Games Industry has published a feature about indie games on the Nintendo Switch 2, or the lack of indie games on Nintendo Switch 2. One developer believes that Nintendo is holding back Switch 2 development kits for indie creators that need more power and whose work could not be accomplished on the original Nintendo Switch console. No Man’s Sky is one indie title which got the good early and have had a successful launch, but unfortunately others have not been so lucky. Hopefully demand is eventually met with supply.
Gowland thinks that in terms of sending out Switch 2 dev kits, Nintendo is prioritising titles that wouldn’t be doable on the previous console. “The indie folks I know who have been successful in getting kits are working on games that are in need of the Switch 2’s extra oomph,” he says.
“I believe due to the comprehensive backwards compatibility,” he continues, “their [Nintendo’s] current priority is to provide kits for titles that don’t have an OG Switch version in the works – at least that was the impression I got when we reached out about Into the Restless Ruins.”
Makes sense !
I hope Claid Obscur devs get a kit and port over that game. Would love to play it on Switch 2
I would definitely play Claid Obscur on Switch 2 and I would also play Clair Obscur on Switch 2 as well.
Make sense, you don’t really need a switch 2 dev kit if your focus is a switch 1 port. It would be nice to do a simultaneous release, but the switch 2 needs games that make you feel like you need one to play these games.
It would be nice if they could have done this simultaneously in all games.
Hahaha all the nintendrones that were previously dismissing expedition 33 all of a sudden hoping for a switch 2 port 🤣
Literally no one has been “dismissing” Expedition 33 lmao.
Keep seething neckbeard.
It’s impressive to see Nintendo’s commitment to fostering innovation in the indie game scene with the Switch 2. By prioritizing development kits for titles that leverage the enhanced capabilities of the new console, they are encouraging developers to push boundaries and create experiences that were previously unattainable on the original Switch. This approach not only supports indie creators but also enriches the gaming ecosystem with unique and ambitious projects.
