Indie developer Bromio has announced that its upcoming brawler Pato Box will launch on Nintendo Switch on 9th July.
Pato Box is an adventure fighting game inspired by the Punch-Out!! series, taking players on a surreal boxing quest with a duck. Yes, an actual duck. The game adopts a graphic novel style presentation throughout, with fast-paced fights that have been designed to test your reflexes as a true boxing champion.
The Nintendo Switch version will include all updates seen in the already-released Steam edition of the game such as the Arcade mode and the secret boss. You can check out a full feature list right here:
FEATURES:
- Find the truth on Story Mode, a single player adventure filled with surprises and 3D environments as well as 2D boss fights!
- Fight your way through Arcade Mode, defeat all the bosses as fast as possible one at a time or all in row with a special boss at the end!
- Challenging and surreal 2D fights with a comic book art style.
- Motion control support that will make you the real boxing champion!
- Amazing Soundtrack by Controvol (with an additional track from guest artist Vangal) that will fill you with adrenaline.
- Ducks! Lots of ducks!
As mentioned above, Pato Box will be available on 9th July, but a 10% pre-order discount is also scheduled to become available on 2nd July from the Nintendo eShop.
This certainly looks like an intriguing title to us. Will you be watching out for this one when it launches early next month? Let us know if you're interested with a cheeky comment.

Ironically I didn’t see the main character ducking throughout the trailer.
@Balladeer Yeah, as far as boxing skills go, he's a total quack...
I'd love to be confirmed that motion controls are not mandatory.
What about the price ?
King of Dragon Pass has taught me not to mess with anthropomorphic ducks.
So desperate for another Punch-Out!! game that I might bite depending upon the price...
This looks good. Hope it's a fair price
Duck-Out
A duck with no feathers? I'll pass.....this is totally unrealistic
Punch out(Wii) is one of the few games were motion controls were more than a gimmick(it was also great for exercise) so if this comes close to what punch out Wii was motion control wise it’s an easy buy
Looks interesting. I hope a review gets published before the discount period ends. Anyway, it will depend on the price, of course. More than 10 € for a digital game is something I'm not willing to pay.
I don't think that's what you'd call an "actual" duck.

Not interested.
"Yes, an actual duck."
Day one.
Looks like the love child of Punch Out! and Madworld.
It could do with some red for the hits.
For those wondering price, it’s $14.99 in the US shop. I hope reviews are out before the game so I can take part in the 10% off.
This looks amazing!!!
WWOOO this is made by friends of mine. Totally Mexican. Buy it, have tried it, it’s really fun and challenging
@Tibob no, they are not mandatory
Not buying it but is a very much welcome addition to the eShop. Something fresh despite the inspiration... this is how you pull it off!!
Aflac!
@justin233 So with 10% off, that makes it $13.49 at launch.
@onex not bad imo.
The Frank Miller Sin City inspired comic book style looks cool!
@CaPPa : I was thinking the same thing.
I'm not particularly interested in "copycat" games, so I'll be patient and wait for a Punch-Out!! sequel or port.
There's so many things I like in a whimsical way with this game, but I can't wait to read the review for it.
