Even in its young age, the Switch has already proven to have a fairly diverse variety of game genres in its catalogue, with a couple good rhythm games for the platform. Both VOEZ and Thumper are high quality music games that will provide you unique audiovisual experiences that can both excite and relax. Now, it seems that the rhythm genre is due to expand a bit more on the Switch, as it has been recently confirmed that Superbeat: Xonic is due out on the Switch eShop this fall.
Superbeat: Xonic launched on the Vita back in 2015 and was met with generally favorable reviews at the time, and only just got console ports on PS4 and Xbox One this past June. Though it’s a bit behind the other platforms, the Switch version will also come with over 50 unique music tracks and 200 different play patterns, and will also feature leaderboards and an endless survival mode. As of now it’s only slated for a North American release of 3rd October, but the Switch’s region-free nature should mean this will be available to anyone who may be interested.
What do you think? Will you pick this up? If you played it before, how did you like it? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Always a fan of rhythm titles. I'll see about this one!
mmmm
no
Neat, but is this Xega approved?
The game actually does look surprisingly good to me, I've been craving a rythm game recently so I'll definetly look more into this title
Welp. Need to offload my vita copy now.
K-pop does nothing for me but I can play Fantasti-K all day.
Edit: I still need to get voez. Darn you play asia for distracting me!
A third rhythm title for the Switch! Definitely a must see and must buy. KONAMI needs to bring back the Dance Dance Revolution franchise one of these days.
This one looks alright...another game I want to check out but I have to wait.
I havent bought the PS4 version so Switch it is.
Now Sega needs to give us a Miku game, Diva or Mirai.
I had this on Vita and I really enjoyed it. I thought that is was fairly intense at the time, although that was before I played Thumper. It's a much more traditional rhythm game than Thumper though with a nice mixture of original music. Some of those songs really get stuck in your head!
Niiiicce.
Gimme Project Diva or Mirai now and I'll be set. <3
This game is ridiculously hard! almost to the point that it just isnt fun.
Have this on Vita. It does get hard fur sure
How long before someone complains that this is a port of an old game??
I'd prefer Audiosurf 2. Play to your own music!
No, thank you. Leave this for the smartphones.
@Lumine I don't have a Switch, but I'd get one for Miku.
Checked this on Vita, not really impressed. Persona 4: Dancing All Night and Miku games are much better.
@Elanczewski i think persona 4: dancing all night while has some classic tracks it's pretty damn average as rhythm game.
@kobashi100 Yeah, maybe (I'm a Persona fan, so my opinion is somewhat biased), but I don't think that Xonic has much more interesting gameplay. Also tracks in Xonic are forgettable.
I never got this for Vita... If it gets a physical release (and it should) I'll pick it up.
@Elanczewski @kobashi100
Persona 4: Dancing All Night made me a Persona fan. I hadn't played much of Persona 4 at the time, but gosh dang if P4AN wasn't the funnest dang rhythm game I've ever played. Only game I've ever got a platinum trophy for.
@JaxonH What a coincidence, it's my only platinum trophy too
Yay more old ports from a platform most people hated.... because no games....
Lol.
Xonic is awesome btw.
@Lumine
I really hope they give us one. Mirai 3 would be the one I want.
@JaxonH Nintendo everything is showing box art so I think you are good. I'm actually going to go digital this time around...I played it enough to be annoyed with card switching.
Nice. This was a lot of fun on Vita, so I'll pick it up on Switch.
@sinalefa Why not both?
(Although I might be getting greedy here...)
@Junior117
That would be awesome of course but even just one is enough for me.
This is ok but the people need and want the promised TAIKO NO TATSUJIN and the completely unannounced and possibly never coming RHYTHM HEAVEN
