The mobile version and Switch version are both a bit different in selections and menus, but the game is functionally the same.

Pianista is a good, no frills, rhythm game. As the title suggests, this is all piano music from a fairly typical classical repertoire so don't expect your usual rhythm game fodder - you're here for Dvorak and Tchaikovsky, not Smile DK and Hatsune Miku. (Is Smile DK even around? I feel like that's almost as outdated a reference as the music actually here).

My personal recommendation is to get a keyboard controller for your Switch and play that way - but I'm just not a touch screen fan so to each their own on that front.
Fairly entry level, so great for kids and newcomers to rhythm games, and also a wonderful introduction to music now that Loony Tunes are no longer huge to introduce more people to classical music.
