TANUKI: Pon’s Summer Switch Preorders: How to Order
Quick answer
Yes — TANUKI: Pon's Summer is coming to Nintendo Switch, and preorders are already open on Nintendo Switch 1 and Nintendo Switch 2. That confirmation comes from the developer's October 28, 2026 release-date announcement posted on the official Steam page, where Denkiworks and CRITICAL REFLEX state the game launches on November 10, 2026, with preorders open on Switch 1 and Switch 2 alongside Xbox.

Where and how to preorder
The announcement does not link a specific Nintendo eShop listing or state a Switch price, so treat the following as the general ordering path:
Open the Nintendo eShop on your console
On Switch 1 or Switch 2, open the eShop and search for "TANUKI: Pon's Summer". The developer announcement confirms preorders exist on both systems but does not name the exact store URL.Find the preorder listing
Search by the full title, since a short search may surface unrelated tanuki games. The publisher is CRITICAL REFLEX and the developer is Denkiworks — check that both names appear on the listing before ordering.Preorder
Complete the purchase as a preorder. Your payment method will be charged per Nintendo's standard preorder policy, and the game should unlock on release day.Verify the release date on the listing
The stated launch date is November 10, 2026. If the eShop page shows a different date, trust the console listing for that region and version.
What the Switch version gets
The developer's posts describe the full game rather than a reduced port: deliveries by BMX across a Japanese island, shrine rebuilding, 101 BMX challenges, local activities such as sushi-making, baseball, sumo and insect catching, and crossover hats inspired by Hollow Knight: Silksong, PEAK, Shovel Knight and more. If you have already played the free demo on Steam, its first three in-game days carry over to the main game on release.
