Onimusha: Way of the Sword Adds Wii-Like Controls on Switch 2 Ahead of Sept. 4 Launch

Summary
Capcom’s Switch 2 version lets players swing the right Joy-Con 2 for sword attacks, adding Wii-style motion controls to a combat system built around precise parries, dodges and counters.
Two hours of hands-on play suggested the waggle setup is not harder so much as stranger: swipes replace X and Y button inputs, while gyro aiming handles the bow.
Switch 2 performance targets upscaled 900p at 30 fps in handheld mode and up to 1080p on TV via DLSS, with the port still looking surprisingly strong for a slim handheld.
The added controls fit a broader Switch 2 pattern in which major ports ship with platform-specific features, giving Nintendo’s version a distinct hook versus PC, PS5 and Xbox.
