Nintendo Switch Pro Gets MCU Lineup?

The arrival of Marvel Rivals on the Nintendo Switch 2, once considered improbable, now seems increasingly likely. While NetEase previously dismissed a release on the original Switch due to technical limitations, the upcoming console could alter that.

At the DICE Summit, producer Weikang Wu confirmed ongoing discussions with Nintendo. The primary hurdle remains ensuring consistent, high-quality performance on the new hardware:

“The original Switch lacked the processing power for our envisioned gameplay. However, if the Switch 2 proves capable, we're prepared to bring the game to the platform.”

Following the official Nintendo Switch 2 announcement, major game publishers are expressing strong interest. Phil Spencer indicated Xbox's intention to bring its games to the platform, and Electronic Arts (EA) has also shown support.

Marvel Rivals itself is set for further expansion, with the anticipated addition of two Fantastic Four members in future updates.
