Zundamon Joins ‘QQQbeats!!!’ on Nintendo Switch: A Sweet Blast of Japanese Kawaii Culture and Rhythm Puzzle Action!

Zundamon Sweetens the Beat in ‘QQQbeats!!!’ with New DLC and Free Music Updates

The vibrant world of Nintendo Switch™ rhythm-puzzle game QQQbeats!!! (pronounced “Kyu Kyu Kyu Beats”) expands today with the release of its highly anticipated first character pack, “Character Pack Zundamon.” This marks a significant moment for fans, as the charming Zundamon, a fairy inspired by the traditional Japanese sweet zunda mochi (mashed edamame paste rice cake), brings a fresh, green twist to the game. Alongside this paid DLC, players can also dive into four new free songs via an online update (Ver.1.1.0), enjoy the game’s first-ever holiday sale, and groove to the newly released original soundtrack.

Zundamon’s Arrival: A Green Twist to Bubble Popping

Zundamon, known as a support character for the Tohoku region, manifests in QQQbeats!!! with unique abilities. This adorable fairy, who typically transforms into the “Zunda Arrow” wielded by Tohoku Zunko, now unleashes a “Zunda Blast” skill that turns three of an opponent’s bubbles into “Zunda Shot” bubbles. These special shots then convert other bubbles on the field into green bubbles, adding a strategic depth that is both sweet and satisfying. Fans are already buzzing with excitement over Zundamon’s unique ‘Zunda Blast’ skill, which transforms opponent’s bubbles into green ones—a sweet, strategic twist!
