Korean developer Superb Corp. has announced Pianista: The Legendary Virtuoso, a rhythm game set to be released on Nintendo Switch.

Pianista: The Legendary Virtuoso is described as "a high-end piano music game", featuring music from 23 of the world's greatest composers from the Baroque to the Romantic period. The game has been developed exclusively for Switch, with players able to use either the touchscreen or standard button options. Looking at the trailer, the touchscreen option certainly looks like the best way to go; the face buttons might get a little fiddly with any complicated patterns.
