SHUTEN ORDER, the latest title from Tookyo Games and Spike Chunsoft, is officially slated for a physical release on both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 in Spring 2026.
This announcement comes from Spike Chunsoft, DMM Games, and publisher partners, promising long-awaited news for both collectors and fans of physical media in gaming. Both the original Nintendo Switch and the newly released Nintendo Switch 2 will receive a boxed edition of SHUTEN ORDER in North America, with distribution led by PM Studios.
European gamers, however, will see a release limited to just the Switch 2 edition via Reef Entertainment.
A key highlight for collectors: the Nintendo Switch 2 physical edition will include the entire SHUTEN ORDER game on the cartridge—an increasingly rare move in the era of partial downloads and day-one patches.
Spike Chunsoft has confirmed that this full game availability is intended to deliver the complete experience straight out of the box. First introduced by Danganronpa creator Kazutaka Kodaka, who serves as one of the lead writers on the project, SHUTEN ORDER is a unique entry in the mystery genre.
The game merges multiple styles of play, centering on a protagonist who has been murdered and must investigate events to uncover their killer.
SHUTEN ORDER’s genre-blending approach and narrative ambition have drawn attention within the gaming community, although some initial reviews noted its pacing as somewhat prolonged compared to Kodaka’s earlier masterworks. The upcoming Switch 2 version will offer several technical enhancements, taking advantage of the new hardware’s upgraded capabilities.
Players can expect performance improvements such as frame rates between 60 and 120 frames per second in both docked and handheld modes, as well as support for Mouse Mode input—further distinguishing the new edition from its predecessor.
This ensures that those who upgrade to Switch 2 can experience SHUTEN ORDER at its best. SHUTEN ORDER will be physically available in stores nationwide beginning Spring 2026, giving fans the opportunity to own a tangible copy that delivers the entire adventure without needing supplemental downloads.
As digital-only releases become more prevalent, Spike Chunsoft’s commitment to an all-in-one cartridge for Switch 2 provides added value for enthusiasts who value shelf space just as much as gameplay. Stay tuned to official channels and the Nintendo eShop for more updates regarding pre-order details, cover art reveals, and final release dates.
With SHUTEN ORDER poised to make its mark on the Nintendo Switch legacy, mystery genre fans and collectors alike have a new reason to celebrate in 2026.
