When Rocket League launches on Switch, you can expect it to run at 60 FPS and 720p. This applies to both docked and portable modes. The team is prioritizing performance over visual fidelity, hence the decision to settle on 720p.
This information comes from Enric Alvarez, Head of Studio at MercurySteam…
“Metroid is one of the most recognized Nintendo franchises and we are so honoured to collaborate with them on the latest game in the saga of space-faring bounty hunter Samus Aran. Our collaboration with Nintendo will give gamers around the world the chance to play this fantastic adventure in a completely new way not seen before”.
This information comes from Yoshio Sakamoto, senior officer of Nintendo’s Entertainment Planning & Development Department, and the producer of the overall Metroid franchise…
“The development of this Metroid game with Mercury Steam has gone very smoothly and more than anything, it has been very exciting. Metroid: Samus Returns is based on the GameBoy classic Metroid II: Return of Samus, and we are very confident that this collaboration with Mercury Steam is the reason we have been able to successfully pull together various features like actions never seen before in the Metroid series, a stunning recreation of the planet SR388 and classical Metroid gameplay elements into a single powerful package.”

DualShockers got a chance to talk to Maximum Games about their upcoming game Extinction. In the interview Derek Neal, Executive Producer, had this to say on the Switch demand.
“As far as Extinction, it wasn’t part of our original plan to bring Extinction to the Switch, but actually we’ve gotten this question a lot. A lot of people seem excited about the prospect of having this title on the Switch, so we are re-evaluating those options and seeing if maybe that is something we want to do. But that decision hasn’t been made yet”
It is also noted that Neal isn’t part of the core Iron Galaxy team and that he believes that team members have been involved with some Switch development. You can check out some more tidbits from the interview below.
