The Nintendo Switch 2, released in June 2025, is popular but faces problems for game developers. Many studios find it hard to get development kits needed to make games for the new console. Nintendo is giving these kits mostly to small indie developers, leaving big studios waiting. Some games like Elden Ring and Borderlands 4 have performance issues on Switch 2, causing concern. Developers say Nintendo tells them to release games on the original Switch instead, relying on backward compatibility. This limits the variety and quality of games on Switch 2. Despite this, some games like Final Fantasy 7 run well on the new console. The shortage of development kits makes it difficult for many studios to create games that fully use Switch 2’s power. To help, developers need easier access to these kits to improve game quality on Switch 2. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 02:09 IST; source: link)
