Is the Switch 2 everything they could have hoped for, or are there any anxieties that come with the uncertainty of a new console launch?<\/p>\n<p>We spoke to a handful of developers and publishers from across the industry to hear their gut reaction to the console and their plans for the future. Here&#8217;s who we spoke to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Adam Tierney,<\/strong> <strong>James Montagna,<\/strong> <strong>Matt Bozon<\/strong> &#8211; WayForward (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/advance_wars_1plus2_re-boot_camp\">Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/yars_rising\">Yars Rising<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/shantae\">Shantae<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Andy Pearson<\/strong> &#8211; PQube (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/potion_permit\">Potion Permit<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/gal_guardians_demon_purge\">Gal Guardians: Demon Purge<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gavin Price<\/strong> &#8211; Playtonic (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/yooka-laylee\">Yooka-Laylee<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/yooka-laylee_and_the_impossible_lair\">Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Harris Foster<\/strong> &#8211; Big Fan Games<\/li>\n<li><strong>Manfred Linzner<\/strong> &#8211; Shin&#8217;en (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/fast_rmx\">Fast RMX<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/3ds\/nano_assault\">Nano Assault<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/fast-fusion\">Fast Fusion<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sophie Smart<\/strong> &#8211; No More Robots (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/lets_build_a_zoo\">Let&#8217;s Build A Zoo<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/fashion_police_squad\">Fashion Police Squad<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tomm Hulett<\/strong> &#8211; WayForward (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/ds\/contra_4\">Contra 4<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/contra_operation_galuga\">Contra: Operation Galuga<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>???<\/strong> &#8211; Another dev wished to remain anonymous &#8220;for fear of being on a flagged list&#8221; \u2014 their responses are marked below as <strong>Anon<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Note.

The Switch 2\u2019s mouse capabilities in the new Joy-Con controllers is particularly interesting to me \u2014 as someone who plays the occasional mouse-controlled game from the couch, I\u2019m excited to see how Nintendo\u2019s approach can improve this experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Bozon (WayForward):<\/strong> I really enjoy playing with my current Switch in handheld mode, so it\u2019s exciting to have a larger screen and more power for gaming on the go. I always look forward to playing Nintendo\u2019s newest generation of games; they never fail to be fun and inspiring!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture\" data-uuid=\"8dad9baff0119\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Metroid Prime 4\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/8dad9baff0119\/metroid-prime-4.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/8dad9baff0119\/metroid-prime-4.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Metroid Prime 4\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Image: Nintendo<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Manfred Linzner (Shin&#8217;en):<\/strong> We were super happy to see the first-party titles like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/mario-kart-world\">Mario Kart World<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/donkey-kong-bananza\">Donkey Kong Bananza<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/metroid-prime-4-beyond-nintendo-switch-2-edition\">Metroid Prime 4<\/a>. Great quality and fresh ideas from Nintendo, as expected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sophie Smart (No More Robots):<\/strong> I really enjoyed watching it! It felt the appropriate length for such an anticipated announcement and was jam-packed with explanations of the console itself, how things will work now with games between Switch and Switch 2, and new and existing titles! However, I do feel that Nintendo played it safe and stuck with the winning formula of the Switch, whereas we are used to Nintendo completely reinventing itself between generations.<\/p>\n<p>The main feature which I feel is most \u2018Nintendo\u2019 and out there is the Joy-Con turning into mice to control parts of games. Since we have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/hypnospace_outlaw\">Hypnospace Outlaw<\/a>, a &#8217;90s internet simulator, in our game catalogue at No More Robots, it makes me excited to see whether we can organise a port to utilise the technology to feel like you are actually browsing the web!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adam Tierney (WayForward):<\/strong> I\u2019m excited about the multiplayer features to better connect players to one another online. Being able to see each other\u2019s screens in games, chat with each other, and even see video of each other could all be very interesting going forward, from a developer perspective.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gavin Price (Playtonic):<\/strong> I loved it. I\u2019ve got my pre-order in, let\u2019s put it that way (and I\u2019ve not been a day-one purchaser of any console for a few generations)! I\u2019m interested in the 120Hz refresh rate and how that can enable more options for players to enjoy games their way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anon:<\/strong> As a consumer, I\u2019m excited as [it] seems like games that would have skipped the Switch are coming, but I also own a Steam deck and would probably purchase there cheaper. I just want awesome exclusives. As a game designer, the dual mouse control has me most excited. [It] should open up some interesting new ways to play and even a few games we\u2019ve developed that don\u2019t work for controller but would be perfect for mouse.<\/p>\n<p><strong>James Montagna (WayForward):<\/strong> The Switch 2 showcase was fantastic! From both a developer and gamer perspective, seeing the innovations Nintendo brought to the table genuinely fired me up. Knowing some of the talented Nintendo engineers personally and seeing the passion they put into their craft made the reveal feel even more special. It\u2019s always inspiring watching Nintendo shape the future of gaming like only they can. For me, the enhanced HD Rumble 2 stood out the most. I&#8217;m already picturing how incredible it&#8217;ll feel to dual-wield Joy-Con in mouse mode, experiencing subtle ticking, buzzing, pulsing, and sensations I can&#8217;t even fully describe yet. That next-level immersion is exactly the kind of thing that excites me as a game creator.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Andy Pearson (PQube):<\/strong> We&#8217;re particularly enthusiastic about the more powerful processing capabilities, which means players can experience titles much closer to (or exactly as) their developers originally intended them to be played.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tomm Hulett (WayForward):<\/strong> Well, I&#8217;m a huge <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps4\/bloodborne\" class=\"external\">Bloodborne<\/a> fan, so\u2026. But besides <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/duskbloods\">Duskbloods<\/a>, I was actually really happy to hear about the &#8216;S2 Enhanced&#8217; edition games and to see how much content was being added to Nintendo&#8217;s titles and potentially third parties as well. It&#8217;s a really cool way to refresh older games and urge a replay.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Are there any unanswered questions you still have, or specific features you\u2019d like to see added to the console?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Harris Foster:<\/strong> With digital libraries becoming the norm on consoles, we\u2019ve grown accustomed to our collection carrying forward \u2014 this will be my first time going through the process on a Nintendo platform, so I&#8217;m most curious about how it&#8217;ll handle this. I think it\u2019s safe to say that we\u2019ve all amassed a large digital library of original Switch titles, so I\u2019m keen to see how easy it will be to carry games and saves from Switch to Switch 2.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture\" data-uuid=\"27a14e66ba5e0\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Switch 2 - Mouse Mode\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/27a14e66ba5e0\/switch-2-mouse-mode.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/27a14e66ba5e0\/switch-2-mouse-mode.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"510\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Switch 2 - Mouse Mode\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Image: Damien McFerran \/ Nintendo Life<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"right\">\n<p>I am curious if it&#8217;s technically possible to use that functionality for certain games that require two screens<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Tomm Hulett:<\/strong> Since you can use the original Switch as a controller\/share supported multiplayer games to Switch\u2026 I am curious if it&#8217;s technically possible to use that functionality for certain games that require two screens. Maybe for consoles that aren&#8217;t on NSO yet. Though I might just be craving the gamer cred of completing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/ds\/contra_4\">Contra 4<\/a> on such an unusual setup. But hey, maybe you could play <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/ds\/hotel_dusk_room_215\">Hotel Dusk<\/a> while lying sideways in bed!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gavin Price:<\/strong> I think it\u2019s clear to see what Nintendo believes should be standard for enjoying Nintendo Switch 2 experiences. I can only imagine how it might be thinking of how to make a game about chatting with other players! I kind of hoped for an interactive LED\/second screen-fronted dock, but I can appreciate this would cause a disparity with how games can be enjoyed in docked mode uniquely vs handheld modes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Andy Pearson:<\/strong> While the hardware announcements have been impressive, we&#8217;re eager to learn more about improvements to the digital storefront and whether Nintendo has plans to enhance discoverability features. As the eShop catalogue continues to grow, better navigation tools and recommendation systems would greatly benefit both players and developers. We&#8217;re also curious about potential new social features and online capabilities and how they can be utilised in future games.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/nintendo-switch-2\/related-articles:177664 @ 1766913155 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p><strong>Sophie Smart:<\/strong> Not features per se, however, I do feel that we might need to see a Switch 2.5 or a \u2018Pro\u2019 version sooner rather than later. I can imagine an OLED version or a version which is slightly more powerful or holds a longer battery life would be something people would want!<\/p>\n<p><strong>James Montagna:<\/strong> Nintendo covered a ton of ground already, so nothing major jumps out. But the game-maker in me is always eager to dive deeper into those smaller technical details and subtle features that don\u2019t always get headline space. Mostly, I\u2019m just excited to keep exploring everything the Switch 2 has to offer. (Although, with all new social features, I admit I can\u2019t help but secretly hope for a fresh take on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/3ds-eshop\/nintendo_letter_box\">Swapnote<\/a> [Nintendo Letter Box] \u2014 I miss the connection that comes with exchanging fun art and messages with friends.)<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Do you have plans to support Switch 2? Is a Switch 2 release more important than a \u2018Switch 1\u2019 release in 2025?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Andy Pearson:<\/strong> We will absolutely be supporting the Switch 2 with our upcoming titles. Rather than viewing it as &#8220;more important&#8221; than the original Switch, we see it as a positive evolution. The Switch 2&#8217;s launch represents an exciting opportunity to reach new audiences while continuing to support the extensive existing player base.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sophie Smart:<\/strong> I would say a Switch 2 release would be super important to anyone right now! Mainly because there won\u2019t be that many Switch 2 titles around launch, so it\u2019ll allow your game to stand out and take advantage of the power. A lot of games no longer get a Switch port on release because of the low specs of the Switch, so this will open a lot more doors for games currently in development.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gavin Price:<\/strong> We do have plans, but when and how they manifest is too early to share. I am in no way smart enough to answer the second part of that question. Switch 1 has a huge following, and I\u2019m sure early Switch 2 purchasers will be ravenous for new, unique experiences too.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture\" data-uuid=\"d56ed12e15d74\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Switch 2 - Joy-Con Comparison\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/d56ed12e15d74\/switch-2-joy-con-comparison.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/d56ed12e15d74\/switch-2-joy-con-comparison.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Switch 2 - Joy-Con Comparison\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Image: Zion Grassl \/ Nintendo Life<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Anon:<\/strong> I do think this will be like the PS4&gt;PS5 upgrade where people on day one will have access to new games and a huge back catalogue, so not the \u201cgold rush\u201d that existed when Switch came out, and there was a fresh new store.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manfred Linzner:<\/strong> Switch 1 was very important for us. On launch day we had Fast RMX available, and later we released (among other games) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/touryst\">The Touryst<\/a> for it, which was one of our finest games so far according to press and players. So Nintendo Switch was super important to us. And the same is true for Nintendo Switch 2. We will support it on launch day with Fast Fusion and already [have] two more projects [planned] for it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adam Tierney:<\/strong> There\u2019s no info we can provide right now, but suffice to say, WayForward loves working with Nintendo to develop new and original games for all its systems, and we\u2019re very excited to develop games for the Switch 2!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Do you have Switch 2 dev kits, and if so, how long have you had them?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Manfred Linzner:<\/strong> As we were developing a launch title, we had dev kits, but we can&#8217;t reveal any details.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sophie Smart:<\/strong> We\u2019re currently in discussions with Nintendo about securing a dev kit.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"left\">\n<p>[it&#8217;s] hard to feel excited when we don\u2019t have any insight into timing for [dev kits] either. We can&#8217;t plan.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Anon:<\/strong> We\u2019re one of the many devs who don\u2019t have access to dev kits. Even though [we&#8217;re] working on a large title now which we feel would be worthy of a dev kit, we have zero info. Even post-reveal, we\u2019ve been given zero info, as have many other devs (even larger and more prestigious than us). So, [it&#8217;s] hard to feel excited when we don\u2019t have any insight into timing for them either. We can&#8217;t plan.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How much impact does Switch 2\u2019s increased power have on your approach to game development?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>James Montagna:<\/strong> It\u2019s huge for us. More powerful hardware doesn\u2019t just mean prettier graphics; it dramatically expands the possibilities for innovative and complex gameplay ideas that previously were just out of reach. Having fewer constraints on performance means we can experiment more boldly, push boundaries, and bring ambitious concepts to life. As a creator, that freedom is incredibly exciting\u2026 and it really feels like we&#8217;re stepping into fresh territory creatively.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sophie Smart:<\/strong> At the end of the day, the power upgrades are not hugely rivalling other competitors. However, it will help us to make better versions of our existing games on Switch for Switch 2 and have versions of our less intensive games on Switch 2, which may not have been able to run on Switch.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture\" data-uuid=\"ef5d00af12bae\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Switch 2\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/ef5d00af12bae\/switch-2.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/ef5d00af12bae\/switch-2.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"507\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Switch 2\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Image: Nintendo<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Manfred Linzner:<\/strong> For Fast RMX on Nintendo Switch, there were only a few technical options for us on how to make a detailed yet high-performance game. On Nintendo Switch 2, we now have broader technical possibilities and much more power. We already learned a lot by creating Fast Fusion for Nintendo Switch 2, but we are looking forward to finding new untapped potential that is only possible with the new hardware.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Andy Pearson:<\/strong> The increased power of the Switch 2 has a substantial impact on our development approach. It enables us to more faithfully preserve creators&#8217; original visions for their games, which is tremendously exciting for our team. The original Switch, while revolutionary in many ways, presented certain technical challenges when we aimed for simultaneous multi-platform releases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gavin Price:<\/strong> For our last release, Yooka-Laylee &amp; The Impossible Lair, we set targets for Nintendo Switch early and other platforms followed on from it. We\u2019ll probably take the same approach again moving forward for our multiplatform releases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Harris Foster:<\/strong> Any gain in power is a win for developers \u2014 whether it be the opportunity to throttle up visuals or increase performance under the hood. While we don\u2019t have any specific Switch 2 anecdotes to share at this time, we\u2019re feeling very positive about the spec bump the system is promising.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tomm Hulett:<\/strong> I wouldn&#8217;t say it changes my approach to design at all because I tend to follow interesting ideas or compelling gameplay, but it will certainly be more pleasant asking my lead programmer to implement some of my wilder ideas! Anything that keeps the lead programmer happy is a plus in my book.<\/p>\n<h2>Do you plan to support physical releases on Switch 2, and has your approach to this changed since the last console generation?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Andy Pearson:<\/strong> Yes, physical releases remain a core speciality for our company, and we intend to continue supporting this format with as many of our Switch 2 titles as possible. We recognise the importance of physical media to collectors and many Nintendo fans, and this commitment hasn&#8217;t changed from the previous console generation.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"left\">\n<p>I do feel that we might need to see a Switch 2.5 or a \u2018Pro\u2019 version sooner rather than later<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Sophie Smart:<\/strong> The physical landscape for games has tumbled over recent years. In our experience, it doesn\u2019t always lead to profit. However, we still like to do it for some games because it\u2019s really cool to have a physical box with art which you can hold in your hands of the thing you\u2019ve worked on! We\u2019ll likely end up taking the same approach with Switch 2.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture\" data-uuid=\"3a309d43b2844\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Switch Games\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/3a309d43b2844\/switch-games.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/3a309d43b2844\/switch-games.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Switch Games\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Image: Gemma Smith \/ Nintendo Life<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Adam Tierney:<\/strong> WayForward loves developing content that users can enjoy both digitally and physically. It\u2019s our intention to continue that tradition with the Switch 2 and all future consoles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gavin Price:<\/strong> We love physical, so I\u2019m sure we will consider it when we have the chance. Our approach hasn\u2019t changed, I think the physical market is still how it has been the past five or so years, with strong appetite amongst a very passionate fanbase plus a broader gaming audience who like to purchase and have something tangible for themselves or to gift others with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manfred Linzner<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> We love physical releases. For instance, Nintendo published our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wiiu-eshop\/fast_racing_neo\">FAST Racing NEO<\/a> on Wii U disc, and we had a couple of special releases with Super Rare Games for Nintendo Switch. However, as an indie developer with low-priced games, it is not easy to support physical releases, but we will keep trying where it makes sense.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em>These responses have been edited for brevity and clarity.<\/em> <em>Thank you to everyone who took the time to talk to us.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/nintendo-switch-2\/related-articles:176172,181060 @ 1766912380 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image: Damien McFerran \/ Nintendo Life Over the holiday season, we&#8217;re republishing some of the best articles from Nintendo Life writers and contributors from 2025.
