Another question for you guys, why are the load times so horrendous for being a cartridge based console? (self.NintendoSwitch)

With advancements and technology they should be much less faster than the N64, but the loading times are just horrible, sometimes even worse than the ps5. What gives?

Edit: this is not hate per say, this is confusion and a little annoyance

To bring themselves up to an industry standard? To make the games look good on standard tvs? Lots of reasons.

That makes sense for a new console, not a refresh.

Ps4 pro would like to have a word. It's no excuse

PS4 Pro doesn’t have to worry about battery life. The Switch need to limit itself to 15 watts or less to avoid overheating and battery life would be so short that it would be useless as a handheld console.

Neither does the switch when it's docked
