The rating doesn’t provide any information and technically doesn’t confirm a Nintendo release. However, we’d be surprised if Nintendo Switch 2 wasn’t included in the plans here. Sonic Frontiers was a little rough on the original Nintendo Switch from a technical standpoint, so a Switch 2 version could greatly improve the experience. SEGA could also choose to include new content / features.
