Nintendo is apparently being a bit more strict about what launches on Switch 2, with the company reportedly trying to avoid the influx of low-effort slop that plagued the original Switch eShop. I don't need to tell you that the original Nintendo Switch eShop is a mess. Filling its pages are countless low-effort AI slop games, weird puzzle games featuring pictures of random (often AI-generated) models of anime girls, lookalikes of popular games not on Switch, and whatever Everybody 1-2-Switch is. But so far, as far as Switch 2 games go, those issues have managed to be somewhat avoided so far, and apparently that's down to Nintendo putting the foot down. Speaking to RPG Site (spotted by Nintendo Everything) New Blood Interactive CEO Dave Oshry explains: "We've got Switch 2 dev kits now. It's not much different than the Switch 1." He says that the publisher has its breakout title Dusk "running at 120fps with mouse controls on Switch 2. It works great." And while the original Switch release of Dusk did get updated performance for Switch 2, when it comes to what is presumably a native version of the game, he notes, "We're just waiting for Nintendo to give us approval to actually launch it because they're still pretty cagey about letting games launch on Switch 2."Oshry alleges: "They don't want it to just become a giant slop fest like the Switch 1 eShop became after a few years with just tons of shovelware on there." He adds, "They're still pretty choosy about who gets to launch their games on Switch 2." However, despite initial reports that Switch 2 dev kits were hard to get hold of, Oshry says "Nintendo's been very nice to us and stuff, giving us dev kits and letting us do updates for our games."Nintendo sues US government over "illegally collected" tariffs that delayed Switch 2 pre-orders
