Pizza Tower has arrived on the Nintendo Switch at long last today. Tour De Pizza’s zany platformer was a darling of the indie scene in 2023, but it was confined entirely to PC. This week, that changes as Pizza Tower and all of its free content updates come over to Nintendo’s hybrid console.

Tour De Pizza got a primo spot on Nintendo’s Indie World Direct showcase today. As of now, the game is available for Switch players to purchase and download. What’s more, Fangamer is launching a physical collector’s edition of the game that includes a physical copy and a Peppino egg timer. Purchases are unavailable at this time, but will open in the near future, and you can register for notifications of when it goes live.

Pizza Tower was one of Shacknews’ Top 23 Indie Games of 2023, landing at the lofty #3 spot, but it was also voted our Game That Should Be On Nintendo Switch 2023. The need is fulfilled. Now all that’s left is to join Peppino on his wacky sprint through dozens of delectable levels as the game hits Switch’s eShop today!
