If you own Little Nightmares on Nintendo Switch, you won’t be able to upgrade to the new Enhanced Edition on Switch 2 – so you have to buy the game again. Bandai Namco has now commented on the decision.
In an FAQ, the company said that “technical constraints” prevented the upgrade. This goes against what’s happening on other platforms. For example, those who own the original 2017 version on PS4 will be able to upgrade to the PS5 Enhanced Edition for free.

Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
When Dynasty Warriors Origins comes to Nintendo Switch 2 early next year, it’ll run at 30 frames per second. Koei Tecmo has now commented on why that is.
Dynasty Warriors Origins originally ran at 60 FPS on other platforms. Technically, Nintendo Switch 2 could do this as well. Omega Force brand head Tomohiko Sho has indicated that 60 FPS would be possible on the console if they cut back on the amount of soldiers comparable to previous entries in the series.
