If you passed on Lethal League Blaze when it arrived on the Switch eShop last month, it might be worth taking another look at in the near future.
One of the game's team members at Team Reptile recently responded to a complaint over on Reddit about the Switch version's performance and reassured the community the game would soon be optimised:
We are working on more optimization. As we are still new to this certification process I cannot currently tell you when that will reach you.
And this was the team member's response to the part about the Switch being able to run 3D games perfectly fine:
"Can run fine" is a bit of an overstatement. Many games, even first party titles, seem to release with some performance issues that get patched later. It takes a lot more work optimizing for the switch and release deadlines are relentless.
If you are experiencing any problems, it's recommended you play the game in docked mode and turn off flashes and screen shake.
In our review, we gave Lethal League Blaze eight out of ten stars. Overlooking the above-mentioned performance concerns, the game has fantastic cel-shaded visuals, a funky soundtrack featuring Hideki Naganuma - famous for his work on Jet Set Radio and incredibly fun gameplay that's accessible to everyone.
You can even download a demo from the Switch eShop and see what it's like for yourself.
Would you be willing to give Lethal League a shot in the future? Do you already own the game on the Switch? Tell us down below.

So, basically, they are new to making games for the Switch and are still figuring out optimization?
@Kalmaro Seems to be an ongoing issue with some of these developers. I mean look at Bloodstained
We knew this patch was coming, but it is great to hear it's nearing release. I really like the demo as long as I'm playing in docked mode. I've said it before, but want to mention it again: I hope Wand Wars comes to Switch. It has similar gameplay, but with sprites, so it should be easier to get running at 60fps on Switch. It runs perfectly at 60fps on PS4 and I couldn't believe how much I had playing it with a friend one night.
@Riderkicker Bloodstained completely flustered me. I want to play it on Switch badly, but hate side scrolling games running at 60fps, so I've been unable to decide what to do (I could buy it on PC, but don't want to). I know it's very unlikely they'll patch it to run at 60fps on Switch, but that's what I want the most of all. So, I love Castlevania, and still haven't played Ritual of the Night at all... Oh well
Guess this game will be on my "maybe" list. also, Candyman somewhat reminds me of Korosensei. lol
@Riderkicker Don't get me started on bloodstained
Brilliant game - this is great news.
The devs who made this do good work.
The demo really is so much fun but the performance issues are pretty dramatic. As soon as that patch releases, I will release my dollars!
