Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds and Onimusha: Way of the Sword show strong performance on Nintendo Switch 2
Capcom confirmed that Monster Hunter Wilds will be released on the Nintendo Switch 2. Datamined data shows the docked version is expected to run between 1080p and 1440p, while handheld mode targets 720p‑864p, with frame rates of 30‑40 fps. The performance gains are attributed to the console’s DLSS‑style upscaling and dynamic resolution handling, though a launch date has not been announced.
A preview of Onimusha: Way of the Sword on Switch 2 indicates a similar technical approach. The game targets 1080p in docked mode and roughly 900p handheld, offering a 30‑fps baseline with a variable setting that can reach up to 40 fps. Handheld play benefits from VRR technology, reducing screen tearing. Both titles run on Capcom’s RE Engine, which the company leverages to bring high‑quality visuals and smooth gameplay to the new hardware.
