Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass gets Nintendo Switch release date, new trailer

Electric Airship and Starseed Games have come through with a release date for Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass. The game hits Nintendo Switch on February 5, 2026.

Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass, a Japanese-style RPG, was confirmed for Nintendo Switch last year. When it heads to the platform, it’ll include new levels, enhanced visuals, a new font, CRT filter, expert difficulty mode, new enemies, and more.

Those that need a refresher on the title can check out the following overview:

Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass is a Japanese-style RPG made by a guy from Texas. It was very much influenced by Super Nintendo Entertainment System-era JRPGs—particularly Earthbound, Final Fantasy V, and the Breath of Fire series, among others. It was also heavily influenced by Yume Nikki.

The game takes place in the dream of an eight-year-old boy. When an alien entity appears and threatens his family and the stability of the dream world itself, Jimmy sets out on an adventure to save his family and eradicate the threat of the Pulsating Mass. Along the way, Jimmy will have to work with his family, confront his own shortcomings, and brave the creeping nightmares of his subconscious.
