Can you port to Nintendo Switch 2 as well?

Yes. We support porting to Nintendo Switch 2. The platform shares architecture with Switch 1 but requires updated export templates and renderer optimisation for the new hardware.

My Godot game runs poorly on PC — will it run on Switch?

Performance optimisation is a core part of our service. We profile your game thoroughly before starting, identify CPU and GPU bottlenecks, optimise shaders for Switch's ARM GPU, reduce draw calls, and manage memory within Switch's strict limits.

Why Port Your Godot Game to Nintendo Switch?

Nintendo Switch has sold over 150 million units worldwide and remains one of the most indie-friendly platforms available. Switch players actively seek out and purchase indie titles, and the platform's unique handheld/home hybrid nature means your game gets played in places consoles never reach. A Switch release also gives you a second wave of press coverage, a new revenue stream, and access to audiences who never discovered your game on PC.

What We Handle

✅

LotCheck Certification

Nintendo's LotCheck is thorough. We prepare your submission, address common failure points (language support, controller requirements, network error handling), and work with you through the submission cycle.

🕹️

Joy-Con Integration

We work with you to develop the best control scheme for Switch, with full single and dual Joy-Con support (where it makes sense for your game), HD Rumble, IR motion camera where applicable, and platform-mandated controller remapping screens. We handle every input edge case Nintendo's LotCheck tests for.

📺

Handheld & Docked Modes

Automatic resolution scaling between handheld (720p) and docked (1080p) modes, UI layout adaptation for both form factors, and correct handling of the dock connect/disconnect event.

⚡

Switch Performance Optimisation

Nintendo Switch runs on ARM/Tegra hardware with strict memory and thermal limits. We profile your Godot game, optimise shaders for the Switch GPU, batch draw calls, and manage VRAM within platform limits.

😴

Sleep & Wake Handling

Nintendo mandates correct suspend/resume behaviour. We implement sleep/wake event handling, save state flushing, and audio teardown/restore to ensure your game passes this critical certification requirement.

🏪

Nintendo eShop Submission

We prepare all required assets and metadata for eShop submission: screenshots, trailers, age ratings, language localisation flags, and content descriptor compliance across all regions you plan to sell in.

Nintendo Switch Porting — FAQ

Common questions about porting Godot games to Nintendo Switch.

Do you support Godot 3 and Godot 4 for Nintendo Switch? ▼

Yes. We support Godot 3.5.x and Godot 4.x for Nintendo Switch porting. We can also help migrate older Godot 3 projects to Godot 4 as part of the process if that's the right move for your platform targets.

How long does a Godot Nintendo Switch port take? ▼

A typical indie Godot game takes 3–5 months end-to-end: technical project HealthCheck, initial build, platform feature implementation, QA, and LotCheck certification. Games with complex shaders, large asset counts, or online features may take longer.

Do you handle Nintendo LotCheck certification? ▼

Yes. We have hands-on experience with Nintendo's LotCheck certification process, including common failure points around language support, terminology issues, and Joy-Con requirements. We manage every submission cycle until your game is approved.

My Godot game runs at 60fps on PC — will it run well on Switch? ▼

It depends. Switch hardware is significantly less powerful than a typical PC, so some games need optimisation work before they'll hit a stable framerate. We profile your game thoroughly, identify the biggest bottlenecks, and work with you to decide what optimisations or compromises make sense — whether that's simplifying shaders, reducing draw calls, or adjusting quality settings per mode.
