Hi-Fi Rush for the Nintendo Switch has received a PEGI 12 rating in anticipation of its release. This is even though the game hasn't been officially announced.
I wouldn't play this on Switch, unless it can run at 60fps on it. I don't see that happening. Hope I'm wrong.
If players are willing to play Doom at 30fps on the Switch, I suppose it wouldn't be a problem for them to play Hi-Fi Rush at 30fps.
I suspect it will also get a Switch 2 version/patch.
Fantastic game though. Stands up there with Returnal as being one of the more unique, high quality games this gen with a still somewhat sizable budget.

NPD analyst Matt Piscatella has hinted at sales of Square Enix's Final Fantasy VII Rebirth having underperformed in the US.
Its a great game but the texture resolution on props/environmental assets is unacceptable I dont think its right for a AAA videogame company to put out a game for $69.99 with such low quality assets. The character models and Character textures look great but again the blurry textures on environmental assets is shocking for a game on PS5. I see hardcore FF7 fans on reddit defending the asset quality however nobody defended the apartment door textures on FF7 Remake but for some reason nobody cares about FF7 Rebirth's abundance of low quality assets.
the textures are barely that bad at all. sounds like you never played it and are just going by some random screenshots you see online.
unlike the first game where the texture issue was more glaring, i've not run into this at all in rebirth
I really like the game but my heart dies a little when the map opens up and a laundry list of open world padding appears with those damn towers. I know they're optional but my OCD doesn't care! It's the reason I stopped playing Assassins Creed games, it just doesn't feel fun in the slightest. When Rebirth is laser focused on its actual story the game is top class.
It's funny how often the term "analyst" gets tossed around nowadays. But again, that's the only way they can remain relevant.
They should of released it on Xbox and PC as PS5 owners don't seem to buy JRPG'S. Also they could of made a deal with MS to have it on gamepass Day 1 with MS giving them a few billion to make up for sales.
Hopefully the new CEO of SE will cancel all exclusive agreements with Sony and make Part 3 and all future SE games multi-platform.
Not wishful thinking at all as both FF 16 and Rebirth are both not selling well on PS5 and shows that PS owners are not that interested in JRPG'S. SE will have to recoup the cost of the games by releasing both game and all future games on as many platforms as possible.
Exclusives are a cancer in gaming so i don't understand why gamer would want a franchise like the FF franchise to die off because of PS fans not buying them.
people grew tired of this episodic greedy releases
better wait for the complete edition, no need to wait years between episodes
by the time they release another part, you already forgot where the story left
people want complete games not crumbs, glad it under-performs
that's a lesson
They all need a price drop
So the Series consoles COMBINED sold that amount. PS5 outselling two different MS consoles 4 to 1. I wonder what is the exact number of Series X sold
