Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is making a powerful return with the announcement of its Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, set to launch on March 26, 2024, in Japan.
Developed by Dragami Games, this reimagined version of the cult-classic action title brings a suite of technical and gameplay upgrades to Nintendo’s next-generation hardware, further cementing the franchise’s status among hack-and-slash fans worldwide.
Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP originally debuted on the Nintendo Switch in 2023, revitalizing the 2012 action game with updated visuals and smoother performance.
Riding on its success, Dragami Games has now optimized the game for the Nintendo Switch 2, harnessing the console's advanced capabilities to deliver a truly next-level experience.
Existing Nintendo Switch players will also benefit from a paid upgrade path, allowing them to transition to the new version for 1,100 yen through the Nintendo eShop. The Switch 2 Edition boasts significantly improved visual fidelity and maintains a consistent 60 frames per second in both handheld and docked modes, providing fast-paced gameplay and fluid action.
These enhancements are made possible by the increased hardware power of the Nintendo Switch 2, ensuring that every chainsaw-wielding battle feels more immersive and responsive than ever. A standout addition to this release is the exclusive “Gun Shooting Mode,” a new gameplay feature designed specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2.
Once players complete either “RePOP Mode” or the original campaign, this bonus mode becomes available.
In Gun Shooting Mode, users tackle waves of attacking zombies across three escalating phases within each stage.
Armed with the iconic Chainsaw Blaster and positioned at a fixed turret, players engage in arcade-style shooting sequences.
Notably, the mode supports mouse-like aiming precision through the Joy-Con 2 controller, adding an extra layer of interactivity and challenge. Reflecting on the upgrade, a representative from Dragami Games stated that the Nintendo Switch 2 version aims to deliver the definitive Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP experience, blending nostalgia with innovation thanks to the platform’s advanced hardware and gameplay enhancements. Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP’s move to the Nintendo Switch 2 aligns with a growing trend of developers updating popular titles for Nintendo’s latest platforms, ensuring fans can enjoy their favorites with improved performance and new content.
As anticipation builds for the March 26 release, players looking to experience the latest in frantic action gameplay can secure their digital or physical copies via the Nintendo eShop or participating Japanese retailers. For both newcomers and longtime fans, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP on Nintendo Switch 2 promises a visually stunning, feature-rich update—complete with an all-new Gun Shooting Mode and seamless 60 FPS action—that highlights Dragami Games’ commitment to enhancing classic franchises for the modern gaming era.
