==Development==
The Nintendo Switch's sales were starting to fail due to Metroid Prime 4 being a commercial failure and due to a lack of hardware upgrades 3rd party support was quickly getting lackluster. Nintendo needed a killer app fast so they got Next Level Games to develop a third person shooter for the Switch. Accouding to next level games the main challenge of development was getting memory usage down to fit into the switch's 4gb ram which reportedly caused a lot of headaches and is the reason the high graphical mode uses a 664p frame buffer instead of a 720p one. Nintendo was reportedly impressed with Next Level Games optimization of the game with dug bowser claiming "the switch is more than capable of running next gen games we have no plans for a upgrade". 
==grapics modes==
unusual for a switch game the game has 4 rendering modes 
high graphical mode runs the game at 1176x664p 30fps with high graphical quality
high frame rate mode runs the game at 960x540p 60fps with reduced graphical quality
high resolution mode runs the game at 1280x720p 30fps with reduced graphical quality 
power saving mode disables overclocking and runs the game at 1176x664p 30fps with reduced graphical quality Nintendo strongly recommends this setting if running on a older switch 
==anti piracy==
a strange anti piracy measure the game has is whats known as a average fps check
basically the game checks the current the frame rate to see if its running faster than usual (eg 60fps on high graphical mode) if it is detected then the game will crash it was designed so that switch emulators such as yuzu would not be able to run the game probably lucky this was quickly patched out by hackers after data miners found that the source code was accidently included in the initial release which featured the accidental E for everyone age rating. 
==glitches==
Forcing the game to run at 720p while in high graphical mode will cause a memory overflow hard locking the switch in the process.
At the start of the campaign there is a massive sequence break that will put you in the final room right before the ending. 
==Trivia==
*This was the 1st game on the Switch to use the 64GB cartridge. As a result, you needed to update your Switch to play.
*According to digital foundry the game has graphics that rival early Ps4 and Xbox one games.
*The reason the game came on a 64gb cartridge was due to lowering costs of flash memory and so it could fit all the prerendered cutscenes uncompressed textures audio and more but the side effect was increased loading times and ram usage. 
*due to the switch's 4gb ram struggling with the amount of stuff it could hold at a time this is one of the only switch games where you cant access the home menu while in game instead you will be asked if you want to quit the game. 
*There was an error with the age rating being E. As a result the game was pulled from shelves and was delayed for a week.
*The game was the first switch game to cost more than $60 due to using the 64gb cartridge and having 6 hidden games
* in order to maintain a stable 664p 30fps the switch runs in a special overclocked mode.
*accounting to next level games they had completely maxed out the tegra x1 and warned that v1 switches may struggle to run this game.
*A patch was released that gave users the option to run the game at either high frame rate mode (540p 60fps) or high resolution mode (720p 30fps) both at the cost of reduced graphical quality which according to digital foundry makes some noticeable difference but is recommended for a much more stable framerate or cleaner resolution 
*In later versions of the game the default setting was changed from high graphical mode (664p 30fps) to power saving mode (664p 30 fps) in order to be better compatible with older switches.
==reception==
The game at a bad launch due to reports of switch's getting as loud as a jet engine and overheating several youtubers even reported their switches exploded while playing the game in response Nintendo said that players should avoid playing this game on switches made before 2018 which only made even more bad publicity. The next year Nintendo filed for bankruptcy due to a massive Anti-consumerism lawsuit which started on the Joycon drift and pushed to breaking point by releasing a game known to break older switches. Luckily Microsoft came to the rescue and brought the whole company and then announced the following day that game would be coming to game pass for pc Xbox systems unfortunately Sony then filed a anti monopoly lawsuit on Microsoft and the rest is history.
