The 'Nintendo Tax' Rumor
Many online discussions suggested a special levy for big games on Nintendo. Square Enix representatives did not confirm any such charge exists. The rumor appears to be baseless speculation spread on social media. Yoshi-P made the presentation to clear up these false claims.
He showcased the game running smoothly on the new console. The visual quality is high despite the hardware limitations. This demonstration removed doubt about the port's viability. It also ended the talk of hidden platform costs.
The developer has not confirmed a specific release date for the Switch 2 port. Players must now wait for official pricing details to see if any platform-specific costs actually exist. All eyes remain on the next Nintendo hardware keynote for further technical details.
Yoshida will hold the next event to share more information. The team plans to discuss performance metrics in detail soon. Fans can expect an official announcement within the next few weeks.
