A launch trailer is now available for Garfield: Escape From Monday, a 3D platformer that arrived on Nintendo Switch this week.

He can use turkey, surfer, and cowboy outfits while receiving help from Jon, Odie, Arlene, and Pookie.
The launch trailer marks the Nintendo Switch release of Garfield: Escape From Monday, a 3D platformer that arrived this week. Players guide Garfield through a spinach-lasagna-induced nightmare, exploring three worlds and dozens of levels while battling enemies and collecting lasagnas to restore his taste.
Garfield can wear turkey, surfer, and cowboy outfits, each granting distinct abilities, while Jon, Odie, Arlene, and Pookie assist. Nermal and Squeak appear as adversaries. Collectibles also let players refurbish Jon’s house. The title is sold both physically and digitally.
The release may appeal to families, nostalgic Garfield fans, and younger Switch owners seeking accessible platformers. Its physical and digital availability could help retail visibility, while the familiar license may draw casual players who don’t follow eShop releases. If it performs well, it could encourage more comic-strip or cartoon adaptations on Switch, though reception and pricing may shape whether it reaches beyond licensed-game audiences.
