Update (Fri 27th Mar, 2020 13:30 GMT): Gigantosaurus: The Game, a racing action game based on the popular animated series currently airing on Disney Junior, is launching today on Switch.
A brand new trailer for the game has been released alongside its launch (see above) and we have more details in our original article for you below. We'll also have a full review for you very soon, so make sure to check back with us to see if this could be an ideal way to entertain the whole family at home.
Original Article (Wed 15th Jan, 2020 10:30 GMT): Cyber Group Studios and Outright Games have revealed that the very first game based on the Gigantosaurus children's TV series is on the way, and it's coming to Switch.
Fittingly called Gigantosaurus: The Game, this one will have players exploring and racing across the prehistoric world seen in the show itself. It appears to blend your typical save the world-type adventuring with rally racing, and you'll be able to play as either Rocky, Tiny, Mazu, and Bill - the stars of the series.
Here's a little more on the series itself if you're unfamiliar; the show is currently airing its first season on Disney Junior worldwide and is also set to arrive on Netflix and other channels around the world throughout 2020:
Gigantosaurus is based on Jonny Duddle's bestselling book of the same name. Directed by award-winning director Olivier Lelardoux, the series takes preschoolers on exciting, comedy-filled adventures as they dare to be themselves and explore the world beyond their nests. In every episode, the curious young dinosaurs explore the mystery of "Gigantosaurus" – the biggest, fiercest dinosaur of all. They embark on a quest, facing their individual fears and working together to solve a problem. As the inquisitive Mazu, playful Tiny, timid Bill, and courageous Rocky aim to learn more about Gigantosaurus, they discover they each have something to learn from him, too!
We also have a list of key features for the game itself:
- Become a Fearless Leader- Join dino buddies Rocky, Tiny, Mazu and Bill on a daring quest to help Giganto and escape extinction
- Dino Racing - Hop in your race kart for a super rally to reach the next adventure zone and find out who's the fastest dinosaur
- Play Together - You and up to 3 friends can control your favorite dino and create co-operative adventures together
The game will be launching both physically and digitally on 27th March with a recommended retail price of $39.99.
Do you know any fans of the show who would love to get their hands on this?

No.....No I don’t think I will
@ShankyMcSpanky i feel an maybe is coming to you if you see more gameplay lol. But first impression is the right one though
Friendly reminder that this gets a physical release while stuff like Doom Classic and DMC get nada...
I saw it was coming to the PS4 the other day and wondered why there hadn't been a Switch version announced as it didn't look like it was something that would have been too taxing for the Switch.
My 4 year old loves the Giganotosaurus book and cartoon, so I might buy this for us to play together if turns out OK.
This is good for the kids, they love simple games like this.
Glad for those that will get this, but not the Disney I was looking for.
Framerate looks terrible!
@Tandy255 What do you mean, Disney always has these games.
Might pick this up for my daughter. I just got her the Switch Lite with a few games and this looks like it might be her speed. She’s just starting to get into gaming.
No idea what the series is, but I am interested in the game. Definitely waiting for a price drop, but still interested.
@mesome713, I am still hoping we will get the Disney Afternoon Collection on Switch.
I finally did buy it for Steam in a Humble Bumble sale, but I do most of my gaming on the Switch and would love to have it there.
@Tandy255 O I gotcha.
