When Trombone Champ came out on Steam last September, it was met with immediate internet hooplah. It’s a rhythm game like Guitar Hero, only you’re playing an unforgiving, brassy trombone. If you can’t get the hang of the game, you will be met with a comically awful trombone rendition of classic songs like “Auld Lang Syne” or a Beethoven symphony.
Now, this rootin’, tootin’, horn blowin’ game is coming to Nintendo Switch on Thursday. According to the trailer shown on the Nintendo Direct livestream, players can use two different methods of joy-con motion controls to play the trombone, which will only lead to more hilarious failures. In one control mode, you can move your hand in conjunction with your joy-con like it’s the slide on your trombone that you’re pushing back and forth. Or, you can just move the joy-con up and down. It’s very reminiscent of motion-controlled Wii games, which were a bit difficult to master.
Not everyone is so awful at Trombone Champ, though. Some people have modded the game to input hilariously difficult songs like “Megalovania” from the cult classic Undertale (see: one of my favorite videos on the internet ). As one YouTube commenter said: “ Internet rule 100: if it exists, there’s a Megalovania of it.”
And some people genuinely do love the game — a reviewer from PC Gamer earnestly said it was a game of the year contender.
“It’s not often I paste a short video of me playing a game into the PC Gamer work Slack and other writers immediately buy it on Steam,” the review reads. Finally, those of us without PCs can get in on the action.
On Steam, Trombone Champ sells for $14.99, with an aptly named expansion pack for $3.99, called “Wow I Might Refer To This As Tooting: The Trombone Champ Soundtrack Collection Vol. 1,” a play on the “Wow Now That’s What I Call Music” series. The pricing is the same on the Switch, but the expansion pack is not currently available.
At last, it’s time to live our brassy dreams. It’s probably harder to mod Trombone Champ on the Switch than on PC, so we’ll have to make due with the 50-ish available songs.

A new rumor has come up for the Nintendo Switch 2, this time about what games we might be seeing for the console’s launch.
We don’t see too many big western-themed AAA titles launch into the marketplace. However, Rockstar Games had made a real hit when they took on Red Dead Redemption.

A ratings board listed Red Dead Redemption 2 coming to the marketplace for the Nintendo Switch.
The Nintendo Switch is long past the traditional lifespan for a console and its technological limitations are rendering it unable to stand up to current generation systems for new games. Titles such as have struggled in making versions that can run on the outdated system, and Nintendo itself appears to be focusing heavily on remakes and remasters. As beloved as the Switch has been, and with as popular of a console as it continues to be, the next system will need to include many impressive features if it hopes to see similar numbers in sales.
