Originally released in 2024 for VR consoles, “Maestro is a unique rhythm game where you conduct a symphonic orchestra using just your hands. Every gesture matters, your hands are precisely tracked to keep the tempo, cue the instruments, and shape the music in real time,” explains the game description. “The music is yours to direct, not to follow.”

The game currently has an “overwhelmingly positive” review score on Steam and now developers have confirmed that Maestro is coming to the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 on September 17, 2026.

“Maestro, the rhythm game that lets you play as an orchestra conductor in a Parisian opera house, is now finding a new natural home on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2,” reads a press release. “You’ll of course be utilising your Joy-Con to conduct the music.” The Switch will also include a new song ‘Ashes On The Fire’ from the Attack On Titan anime.
