Game development for the Nintendo Switch 2 is reportedly being hindered, with some studios suggesting that Nintendo is discouraging development for the new console. Some outlets report that Nintendo is being stingy with Switch 2 development kits, while others indicate that studios are being told to focus on developing games for the original Switch, relying on backwards compatibility instead. The situation has led to uncertainty among game developers, with some games already being released for the Switch 2, while others are still in development.
