Nintendo has officially announced that Rhythm Heaven Groove, the highly anticipated new entry in the celebrated rhythm game series, will debut on Nintendo Switch on July 2, 2026.
Revealed via a post from Nintendo of America, the announcement confirms both physical and digital editions will be available for purchase at $39.99.
This price point aligns with recent Nintendo releases for the Switch platform, although the company has gradually shifted pricing strategies for upcoming hardware generations.
Rhythm Heaven Groove marks a significant return for the franchise, which has been a fan-favorite since its inception.
The Rhythm Heaven series last saw a new installment with the release of Rhythm Heaven Fever on the Wii in 2011.
While 2015’s Rhythm Heaven Megamix for the Nintendo 3DS served as a remix and compilation title, Groove is the first wholly original game in the rhythm-focused series to grace home consoles in over a decade.
In a statement shared through Nintendo of America’s social media channels, the company expressed excitement as Rhythm Heaven Groove prepares to make its mark on the Nintendo Switch library.
The message also reinforced the release date and pricing: “Rhythm Heaven Groove is coming to Nintendo Switch on July 2.
Both physical and digital editions will be available for $39.99.”
Developed and published by Nintendo, Rhythm Heaven Groove continues the tradition of delivering quirky, accessible, and highly rhythmic minigames that have defined the series.
While details about specific minigames or features remain scarce, Nintendo’s track record promises innovative gameplay and memorable visual style.
Given its place in the late lifecycle of the Nintendo Switch, Groove may become one of the platform’s notable swan song titles, offering dedicated fans a fresh experience before Nintendo transitions to its next hardware platform.
With a history of critical acclaim and strong fan support, Rhythm Heaven Groove is poised to attract both longtime enthusiasts and newcomers to the series.
As the July 2, 2026 release date approaches, further updates and gameplay reveals are expected.
Both collectors and digital-first players can look forward to the simultaneous launch on Nintendo Switch, available at retailers and via the Nintendo eShop.
