Ninjora Echoes dropping on Nintendo Switch this week

Ratalaika Games and Bug-Studio are teaming up for the release of Ninjora Echoes on Nintendo Switch. The two sides set a release date of April 10, 2026 today.

Ninjora Echoes, a 2D platformer, has players creating and controlling shadow clones to progress. Players will look to save their village from the sinister monk Doku, who has stolen the Stone of Life.

More information about the title can be found in the following overview:

Take control of Hiko, a young ninja, and his shadow doubles as you solve puzzles, defeat enemies, and save your village from the sinister monk Doku.

In a distant bamboo village lies the Stone of Life – a source of strength and harmony. When the evil monk Doku steals it, young ninja Hiko sets out on a perilous journey to retrieve the stolen relic and restore peace.

Ninjora Echoes is a 2D platformer built around the unique mechanic of creating and controlling shadow clones. You won’t just jump and fight – you’ll need to plan every move strategically. Your clones can press switches, hold levers, and distract enemies, opening up clever new ways to overcome each challenge.

Hiko’s ability to transfer his soul into any of his clones lets you coordinate multiple characters at once, solving intricate puzzles where every shadow plays a vital role. Use your clones to build vertical towers, reach hidden platforms, and outsmart deadly traps.

Combat combines precision and tactics – throw shurikens, strike in close combat, and master ninja skills to defeat enemies. Each level is a test of skill and strategy, leading up to epic boss battles – including the final showdown with Doku himself.

Unleash the power of the shadows, test your reflexes and wits, and reclaim the Stone of Life to save your village!
