Nitrome has confirmed that Silly Sausage Buffet is the next entry in its Nitrome Classics series and is coming to Nintendo Switch, the developer announced today.

The release date has not been set and will be shared by Nitrome at a later time.

The title originally debuted as a Flash game in 2011 and is being reissued for modern platforms as part of Nitrome's effort to revive its back catalog.

Silly Sausage Buffet is a surreal platformer built around elastic character controls.

Nitrome describes the protagonist as a highly stretchable dog that players manipulate by extending and retracting its body to latch onto surfaces, weave through hazards, and change direction mid-air.

The studio emphasizes the game's unique control scheme, where an infinitely stretchable body is powerful but exposes the player to increased risk if overextended.

The Switch release packages three previously released Silly Sausage entries: Silly Sausage: The Original Hotdog, Silly Sausage In Meat Land, and Silly Sausage Doggy Dessert.

Each chapter adapts its challenges to the elastic gameplay mechanic; for example, Doggy Dessert includes time-based challenge rooms that reward players with collectible dog toys.

Nitrome also confirmed a risk-reward restart mechanic in which collecting gems banks a restart spot, allowing players to decide whether to secure a checkpoint or save gems for later.

Additional features carried forward include a set of fictional cheat options delivered via a mock cartridge called Game Muscle.

These cheats alter play conditions — from reversing the stage to toggling humorous modes — and were originally available in The Original Hotdog.

The re-release will also include achievements for completionists.

Nitrome released an announcement trailer alongside the Switch confirmation.

The developer said this is the second release in the Nitrome Classics program and indicated more reworked titles will follow, inviting fans to relive those Flash-era games on contemporary hardware.

Nitrome has not announced whether Silly Sausage Buffet will appear on the Nintendo eShop on launch day or if it will be featured in a Nintendo Direct.

Fans can follow Nitrome's channels for the forthcoming release date and additional platform details.
