Dev says Nintendo is “still pretty cagey about letting games launch on Switch 2”, doesn’t want it to be “a giant slop fest”

Based on comments from New Blood Interactive’s Dave Oshry, Nintendo is being careful with which games it’s allowing on Switch 2.

New Blood Interactive has development kits and even has a new version of Dusk ready to go, which runs at 120 FPS. However, they haven’t been given the go ahead to actually bring it out. Oshry told RPG Site that Nintendo is “still pretty cagey about letting games launch on Switch 2” and mentioned that the company doesn’t “want it to just become a giant slop fest like the Switch 1 eShop”.

Oshry’s full words:

“We’ve got Switch 2 dev kits now. It’s not much different than the Switch 1. We’ve got Dusk running at 120fps with mouse controls on Switch 2. It works great. We’re just waiting for Nintendo to give us approval to actually launch it because they’re still pretty cagey about letting games launch on Switch 2.

They don’t 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’re still pretty choosy about who gets to launch their games on Switch 2, but Nintendo’s been very nice to us and stuff, giving us dev kits and letting us do updates for our games.”

These comments follow a recent report claiming that some studios are still struggling to even obtain development kits for Nintendo Switch 2. Read more about that here.
