Marvel Rivals producer Weicong Wu mentioned that the game couldn’t be released on the original Nintendo Switch due to the handheld device not being able to provide ‘a great experience’ for gameplay. Wu further stated, \”We’re already in contact with Nintendo and working on some development kits. And whenever we find that we could provide great performance for our game on Switch 2, we’re open to that.\” Nintendo promises to share more information about the Switch 2 at the upcoming Nintendo Direct conference on April 2, 2025. The game is still not available for Nintendo Switch users, as it was only made available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC users at launch. The upcoming Switch 2 is expected to offer greater performance than the predecessor, and therefore the developer team is open to bringing the game to this console. Nintendo filed a patent that demonstrated the Joy-Con controllers to have mouse-like functions, so Marvel Rivals with its fast movements could potentially benefit from it.
