Playdius and La Moutarde have set a release date for Old School Musical. The rhythm game is coming to Switch on September 13, the two companies announced today. It can be pre-loaded today for $12.99 via the eShop.

Old School Musical “invites players to revisit the golden age of gaming with a rocking retro soundtrack and levels inspired by 8-bit era classics.” Continue on below for more details and a new trailer.

Old School Musical follows the adventures of Tib and Rob, two video game characters trained by their missing mother to be top class video game heroes. Players must stay (chip)tune, synching inputs with flying notes to help Tib and Rob find their missing mother. Miss too many notes, and Tib and Rob’s adventure will fall flat!
