Metroid Ravenous eShop Listing Confirms 120Hz Output on Nintendo Switch 2
MercurySteam's upcoming Metroid Ravenous has new technical details confirmed via its Nintendo eShop listing: the game will support 120Hz output on Nintendo Switch 2 and includes amiibo compatibility, surround sound, and HDR output.
MercurySteam, the studio behind Metroid Dread (released for Nintendo Switch in October 2021) and Metroid: Samus Returns (2017, Nintendo 3DS), is credited as the developer on the listing.
What the eShop listing says
The official eShop page for Metroid Ravenous explicitly lists 120Hz output for the Nintendo Switch 2 version.
The listing also notes that the title will support amiibo functionality, surround sound, and HDR output.
Those details come directly from Nintendo's product information on the eShop and are presented as technical specifications for the Switch 2 release.
Rewriting the key statements in plain terms: the eShop listing indicates that Metroid Ravenous will run at up to 120 frames per second on compatible displays when played on Nintendo Switch 2 hardware, and that the title will include support for amiibo figures as well as enhanced audio and visual features such as surround sound and HDR.
Context and developer background
MercurySteam is known for revitalizing the 2D Metroid formula with Metroid: Samus Returns and delivering Metroid Dread for Nintendo Switch.
Metroid Dread launched in October 2021 and marked MercurySteam's most prominent work with Nintendo in recent years.
The studio's ongoing collaboration with Nintendo positions it as a key developer for the franchise's return on next-generation Switch hardware.
Community reaction and next steps
Following the eShop confirmation, some players have expressed interest in seeing similar performance-focused options added to prior entries if they are updated for Switch 2 hardware.
Nintendo has not issued further technical breakdowns or performance-mode details for Metroid Ravenous beyond the eShop listing.
When Nintendo releases additional information through official channels such as a future Nintendo Direct or product updates on the eShop, outlets will report those specifics.
For now, the eShop listing provides the verified baseline: Metroid Ravenous for Nintendo Switch 2 will support 120Hz output and include amiibo, surround sound, and HDR features, with MercurySteam listed as the developer.
