It\u2019s not much different than the Switch 1. We\u2019ve got Dusk running at 120fps with mouse controls on Switch 2. It works great. We\u2019re just waiting for Nintendo to give us approval to actually launch it because they\u2019re still pretty cagey about letting games launch on Switch 2.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t want it to just become a giant slop fest like the Switch 1 eShop became after a few years with just tons of shovelware on there. They\u2019re still pretty choosy about who gets to launch their games on Switch 2, but Nintendo\u2019s been very nice to us and stuff, giving us dev kits and letting us do updates for our games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These comments follow a recent report claiming that some studios are still struggling to even obtain development kits for Nintendo Switch 2.
