Not all PC builds translate well to a controller. Here’s the best setup for your NSP playthrough:

Torchlight II on the Nintendo Switch is widely considered one of the best ports of a classic Action RPG (ARPG) on the platform. Released in 2019 by Panic Button (renowned for ports like Doom and Wolfenstein), the game runs surprisingly well on handheld hardware. For users looking for the "best" experience, the good news is that the game is feature-complete: all previously released PC content is included in the base cartridge or digital download, and the game received essential performance patches post-launch.
This is where many guides get it wrong. Unlike the PC version (which has Torchlight II Workshop mods), the Switch version has official, but limited, DLC.
Not all NSPs are equal. A "clean" base NSP without updates is missing critical patches. The "best" NSP setup includes:
Without these, you’ll face bugs, missing content, and online connection issues.
For those looking at the Switch version, performance is key.
