Tanglewood, the acclaimed 2018 puzzle platformer developed by Big Evil Corporation, makes its definitive leap to Nintendo Switch this December.
The studio has officially announced that Tanglewood Definitive Edition will debut on the Nintendo Switch eShop on December 18, 2025, bringing new features and enhancements to both longtime fans and newcomers. Originally launched in 2018 and praised for its 16-bit authenticity, Tanglewood pays homage to classic era platformers and is notable for being developed using original 1990s hardware.
Guided by a deep affection for retro gaming, Big Evil Corporation has spent years refining the experience, and this Switch release is set to deliver the ultimate edition of the beloved title. Players step into the role of Nymn, a young Djunn separated from his pack, journeying through the eerie, labyrinthine forests of Tanglewood.
Combining quick reflexes with clever puzzle solving, players must help Nymn avoid dreadful creatures and confront dark challenges in a hauntingly atmospheric world.
Each new dawn hopes to bring Nymn closer to safety, but survival requires mastering special abilities and applying lateral thinking to outwit both environment and enemy. The Nintendo Switch version arrives as a definitive edition, offering numerous upgrades over the original.
Gamers can look forward to widescreen support and higher-quality audio, leveraging the Switch’s hardware to enhance immersion.
Brand new levels have been added, further extending the adventure beyond its original eight-chapter storyline.
Additional achievements provide further goals and replay value, and a newly introduced storybook mode deepens the lore behind Tanglewood, providing a fresh way to experience the narrative and uncover its origins. Featuring hand-crafted pixel artwork, fluid character animation, and an original soundtrack by Freezedream, Tanglewood stands as a true testament to skillful retro game development.
The game retains its 16-bit roots while adding Switch-exclusive refinements, ensuring both nostalgic and modern platformer fans find plenty to enjoy. Big Evil Corporation’s dedication to authenticity and innovation is evident throughout their catalog, but Tanglewood remains a standout achievement within the indie and retro gaming community.
The game will be available for purchase on the Nintendo Switch eShop at a price point of $9.99 USD, making it an accessible addition to any Switch library. For fans eager to see Tanglewood in action on Nintendo Switch, an official trailer is available for viewing.
