Build a rocket, boy.
The charming pixel art automation game, Little Rocket Lab, developed by Teenage Astronauts and published by No More Robots, is set to launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 with a significant performance upgrade. Following its initial release on Steam and Xbox, the anticipated Switch version is now confirmed, and it’s bringing a notable boost in visual fluidity.
Enhanced Performance for the Next Generation
Little Rocket Lab will arrive on the Nintendo eShop on December 10th, priced at £15.99 / $19.99. A special Nintendo Switch 2 Edition has been detailed, promising not only an improved resolution but also a silky-smooth 120fps framerate. This enhanced performance means that even the most complex conveyor belt systems and intricate automation processes within the game will be rendered with exceptional clarity and responsiveness on the new hardware.
A Free Upgrade Path
For players who transition from the current Nintendo Switch to the Switch 2, the enhanced edition will be available as a free upgrade. This thoughtful approach ensures that existing fans can seamlessly enjoy the improved experience without additional cost.
Our Take: A Glimpse into Switch 2 Potential
The confirmation of Little Rocket Lab hitting 120fps on the Switch 2 is an exciting early indicator of the new console’s capabilities. While many games on the current Switch struggle to maintain a consistent 60fps in demanding titles, this news suggests that Nintendo’s next-generation hardware is poised to deliver a significant leap in graphical performance, particularly for games that benefit from high refresh rates. For an indie title like Little Rocket Lab, achieving such a high framerate speaks volumes about the underlying power and optimization potential of the Switch 2.
