Nintendo Switch 2 players have nothing to fear when it comes to the upcoming Onimusha: Way of the Sword, as Capcom has indicated that it will be very similar to the PS5 version. Based on some of the publisher’s other recent games like Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata, this isn’t too surprising. The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Onimusha: Way of the Sword will have some lower specs, but producer Akihito Kadowaki says “you might not even be able to feel the difference.” Famitsu was able to speak with Kadowaki and director Satoru Nihei. During the discussion, the Japanese magazine mentioned that the Nintendo Switch 2 version felt just as good as the PS5 version. Kadowaki and director Satoru Nihei said the following (translated by Nintendo Everything) in response: Kadowaki: I think we did it very well, so you might not even be able to feel the difference. Honestly, we only started working on a Switch 2 version halfway through development, but based on how playtesting felt, we thought, “This could really compete with the other platforms.” If we really talk about the details, there is a difference in image quality and frame rate. While other systems can output 60 FPS or more, the Nintendo Switch 2 version is 30 FPS, but we think either is enough to really enjoy and savor the action. Nihei: The ease of playing in handheld mode became a topic of conversation among the development staff. Being able to play completely while lying in bed is just amazing, right? Onimusha: Way of the Sword is scheduled for release on September 4, 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2, up from its initial release date of September 25. Gameplay for this version can be found here.
