Melatonin Nintendo Switch Physical Edition Announced by Super Rare Games

Super Rare Games, a publisher renowned for bringing digital indie gems to tangible form, has partnered with developer Half Asleep to announce the first-ever physical edition of Melatonin for Nintendo Switch.

Following the rhythm-based title’s original launch on the Nintendo eShop in late 2022, fans will soon have the chance to own Melatonin as a collectible boxed release, complete with exclusive bonus items. Melatonin is a one-of-a-kind rhythm game that blurs the line between dreams and waking life.

Since debuting on the Nintendo Switch eShop on December 15, 2022, the game has received acclaim for its unique fusion of vivid hand-drawn visuals, immersive music, and intuitive, overlay-free gameplay.

Players are invited to synchronize their actions across five chapters and over 20 distinct levels, each exploring the connections between the subconscious world of dreams and the realities of daily existence.

The game’s thoughtful structure and assistive features, such as Practice Mode and Challenge Modes, make it accessible to both rhythm veterans and newcomers to the genre. Super Rare Games has confirmed that this physical edition of Melatonin will be strictly limited to 3,000 units worldwide.

Each physical copy will include a full-color manual—a growing rarity in the age of digital gaming—an exclusive sticker, and collectible trading cards.

These additions underscore the publisher’s commitment to creating high-value releases for collectors and dedicated Nintendo Switch players alike. A spokesperson for Super Rare Games emphasized their dedication to bringing beloved digital titles into the hands of fans, stating that releasing the game physically allows collectors to "celebrate and preserve some of the best indie experiences available on Nintendo Switch." Beyond its dreamlike levels and responsive controls, Melatonin also empowers players to get creative with a built-in Level Editor, making it easier than ever to design custom rhythm challenges.

Additional features such as level mashups and various assist options further enrich replay value. The Melatonin Nintendo Switch physical edition will become available exclusively through Super Rare Games’ official website starting December 11, 2025 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM UK / 7 PM Europe.

Given the limited run, interested fans are encouraged to act quickly to secure a copy.

Melatonin’s transition from a digital indie hit to a coveted physical collectible marks another successful collaboration in Super Rare Games’ ongoing mission to celebrate innovative titles for the Nintendo Switch platform.
