It won't be Switch 2 exclusive, since they showed it in Switch-only Direct, but I am guessing it will also have a Switch 2 version, with "enhanced" graphics / performance, and the release date of both versions will be Switch 2 release date.
People stating it will be on Switch 2: I suspect it wont, let me explain.
They will certainly release it on Switch 1 as they promise MP4 on Switch 1, but they didn’t announce a Switch 2 version. My guesse is if they also announce a enhanced version for Switch 2 after the release, it could offends players that will have the feeling of buying it twice.
I suspect Nintendo don’t want to puts players in this situation.
So if the game is released before the Switch 2 version, I suspect it will not be released on Switch 2 or not be release as an enhanced version.
They didn't care about what people who bought the Wii U copies of games felt. Almost every major wii u title became a Switch title instead.
Needless to say, when my friends started hitting me up to play Mario kart 8, I was very pissed that i had to explain to them that they couldn't play with me because i already had it in its original format and they didn't. I had to go rebuy it for switch later down the road.

No release date...
I am guessing it's a Switch 2 launch title, and we will get date on Switch 2 Direct next week.

It fucking better not be. This game was the whole reason I bought a switch a while back.

Kinda like Breath of the Wild.

Yeah, I wasn't too impressed with the graphics. Maybe they'll show an "enhanced" version on the Switch 2 Direct.

Same… not trying to be too critical too soon, but I was kinda underwhelmed (especially given this game’s development history)

Samus gets psychic powers
I don't know... that seems kinda out of place.
You can bend your shots freely
Nevermind, I'll take two!

I was thinking the same thing at first. That bending shots mechanic is gonna be really cool for puzzle solving.
