Those looking for more rhythm gaming kicks on the Switch will have been pleased by the announcement of Floor Kids during today's Nindie Showcase; it'll come to Switch 'first' in the Holiday season.

It's a project with a fascinating history - Canadian animator JonJon produced some animated shorts in 2007-2008, with music by Kid Koala. After years of the characters and music featuring in Kid Koala's concerts, in 2014 Hololabs and Envision Management and Production were brought on board to turn it into a game. The end result looks rather stylish.

Floor Kids is a unique breakdance game featuring dance battles, freestyle gameplay, and funky beats. Discover original hand-drawn animation, a fresh soundtrack by Kid Koala and innovative controls that allow you the freedom to play the way you like. Lead your crew of bboys and bgirls through the city, unlock new characters & locations, battle against your friends, discover new combos as you rock to the beat, and find your style!

It'll have eight characters to choose from and more than 24 tracks from Kid Koala, and on Switch single- and multiplayer modes will support both physical and touchscreen controls.

Are you feeling the funky beat of this one?
