8 Months After Launch, Nintendo Switch 2 Devs are Still Struggling with One Issue

For months, developers have been trying to get their hands on Switch 2 development kits, even before the console officially launched on June 5, 2025. Initially, it was thought Nintendo was simply being cautious about sharing the hardware before its official announcement. While most companies provide early access to developers, Nintendo has always been more selective than competitors like Sony and Microsoft. However, after the Switch 2 launched, it became clear that the limited availability wasn’t just about preventing leaks – Nintendo simply doesn’t have many dev kits available, and still doesn’t.
