pineapple: A Bittersweet Revenge positions players as a newcomer at a high school, who after enduring relentless harassment from the school's most notorious bully, decides to turn the tables via imaginative pranks.

The game's quirky premise revolves around hiding pineapples in the bully's personal spaces, setting the stage for a series of increasingly clever and humorous challenges. In a recent statement, representatives from Patrones & Escondites described the title as a “prank simulator” featuring a light-hearted story that delves into the lasting impact of unfairness and the emotional baggage carried from school days.

Instead of direct confrontation, players are encouraged to outthink and outmaneuver their antagonist, utilizing a suite of skills such as sneaking into off-limits areas, picking locks, disguising themselves, and even programming robots—all in pursuit of achieving the ultimate revenge prank. Pineapple: A Bittersweet Revenge stands out with its hand-crafted artwork, echoing the familiar doodles often found in a student’s notebook.

The developers emphasize that this artistic approach, paired with a punk-inspired original soundtrack, aims to evoke both nostalgia and levity without losing sight of the underlying seriousness of bullying.

The game's narrative focus seeks to spark conversations about fairness while simultaneously delivering entertaining gameplay moments. Alongside its unique art and gameplay mechanics, the game emphasizes inclusivity and accessibility, ensuring that players of all backgrounds can engage with its story and challenges.

The bite-sized adventure is designed for Nintendo Switch’s versatile playstyle, making it an ideal pick-up-and-play title for fans of indie games and creative storytelling. Pineapple: A Bittersweet Revenge will be available exclusively as a digital download through the Nintendo eShop starting July 18, 2025.

With its engaging concept and thoughtful execution, the title is poised to join the roster of memorable indie successes on Nintendo’s platform.
