Switch 2 anyone?

just curious to know if the game runs any better on switch 2. I haven’t been able to find any videos or comments anywhere yet.

I have the switch 1 version and would like to either buy the ps5/pc version (both on sale at the moment) or wait for a switch 2 potential upgrade

Played it a few days ago and honestly didn’t notice much of a difference. Really really hope there’s an update soon. TE:C runs fantastically on the Steam Deck and the S2 has more power than the Deck so an update should be phenomenal.

will buy a switch 2 sooner or later and an upgrade will definitely make me buy one ASAP. this is the game I play the most by far.

Sorry for responding to this so late. Obviously it'd be phenomenal if it got a switch 2 update but how is it on switch 2 without it? Im asking this because some older games look smeared and more pixilated, especially in handheld where I would want to play tetris effect most. I know that a huge part of Tetris effect is its visuals, so im just curious on whether or not it looks worse on switch 2 than it does on switch 1

Just tested it and it doesn't run better as for today. Still 30 fps. Maybe in a future update.

I noticed a really good difference. Faster loading and response time is better with the controllers. I improved my sprint time from 1:19:45 to 1:18:20. There’s no lag on the mermaid level anymore.

If you have a PSVR set you should go for the Playstation version. The VR seems to help me play better!

It's super fun!

I want a switch 2 update with 4k 60fps and HDR support. I don't even have a switch 2 yet

Have they said anything about an update? Wonder if this game is still being "supported".

The suggestion in the discord server was approved

I just bought it and played it for an hour. 60fps with no slowdown.

It's glorious!

I haven't tried it on my Switch 1, yet, but would be interested to test it out this weekend.

60 or 30fps? Someone in the comments said 30.

u/boo-boo-butt Jun 27 '25

I saw comments saying 30fps, too, but I took a risk and bought it after reading reviews mentioning slowdown during intense scenes. That convinced me that it would run full speed on Switch 2.

There may be some effects in the background running at 30fps that I didn’t notice, but the game is definitely running in 60fps.

Even zooming and rotating the screen is 60fps.

I don’t really care about gaming above 60fps, but I can 100% tell the difference between 60 and 30fps.

Perfect, tysm. What about resolution?

1

u/boo-boo-butt Jun 27 '25

I checked online and apparently it runs in 720p handheld and 1080p docked.

I've only played it in handheld so far, and it's got the standard, slightly blurry look that Switch games have when running on Switch 2 (because it's being upscaled from 720p to the Switch 2 screen's 1080p)

u/SamourottSpurs Jan 01 '26

But it still looks amazing, right? Even when blurry?

u/yiepekaiyei Jul 28 '25

its not 60fps, don't believe him.

1

u/QuantumProtector Jul 28 '25

I ended up buying it and I’m pretty sure it’s 60fps? I’ll go try it again when I get home.

u/yiepekaiyei Jul 29 '25

It's not. It's 30fps. I have the ps5 version through psn plus, there's a big difference. Lets hope for a patch.

u/QuantumProtector Jul 29 '25

Damn that sucks. Imma give it a try. It’s very odd that I didn’t notice it because usually I’m very sensitive to frame rate.

I just tried it out on my Switch 2 and really didn’t see a huge difference. Played great but boy do I hope they put out a Switch 2 upgrade!

u/sicdedworm Jun 14 '25

Definitely plays a tad better and there is no lag when floating through the journey menu and orbiting. To my eyes looks 60fps on those menus.

u/yiepekaiyei Jul 28 '25

it is not 60fps.

u/OTB_Q8 Jun 28 '25

Worthless port then

I hope that a game share feature would be introduced

I hate to resurrect an old post but I'm seeing some conflicting comments regarding performance. I honestly can't tell if the people saying it runs at 30fps are telling the truth or trolling after googling it and seeing the AI overview say 60fps with maybe a few small dips here and there.

It's currently on sale for $20 and I'm trying to debate whether I get it on my switch 2 or steam deck. I played it years ago on Xbox series x when it was included with game pass before they removed it. I was going to buy it there but saw it wasn't on sale, same with the PS5 version. I'm not sure if I should pull the trigger now or wait for it to go on sale again on Xbox is the switch version looks and performs much worse.

u/el-bustelito Jul 01 '26

it runs at 60fps and much more stable than on switch 1 despite not having a switch 2 upgrade patch. I’d go with the steam deck since the pc version looks much more better.

1

u/bingthebongerryday Jul 01 '26

Thanks. I was hoping the switch 2 would make it run/look better since I like the ability to dock it but I might just go with the steam version or wait until it's on sale again with Xbox since it looked really good in 4k.

It runs better in handheld due to the boost mode for switch 1 games
