you have to wonder why they even bothered with a switch port
Money
anybody who spends money on this port is a fool
I mean some people would rather play their games on the move than be sat down at a console or pc. Its just the hardware is completely outdated, hell even their flagship games struggle with it a bit like BOTW and TOTK do have some frame dropping problems.
Not even talking about the switch portability but I think there must be people out there who only have a Nintendo switch to play game and if they wanted to play mk (and not buy a PS5/Xbox) then there was only one option left... Sad thing is that they didn't even release it to the PS4/Xone gens console.
the switch has a huge library of great games, so why would someone buy this dumpster fire instead of something good?
I love my switch and most of what I got for it. But I try to get stuff I know will run well, and to this day I still can't understand people who played Bloodstained switch and consider it "fine".
Even with all patches, it's still an unstable mess with terrible input lag, second-long freezes and constant loading that sucks all the fun out of it. I don't care much about compromises in the graphics area, but that shit is practically unplayable.
When I backed that game, it was supposed to run on Wii U, what a joke. I am still convinced the reason they delayed the switch version one week at launch was just so it would not tarnish their glowing reviews.
There’s games I wouldn’t even consider getting for the Switch. Like MK and Doom. They’re such graphical powerhouses and that’s not what the Switch is for. I play those on my PS5.
To be fair, I mostly use my switch for first party Nintendo games and like another user has said the Switch sometimes struggles even with those (I’m looking at you TotK).
