Ripple Island Kyle and Cal’s Restaurant Announced as Sunsoft’s First Nintendo Switch 2 Game

Sunsoft has officially announced its debut title for the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2: Ripple Island Kyle and Cal’s Restaurant.

Scheduled for release on November 27, 2025, this co-op cooking action game continues Sunsoft’s storied legacy as a developer, now entering a new chapter on Nintendo’s next-generation hardware.

Ripple Island Kyle and Cal’s Restaurant is designed to deliver a dynamic multiplayer experience.

The game supports up to 16 players in online cooperative play, making it one of the most ambitious cooking action titles available for the Nintendo Switch 2.

For local gatherings, the game enables up to four players to team up on a single console, while up to eight local players can join an online session for larger multiplayer events.

Players will find themselves on Ripple Island, a lush, vibrant setting abundant with fresh ingredients and colorful animal characters.

The core gameplay revolves around gathering resources—players can grow vegetables, catch fish, and collect eggs from domesticated pets—to prepare and serve a variety of dishes.

Each role, from ingredient collection to meal preparation and serving, can be customized and divided among team members, promoting strategic cooperation and communication. The game’s narrative centers on King Dotella, the ruler of Ripple Island, who announces a grand cooking tournament tasked with discovering the most delicious dish on the island.

This proclamation motivates Kyle, a talented chef, to leave his quiet life and compete for the coveted prize.

The storyline sets the stage for both the single-player and multiplayer content, blending high-stakes competition with lighthearted charm. Ripple Island Kyle and Cal’s Restaurant offers several ways to play: - Solo Mode: Players tackle every aspect of running the kitchen, testing their multitasking skills by gathering, preparing, and serving meals independently. - Local Co-op: Up to four players can join forces on a single Nintendo Switch 2 system, collaborating to conquer increasingly challenging stages. - Online Multiplayer: The game supports up to 16 players, encouraging teamwork as players assign specific tasks and manage kitchens together during timed cooking challenges.

Up to eight local participants can join an online session for a seamless experience. "Delegating roles and paying attention to fellow teammates’ actions is critical for success," said a Sunsoft representative, emphasizing the title’s cooperative mechanics and replay value.

Sunsoft’s move to the Nintendo Switch 2 highlights the platform’s evolving focus on social and cooperative gameplay.

As one of the first third-party developers to commit to Nintendo’s next-gen hardware, Sunsoft aims to build on its rich creative history while leveraging new technology for expanded player engagement. For further updates and the official reveal trailer, fans can visit the Nintendo eShop or follow announcements from future Nintendo Direct presentations.
