The Switch 2 is already starting to show its seams

Key Points:

• Despite the Switch 2's impressive ability to run modern games with minimal compromises, developers face significant technical challenges when porting certain titles, especially those built on Unreal Engine 5, due to incomplete engine support on the console.
• Sandfall Interactive revealed difficulties in bringing their acclaimed RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 to Switch 2 because many Unreal Engine 5 features, such as Blueprints, are not fully compatible yet, leaving developers reliant on future Epic Games updates.
• Other high-profile Switch 2 ports like Borderlands 4 and Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition have experienced delays or challenges, with Elden Ring's upcoming release serving as a key test of the console's ability to handle demanding open-world games.
• While companies like Capcom and Square Enix have managed to optimize games like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth for the Switch 2, smaller studios may struggle with the resource-intensive process, indicating that not all third-party games will be available on the platform.
• The newsletter also highlights recent and upcoming Nintendo releases, including the console debut of Moss: The Forgotten Relic, the return of classic shoot-’em-up Truxton Extreme, and recommended music from Wave Race 64 to enjoy the summer.
