Grasshopper Developing “Switch 2 Version” of New Game, Confirms Suda51

Grasshopper Manufacture, renowned for its work on the No More Heroes series, has launched its latest game, Romeo Is A Dead Man, on various platforms. Unfortunately, this release does not include Nintendo systems, prompting questions about a potential version for the upcoming Switch 2.

Switch 2 Version in Development

During a recent ‘Grasshopper Direct’ broadcast, Goichi Suda, affectionately known as Suda51, provided an update on the possibility of a Switch 2 version. He confirmed that the team is actively working to make this happen. Suda emphasized, “We’re doing what we can to make it happen, so again, please give us a little more time.”

Previous Statements on Switch Compatibility

This statement builds upon Suda51’s comments from December, where he expressed optimism about bringing Romeo Is A Dead Man to the Switch 2. However, he noted the importance of ensuring that the Unreal Engine 5 performs well on the console, necessitating thorough testing.

Future Game Announcements

In addition to the Switch 2 developments, Suda51 hinted that Grasshopper is discussing a physical version of Romeo Is A Dead Man with multiple partners. In a surprising announcement, he also mentioned the studio’s plan to release another title in 2026, although specific details about this project remain under wraps.

What’s Next for Grasshopper Manufacture?

Fans of the studio can expect further announcements soon regarding upcoming titles. As the team works on these developments, the excitement for both Romeo Is A Dead Man and the anticipated Switch 2 version continues to build.
