Fabraz is publishing SpiritSphere DX on Switch this spring. A mix of tennis and “magical beat down”, the new DX version will ship with new content and features.
One new element being added is a vertical mode. We’ve seen this with a few Switch games in the past. If enabled, you can hold the Switch vertically and use the screen space in a different way.
Fabraz took to Twitter today and showed what the mode looks like:
