A demo for Terrifier: The ARTcade Game will be available on Nintendo Switch, according to SelectaPlay and Relevo.

As fans continue to test out various Nintendo Switch games on Switch 2, it’s now come to light that WWE 2K18 – one of the previous system’s worst ports – is dramatically improved on the new console.

One of the biggest issues surrounding the game was performance. In just about every area, there were significant struggles. WWE 2K18 attempted to hit 30 frames per second on Nintendo Switch, but that just didn’t happen. Also, rather than skipping frames, the action itself would slow down. Needless to say, it wasn’t a good experience.
