This game is compatible with the Switch 2 and will apparently take up 1.8 GB on both Switch systems. Here’s the official description, and you can see the original announcement trailer above:

You’ll need to complete challenges, incorporate electrical elements, water, cranes, furnaces, crafting, automate through robotics, and loads more to ensure St. Ambroise returns to its former glory. Are you ready to roll up your sleeves?
“Little Rocket Lab is a classic building and resource management sim, set in a cozy village filled with NPCs who want to help… and sometimes hinder.
