Neon Noodles Brings Cyberpunk Puzzle Automation to Nintendo Switch This July

Neon Noodles, the inventive cyberpunk kitchen automation puzzler developed by Vivid Helix and published by Eastasiasoft, is officially heading to the Nintendo Switch on July 16, 2025.

This highly-anticipated title, which has drawn inspiration from beloved automation puzzle games like those from Zachtronics, tasks players with designing intricate culinary machines in the heart of a futuristic metropolis.

The announcement marks a significant milestone for both Vivid Helix and the Nintendo Switch platform, bringing a unique blend of strategic design, programming, and cooking to a new audience via the Nintendo eShop. In Neon Noodles, players assume the role of a recipe programming technician employed by a powerful aristocracy.

The gameplay revolves around creating, optimizing, and testing an array of robotic chefs capable of preparing a vast global menu.

With more than 250 recipes and over 400 ingredients available, the depth of food production mechanics in Neon Noodles stands out among puzzle game contemporaries.

From classics like ramen and bibimbap to international delicacies such as paella and guacamole, players are challenged to refine their pipeline for maximum efficiency and creativity. The game’s narrative positions the player as a shadowy figure with no memory, forced to participate in a Criminal Rehabilitation Program.

As you ascend through the ranks, unearthing the true nature of your own past and the dark secrets of the Neon Noodles empire becomes an integral part of the journey.

This compelling story thread complements the rich mechanical depth, making it a must-watch title for puzzle enthusiasts and narrative-driven gamers alike. Vivid Helix founder and lead developer, Radu Muresan, shared insight into the game’s design philosophy: He explained that Neon Noodles was built from the ground up with controller support in mind, ensuring that players could easily experiment and perfect their cooking layouts on a console.

Muresan stated, "After playing games like Overcooked, I wanted to create an experience where players can achieve optimal kitchen designs solo, without the need for communication or coordination with others.

Neon Noodles achieves this by empowering players to program their robotic chefs, fostering experimentation and mastery." Neon Noodles will be available as a digital download through the Nintendo eShop.

Switch owners eager for automation challenges, intricate puzzle design, and cyberpunk storytelling should mark their calendars for July 16, 2025.
