Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night's Switch PAX East demo left fans worried, but 505 Games promises kinks will be ironed out by launch

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was on display at PAX East, and people had their first chance to go hands-on with the Switch version. Unfortunately, first impressions were not very good. Multiple reports of an unwieldy framerate came in, as well as some major controller input lag when playing docked. Not exactly the best first impression for the Switch version, but 505 Games wants fans to know they shouldn't worry.

People who have checked out the Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night demo previously were doing so on the PC version, which has been heavily optimized. The Switch version, according to 505, hasn't received that optimization yet. Apparently there's a lot of work to be done, but 505 says the final game should run much closer to what you see on PC.

We'll have to take 505 at their word on this one. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but I do have to wonder why 505 decided to show off the Switch version in such a wonky state at PAX East.
