Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau Announced for Nintendo Switch 2: Amata Games Delivers Japanese Horror Shooter with Enhanced Controls

Amata Games and Noto Muteki have officially announced that their acclaimed Japanese-style horror shooter, Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau, is coming to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

Scheduled for release in 2026, this third-person shooter promises an evolved horror experience with exclusive new control options and immersive gameplay mechanics tailored for Nintendo’s next-generation hardware. Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau diverges from the classic formula found in traditional Japanese horror games.

Unlike titles where players are typically defenseless against supernatural forces, this game empowers players to confront vengeful spirits head-on.

Blending suspenseful horror elements with dynamic third-person action, Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau gives players the tools to become as formidable as the spirits themselves. Amata Games emphasizes that on Nintendo Switch 2, Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau will offer advanced control schemes, including mouse-like pointer support through the new Joy-Con 2 peripherals.

This addition allows for greater precision and a more immersive experience, especially during tense combat and stealth sequences.

Players can also fully remap controller button layouts, further personalizing their approach to encounters in the game’s haunted environments. The game spans ten distinct story-driven stages, each filled with cutscenes that flesh out the narrative.

The gameplay alternates between unarmed combat, firearm-based action, and tactical stealth, providing a variety of approaches to overcoming spiritual threats.

Four different difficulty settings cater to a broad audience, from newcomers to veterans of the genre, encouraging multiple playthroughs and replay value. Reflecting on the announcement, representatives from Amata Games and Noto Muteki expressed enthusiasm for leveraging the capabilities of the Nintendo Switch 2: “With the upgraded hardware, we can provide players with even deeper immersion and unprecedented control responsiveness in Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau,” said an official statement.

This partnership continues both studios’ track record of delivering unique and thrilling gameplay experiences to the Nintendo ecosystem. While the precise release date for Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau on Nintendo Switch 2 remains undisclosed, anticipation is high for its 2026 launch.

Fans eager for more details can look forward to future updates as Amata Games and Noto Muteki unveil additional information about the game’s features and release schedule.

For now, the official trailer offers a glimpse into the chilling, action-packed adventure that awaits on Nintendo’s next-generation console.
