The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Onimusha: Way of the Sword will have some lower specs, but producer Akihito Kadowaki says that \u201cyou may not even be able to feel a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.famitsu.com\/article\/202608\/83267\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Famitsu<\/a> was able to speak with Kadowaki as well as director Satoru Nihei. During the discussion, the Japanese magazine brought up how the Nintendo Switch 2 version felt just as good as the PS5 version.<\/p>\n<p>Kadowaki as well as director Satoru Nihei said the following (translated by Nintendo Everything) in response:<\/p>\n<p>Kadowaki: I think we made it really well, so well you may not even be able to feel a difference. Honestly speaking, we only started working on a Switch 2 version partway through development, but based on how playtesting felt, we thought, \u201cThis really could compete with the other platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If we really talk about the details, there is a difference in the picture quality and frame rate. While other systems can output 60 FPS or higher, the Nintendo Switch 2 version is 30 FPS, but we feel that either is enough to be able to really enjoy and taste the action.<\/p>\n<p>Nihei: The ease of playing while in handheld mode became a talking point amongst the development staff. Being able to fully play the game while laying down in bed is simply incredible, right?<\/p>\n<p>Onimusha: Way of the Sword is planned for September 4, 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2, up from its initial September 25 release date.
