This big news originated from a Twitter post published by O2Jam’s slightly obscure social media account. The tweet mentions that the game will launch on Nintendo Switch ports by 2023. Aside from that, the game will also feature 4 button modes: 4B, 5B, 6B, and 7B. As of the moment, there isn’t many additional information regarding O2Jam Rebirth. We’ll just have to keep ourselves posted with their official Twitter page for further announcements.

The developers behind O2Jam Rebirth are currently working with a small team. Some Twitter users asked the team if a PC port would eventually be released as well. Given the amount of manpower the team currently has, we're guessing that it’ll be difficult to divide their attention on multiple platform releases – specially two very different platforms such as the PC and the Nintendo Switch. However, the developers did reassure fans that it’s definitely on the table as long as the Switch port will be a success.
Before games like Osu!, Rockband, and Guitar Hero came out, O2Jam was the Rhythm game that started it all. Unfortunately, the publishers behind the game known as e-Games went bankrupt and had no other choice but to shut down servers. Avid fans of the game didn’t even get to properly say goodbye to O2Jam. At least this time around, a new developer decided to remake the game which is good news for the fans. Hopefully, the devs could recreate the magic of O2Mania they once did in 2003.
