Namco Legendary Mountains for Switch 2

BeXide said on May 18 that it will release NAMCO LEGENDARY Mountains for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch this summer, adding a new puzzle game built around Bandai Namco’s classic arcade properties. The company announced the game in cooperation with Bandai Namco, according to BeXide’s game description as carried by Gematsu and Nintendo Everything. The title is also slated for PC via Steam, though Nintendo-focused reports centered on the two Nintendo platforms. No exact release date was provided beyond the summer 2026 window. ### What kind of puzzle game is NAMCO LEGENDARY Mountains? Nintendo Everything said the game resembles 2048 and Suika Game in that players combine matching pieces into larger ones, but does so in a 3D space rather than a flat grid. BeXide’s description says players “toss, stack, and merge” voxel capsules and try to keep them from falling off the field while building toward higher scores. (gematsu.com) The game’s central objects are “Voxels,” which BeXide describes as 3D versions of classic Namco characters and icons. When two Voxels of the same kind collide, they transform into a larger one, according to the game description published by Nintendo Everything and Gematsu. (nintendoeverything.com) ### Which Namco series are included? BeXide’s published overview names five dedicated stages tied to PAC-MAN, DIG DUG, MAPPY, THE TOWER OF DRUAGA and XEVIOUS. The company said a main stage will also blend elements from multiple titles rather than focusing on a single franchise. (gematsu.com) The same overview says the game uses music from those arcade titles as part of the play experience. Nintendo Everything described the project as drawing on “Namco’s rich history,” while the official description frames it as classic pixel art reworked into 3D puzzle pieces. (gematsu.com) ### What modes and features did BeXide detail? BeXide said the game will include online rankings tied to a score-attack mode, letting players compete for placement on worldwide leaderboards. The company also said players can unlock more than 100 unique Voxels by clearing challenges. (nintendoeverything.com) A “Collection Room” is also planned, according to the published game description. That mode lets players arrange unlocked Voxels freely, which BeXide said can be used to recreate favorite scenes or build crossover displays from across the featured Namco series. (gematsu.com) ### Why is BeXide involved with a Namco-branded game? Gematsu reported that BeXide announced the project “in cooperation with Bandai Namco,” indicating the puzzle specialist is developing the game with access to Bandai Namco’s legacy properties. Nintendo Everything likewise identified BeXide as the announcing company and tagged both Bandai Namco and BeXide in its report. (gematsu.com) The available materials do not set out publishing terms for the Nintendo versions in detail. But the public descriptions consistently present the game as a BeXide-developed title built around licensed or cooperative use of Bandai Namco’s arcade catalog. (gematsu.com) ### When can players see more of it? Gematsu said a playable demo will be shown at BitSummit PUNCH, which is scheduled for May 22 to May 24 at Miyako Messe in Kyoto, Japan. That event is the next concrete milestone attached to the game after the announcement. (gematsu.com) Summer 2026 remains the only release window named for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch in the announcement materials reviewed by Nintendo Everything and Gematsu. BeXide has also released announcement trailers in English and Japanese, and the BitSummit demo is set to provide the next public hands-on look before a dated launch is announced. (gematsu.com)
