  • The developer’s official listing says the Switch 2 Edition runs at 1080p, delivers greatly improved frame rates in handheld and docked modes, and reduces load times and hitches in previously problematic areas.
  • The eShop shows a temporary launch price of $11.99, down from the regular $29.99–$30 price, and coverage notes the discount may be a time-limited promotion.

  • By providing a free next‑gen upgrade with performance fixes, Aggro Crab follows a growing indie practice that could revive player interest, address prior Switch performance complaints, and encourage owners to try the game on Nintendo’s new hardware.
