We're still missing these Nintendo Switch 2 Editions
Nintendo Everything • • technology
Key Points:
- Nintendo has released several Nintendo Switch 2 Editions this year, including titles like Super Mario Bros. Wonder and multiple Xenoblade Chronicles games, but the lineup lacks variety beyond RPGs.
- Many Pokémon games have not received Switch 2 Editions and remain locked at 30 frames per second, missing out on potential performance improvements such as 60 fps boosts, especially for titles like Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
- Kirby Star Allies and the Fire Emblem series (Three Houses and Engage) also lack Switch 2 Editions, with performance issues like frame drops that could benefit from upgrades, though Nintendo may avoid upgrades to protect sales of newer titles.
- Luigi’s Mansion 3 is unlikely to get a Switch 2 Edition as the developer, Next Level Games, appears focused on Luigi’s Mansion 4, despite the game’s potential for improved performance and resolution.
- Mario & Luigi: Brothership suffers from lag and low frame rates on the original Switch, making it a strong candidate for a performance boost in a future Switch 2 Edition.
