The Rumble Fish 2 is getting a native Nintendo Switch 2 version earlier next year, on January 22nd, 2026. Owners of the Switch 1 version can buy an Upgrade Pack for the Switch 2 version.
The Rumble Fish 2 has been available across Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PS5 since December 2022.
Here’s a rundown on the new release, plus a trailer:
Developed for the Atomiswave arcade platform and debuting in 2005, The Rumble Fish 2 delighted players with its flashy, technical gameplay governed by five buttons and two super move gauges and stood out with a unique, colorful cast of 16 characters punctuated by the game’s innovative “Smooth Model Animation” system, allowing for 2D sprite animation on a per-limb basis.
This port has many new features seen in modern fighting games, including a training mode with plenty of features for player to hone their skills, online player-versus-player powered by rollback netcode, options for both 4:3 and 16:9 screen size at 60 frames per second, and a gallery mode to enjoy the timeless artwork.
