Patapon 1 + 2 Replay

Patapon 1 + 2 Replay review

System: Switch
Release date: July 22, 2025
Developer: Sas Co / Pyramid / Japan Studio
Publisher: Bandai Namco

Of all the franchises I expected to see on Switch this year, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Patapon wasn’t one of them. Part rhythm game, part imposing strategy micro-management sim, Patapon is the endearing outcome of a chance encounter between Japanese developer Hiroyuki Kotani and the personal website of French artist Rolito. This fairytale serendipity resulted in Japan Studio, Rolito, and Pyramid developing the original Patapon exclusively for Sony’s PSP in 2007, with a sequel arriving for the same machine just one year later. Now almost twenty years later, Bandai Namco lives up to its apparent reputation as everyone’s best mate by taking the PlayStation exclusive multiplatform. Can someone explain our current timeline to me, please?

Patapon 1 + 2 Replay physical

We have a quick heads up for for Patapon 1 + 2 Replay fans: a physical release is available on Nintendo Switch, but with a caveat.

The collection just came out this week, though for the most part, it’s digital-only. However, a full physical release just went out in Japan and Asia.

Patapon 1 + 2 Replay is almost ready for its debut, and now Bandai Namco has prepared a launch trailer. Fans can get a closer look at the return of the rhythm PSP titles.

Details about what to expect can be found in the following overview:
