Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Speaking in an interview with Nintendo Everything, Shin’en CEO Manfred Linzner revealed that the team is using “completely new rendering tech” in its upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 launch game Fast Fusion.
Linzner was talking about the capabilities of the console when that tidbit was shared. “It’s amazing how much power you can get out of a device that also works as a handheld,” he said. And because of that power, we should be seeing a better looking title compared to the studio’s Switch 1 launch title Fast RMX. Linzner told us that compared to that game, Fast Fusion will have a world that’s “much more alive and beautiful.”
