Nintendo has confirmed Orbitals, the anime-inspired Switch 2 exclusive from publisher Kepler Interactive, will launch on September 3. The two-player puzzle adventure game first gained attention during Nintendo's February partner Direct, where it showcased its unique '90s-inspired anime aesthetic that sets it apart from other Switch titles and promises a distinctive visual experience.

Players will take on the roles of intergalactic explorers working together to save their home from an incoming cosmic storm. Orbitals offers both local and online co-op gameplay, with support for the Switch 2's GameShare feature allowing two players to enjoy the experience with just one purchase from the Nintendo eShop starting today.

The game arrives as part of Nintendo's summer lineup and represents a strong co-op offering on the new platform. Its visual style draws inspiration from classic anime while the puzzle mechanics provide fresh gameplay for Switch 2 owners looking for shared experiences. The title stands out among upcoming Switch 2 exclusives with its unique combination of aesthetics and cooperative gameplay.
