The beloved arena shooter roguelite Brotato has officially launched its Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, offering a suite of enhancements tailored for the new hardware.
Already a popular title on the Nintendo Switch eShop, this latest iteration brings increased performance and fresh multiplayer features, reaffirming the game's commitment to an engaging, action-packed experience for fans new and old alike. Developed by Blobfish and initially released on the original Nintendo Switch, Brotato challenges players to survive wave after wave of alien enemies in fast-paced, top-down skirmishes.
The game’s quirky premise—a gun-wielding potato fighting for survival—has resonated with roguelite enthusiasts since its debut.
The new Nintendo Switch 2 Edition introduces upgraded visuals and smoother gameplay, thanks to a higher frame rate and enhanced resolution that take advantage of the Switch 2’s improved hardware capabilities. A significant highlight of the update is the introduction of four-player local co-op, allowing friends and families to join forces on a single console for frenetic, wave-based action.
The newly-added GameShare feature further expands local multiplayer options by enabling players to share the game experience with other users on the same device, making Brotato a standout option for couch co-op sessions. Owners of Brotato on the original Nintendo Switch aren’t left behind; as confirmed by the developers, existing players can upgrade to the Switch 2 Edition at no additional cost.
The rollout has already begun across various regions and is set to become available in North America later today via the Nintendo eShop. For newcomers, Brotato offers a unique blend of accessible mechanics and deep customization.
Players control Brotato, the sole survivor of a spacecraft crash from Potato World, tasked with surviving until rescue arrives.
The gameplay is centered around wielding up to six weapons simultaneously, each firing automatically by default, with the option for manual aiming to accommodate different playstyles.
With dozens of character classes and hundreds of weapon and item combinations—ranging from flamethrowers to rocket launchers and traditional sticks and stones—strategy and experimentation are rewarded. Other notable features include: - Fast-paced runs, each lasting under 30 minutes - Wave-based survival with rounds lasting between 20 and 90 seconds - Deep customization through collectible materials, character traits, and shop items - Comprehensive accessibility options allowing players to fine-tune difficulty by adjusting enemy health, speed, and damage Earlier this year, Brotato also received the notable “New Dawn” update, further refining gameplay and adding new content for dedicated fans. With the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, Brotato continues to grow its audience, leveraging the next-gen platform’s capabilities to deliver smoother, more immersive local multiplayer experiences.
Whether you’re a veteran player or jumping in for the first time, this roguelite shooter is primed for even more exhilarating action on Nintendo’s latest console.
