Level‑5 shifts to Switch 2
Level‑5 confirmed that Decapolice has dropped older Switch and PlayStation 4 versions and been re-targeted to Nintendo Switch 2, with PS5 and PC still planned. (maxi-geek.com) The studio also announced a Snack World remake coming to Switch 2 and likewise to PS5 and Steam, saying development is going well though no release window was given. (switch-actu.fr)
Level-5 has moved *Decapolice* off the original Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4, and the game is now planned for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Steam. (maxi-geek.com) The change surfaced after Level-5’s “Level5 Vision 2026 Craftsmanship” presentation on April 10, 2026, when the company’s product listings showed *Decapolice* on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Steam, with the older Switch and PlayStation 4 removed. (level5.co.jp) Level-5’s product page now lists *Snack World RELOADED* for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Steam as well, and French outlet Switch-Actu reported the studio said development is going well but did not give a release window. (level5.co.jp) (switch-actu.fr) For *Decapolice*, this is the second major schedule reset in less than two years. Level-5 said on September 24, 2024 that the game had slipped from a planned 2024 launch to 2026 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Steam. (level5.co.jp) The platform swap puts the detective role-playing game on newer hardware at a moment when Nintendo Switch 2 is already in the market. Nintendo said the console launched on June 5, 2025 in the United States at $449.99, and its current U.S. site lists the system as “Available now.” (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) That matters for Level-5’s broader lineup, because the company is now splitting support across generations instead of treating every project the same way. Its current catalog still shows *Fantasy Life i* and *Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road* on both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, while *Decapolice* and *Snack World RELOADED* are listed only for Nintendo Switch 2 on the Nintendo side. (level5.co.jp) *Snack World* is also an older Level-5 property getting a second pass. The original *Snack World Trejarers* launched on Nintendo 3DS in Japan before an expanded *Snack World Trejarers Gold* version came to Nintendo Switch, and Level-5’s current product list now positions *RELOADED* as the new version for current platforms. (level5.co.jp) Level-5 has not attached prices or release dates to either game on its current product page. For now, the clearest signal from the April 10 update is that the studio wants these two releases aligned with Nintendo Switch 2, not the hardware they were once expected to ship on. (level5.co.jp)
