Nintendo Switch 2
Metaphor: ReFantazio
メタファー：リファンタジオ · 暗喻幻想：ReFantazio
No emulator runs it properly yetAs of 2026-11-05
Metaphor: ReFantazio launches on Switch 2 on November 12, 2026 worldwide. As of November 3, 2026 it hasn't been released, so there are no emulator reports. On Nintendo hardware it is Switch 2 only, which release builds of Switch 1 emulators (Eden, Ryubing, Citron NEO, MeloNX and others) don't support; the unofficial Switch 2 forks of Eden (not affiliated with the Eden team) and the native port tool nxnative only run a handful of Switch 2 games so far, so whether this one runs will only be known from reports after launch. It's Atlus's 2024 RPG, already out on PS4, PS5, Xbox, and PC; the Switch 2 physical release is a game-key card only and the Hong Kong eShop lists it at 49.5GB (earlier reports said it needs 65GB or more of space). A demo went live on October 13.
