In the game&#8217;s current state on Switch, it already runs at a &#8220;smooth 60fps&#8221;, but this could be doubled!<\/p>\n<p><figure data-videoid=\"C1rrCdi_XjA\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C1rrCdi_XjA?rel=0&#038;hd=1&#038;showinfo=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;autohide=1\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube Video\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/javascript:\"'\" data-src-fallback=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/C1rrCdi_XjA?rel=0&#038;hd=1&#038;showinfo=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;autohide=1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C1rrCdi_XjA?rel=0&#038;hd=1&#038;showinfo=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;autohide=1\" data-consent=\"targeting\" type=\"text\/html\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"890\" height=\"501\" data-src-primis=\"https:\/\/live.primis.tech\/live\/liveView.php?s=117114&#038;vp_content=embed3be067vyrpli&#038;schain=1.0,1!ziffdavis.com,22392450815,1\"><\/iframe><figcaption>Subscribe to <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/nintendolife?sub_confirmation=1\">Nintendo Life<\/a> on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/nintendolife?sub_confirmation=1\"><span>YouTube<\/span><span>812k<\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><figcaption><a title=\"Watch This Video on YouTube\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=C1rrCdi_XjA\">Watch on <strong><span><\/span> YouTube<\/strong> <span><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>FDG Entertainment:<\/strong> &#8220;Wondering if there&#8217;ll be enough #NintendoSwitch2 players who&#8217;d want a #MonsterBoyGame Update with 120fps. It does already run at smooth 60fps though. Send us your input via like\/comments please&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As mentioned, it&#8217;s taking comments and input on board and encourages fans to pass on their thoughts. It&#8217;s also worth noting how the Xbox Series X and PS5 versions of the game have <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FDG_Games\/status\/1919472363013275999\">already received a free 120fps update<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom originally made its debut on the Switch, we gave it an &#8220;excellent&#8221; nine out of ten stars at the time &#8211; calling it a &#8220;tremendous accomplishment&#8221; for not only being a gorgeous game with a fantastic soundtrack but also making its spiritual predecessors proud.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;As long as you can appreciate that it\u2019s still very much an old-school game at heart and you\u2019re going to get some 8-bit era platforming trickiness as a result, you\u2019re going to thoroughly enjoy playing through this adventure for the 12-15 hours it\u2019ll take you to beat it. It may not be Wonder Boy by name, but it\u2019s definitely wonderful by nature.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This game is also currently on sale in select regions, with up to 75% off its regular price. Additionally, Nintendo&#8217;s store listing has the current file size for the game listed as 5.7GB for both the Switch and Switch 2.<\/p>\n<p>Another developer contemplating a 120fps bump is Shin&#8217;en Multimedia &#8211; the team behind <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/fast-fusion\">Fast Fusion<\/a>. When we spoke to it recently, it mentioned how 120fps wouldn&#8217;t be supported in the futuristic racer at launch, but could potentially be added as a patch &#8220;later&#8221; down the line.<\/p>\n<p>So, would you be interested in a Switch 2 update for Monster Boy? <em>Let us know in the comments.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/users\/79507\/photo\/0\/avatar.jpg?v=1709296749\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Entertainment Liam Doolan\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Liam is a news writer and reviewer for Nintendo Life and Pure Xbox.
