Marvel Rivals, the acclaimed hero shooter, is a smash hit on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. However, NetEase, the developer, has consistently stated it won't be released on the original Nintendo Switch due to performance limitations. But what about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2?
Recent conversations with Marvel Rivals producer Weicong Wu at the DICE Summit in Las Vegas offer a glimmer of hope for Switch fans. Wu confirmed that NetEase is actively engaging with Nintendo, acquiring development kits, and exploring a potential Switch 2 release. He explicitly stated that the original Switch's hardware limitations prevented a satisfactory gaming experience, but a Switch 2 port is a strong possibility if performance targets can be met.
The Nintendo Switch 2, officially unveiled last month, promises enhanced power and features compared to its predecessor. Rumored mouse-like controller functionality could potentially elevate the shooter experience, bringing it closer to PC controls. The specifics, however, remain under wraps.
While a release date for the Switch 2 is still pending (a Nintendo Direct is scheduled for April 2nd), Marvel Rivals is currently available on other platforms. Our 8/10 review praised the game, stating it "may be following closely in the slipstream of the hero shooters that have come before it, but by doing so Marvel Rivals has firmly placed itself in a strong position to take the crown for itself." The Human Torch and The Thing are slated to join the roster on February 21st.
