It might be easier to score tickets to a Sabrina Carpenter concert than it is to obtain Switch 2 development kits. Almost 12 weeks after the console’s launch, developers–big and small–are reportedly still struggling to get them.
Digital Foundry discussed the Switch 2 dev kit situation on its weekly podcast (via Insider Gaming). “Nintendo seems to be almost discouraging Switch 2 development to some degree, where I’ve spoken with plenty of developers where they were either told that their game, they should just ship it on Switch 1 and rely on backwards compatibility,” said John Linneman, a senior staff writer for Digital Foundry. “There’s a lot of developers that are unable to get Switch 2 dev kits. We talked to a lot of devs at Gamescom this year and so many of them said the same things.” GameSpot has reached out to Nintendo for comment.
