Namco Legendary Mountains coming to Switch, Switch 2

Bandai Namco and developer BeXide announced Namco Legendary Mountains, a puzzle game for Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2. The game uses a merge mechanic popularized by Suika Game: players drop matching voxel capsules into a 3D spinning dish so they collide and combine into larger figures that depict classic Namco characters.

Players rotate the dish to view the play area from all angles and place incoming voxel capsules into the arena. When two matching capsules collide, they transform into the next larger voxel. Chains of merges produce progressively larger figures. Controls are described as simple, with placement and field management the main tasks. Pieces that fall off the dish are lost, creating a risk of reduced progress.

Namco Legendary Mountains includes dedicated stages themed to PAC-MAN, DIG DUG, XEVIOUS, MAPPY and THE TOWER OF DRUAGA, plus a main stage that blends elements from multiple titles. The publisher plans to include the series’ original music on those stages.

The game features a collection system with more than 100 unlockable voxel capsules. A Collection Room lets players arrange unlocked figures for display. A score attack mode supports online leaderboards for global high-score comparison.

BeXide did not provide a specific release date beyond saying the game will arrive sometime this summer for Switch and Switch 2. Screenshots and a Steam store page are available, showing the voxel art style and the 3D dish playfield.

The game follows a trend of recent puzzle titles that adopt the simple merge loop made popular by Suika Game after its 2021 release. Namco Legendary Mountains applies that loop to Bandai Namco’s arcade roster, adapting the match-and-merge formula to a three-dimensional arena with collectible figures.
