Latest fact check: 27 October 2026 · full-page source review September 14, 2026
This 27 October 2026 check covered Tiny Roar's 8 October 2026 announcement that patch 1.1.0 reached Switch 1 and Switch 2. It did not recheck eShop prices, file sizes, or hardware benchmarks. Facts tagged demo still come from the free demo.

Switch 2 Compatibility
Nintendo's US eShop lists an official Lou's Lagoon – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. The standalone pages are live: Switch 2 Edition and the Upgrade Pack (checked 12 September 2026). The US Nintendo Switch 2 Edition product page lists these file sizes (checked 13 September 2026): Nintendo Switch about 5.2 GB, Nintendo Switch 2 about 19.5 GB. Use the matching product page and the console download prompt. These are listed sizes, not measurements we made.
Performance
Nintendo's Switch 2 Edition product page says the edition offers improved performance with a higher frame rate and resolution. This site has not verified a numeric frame rate or resolution for Switch, and it has not benchmarked Switch hardware.
PS5, Nintendo Switch Store and Switch 2
The PS5 version has an official PlayStation Store listing. The Nintendo Switch store is the US eShop listing linked above; it is the place to check the current price and download button. Nintendo also publishes the separate Switch 2 Edition and Upgrade Pack links in the compatibility section.
Those store pages confirm availability and product variants, not a performance target. No verified PS5/Switch frame-rate number is published here. Tiny Roar said on 8 October 2026 that patch 1.1.0 reached Switch 1 and Switch 2. The Steam posts we read for 1.1.1, 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 do not name Switch.
