The shadows are lengthening on Nintendo’s next-generation hardware. Announced during the latest Nintendo Direct, Mimimi Games’ genre-defining masterpiece, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, is officially coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on March 18, 2026. This definitive edition brings the acclaimed Edo-period strategy hit and its standalone expansion, Aiko’s Choice, to the console in their most polished forms yet.
The Definitive Console Experience
Widely considered the benchmark for modern real-time tactics, Shadow Tactics revitalized the "Commandos-style" formula with a 96% "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating on Steam. On the Nintendo Switch 2, the game reaches a new technical peak, offering:
Stunning Visuals: 4K output at 30 FPS in TV mode and 1080p at 30 FPS in handheld mode.
Unmatched Precision: For the first time on console, the game features native mouse support, allowing for the surgical precision previously exclusive to PC players.
Optimized Performance: Drastically improved loading times and polished performance specifically tuned for the Switch 2 hardware.
Master the Art of Stealth
Set in Japan’s iconic Edo period, players command a lethal squad of five specialists. From the trap-setting Yuki to the disguise-master Aiko and the heavy-hitting samurai Mugen, success depends on combining their unique skill sets to infiltrate heavily guarded castles and snowy mountain monasteries. It is a game of patience and wit, where every handcrafted sandbox mission offers a "character-driven story" that evolves alongside the difficulty.
