In a recent interview with RPGsite about the upcoming Dusk dungeon crawler, Dungeons of Dusk, Dave Oshry of New Blood Interactive revealed something interesting . The publisher has Switch 2 dev kits now and already has Dusk up and running on the system at 120 FPS and with the option for mouse controls. Oshry noted they are waiting for Nintendo to approve the launch and that Nintendo is being cautious about game launches on the system.
If we only cared about money, we wouldn’t ship on anything but Steam these days, but we hate money, and we love our players. When people say, “Please put your games on Xbox,” we put them on Xbox. When people say, “Put them on PlayStation,” we put them on PlayStation. 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.
Hopefully we get a release of the game on Switch 2 soon. The interview also has a number of neat details about New Blood Interactive projects, and how platform holders responded to exclusive content and is worth checking out.
