Delivering a Seamless Adaptation on Nintendo Switch 2

Virtuos partnered with Maximum Entertainment to adapt Squirrel with a Gun from its original Steam release to Nintendo Switch 2, including the full base game and the popular Pride DLC.

Our teams focused on achieving optimal performance that balanced visual quality and fluid gameplay, successfully delivering up to 720p resolution in handheld mode and 1080p in docked mode, running smoothly between 40 and 60 FPS to provide players with a polished experience on the new hardware.

Highlights
  • Adapted the full base game and Pride DLC from Steam to Nintendo Switch 2
  • Achieved smooth gameplay at up to 720p handheld and 1080p docked with 60 FPS performance
  • Redesigned UI/UX to meet Nintendo Switch 2 platform-specific standards
  • Successfully passed Nintendo’s Lotcheck compliance for platform certification
  • Completed the entire adaptation and certification process within a tight 4-month timeline to meet release targets
Meeting Platform-Specific Needs and Compliance

Beyond performance, Virtuos tailored the UI and user experience specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2’s interface requirements, ensuring player accessibility and engagement. Passing Lotcheck certification was critical to platform approval, and Virtuos managed this process entirely to guarantee a smooth, on-time launch.

Rapid and Reliable Delivery

Despite the tight schedule, Virtuos teams in Xi’an and Chengdu delivered a high-quality adaptation on time, expanding the reach of Squirrel with a Gun and ensuring a satisfying player experience on the next-gen Switch platform.

“Virtuos went above and beyond to help Maximum Entertainment bring Squirrel with a Gun to Nintendo Switch 2.
They hit every milestone in an ambitious timeline and their quality of work is second to none.”
