I finally finished up Bowser's Fury and it was real fun, a cool way to inject some Mario Odyssey style into the 3d World engine.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

Super Switches that play like fancy AAA games exist already, they're GPD Win 3 and the Alienware mobile thing and they're all a thousand dollars and have four hour long battery lives but you can play 720p Death Stranding at 30FPS.

Granted the game is A) awful and B) an awful running piece of poo poo no matter where it is (installing it on PC with the DLC is now like 250GB or some poo poo) but it's still really funny

I'm totally baffled by this take from basically every angle. The switch has had some fancy AAA games on it and generally everyone has agreed it fucken owns to play witcher 3 or doom eternal on the toilet. Why wouldn't people want to do that. No-one is expecting it to be the best place to play those kind of games performance wise but even having the option is great. The longer the switch goes without an upgrade the more remote that possibility becomes.

I think it says something that those hybrids don't sell well at all but the Switch may end up being Nintendo's second highest selling device ever. Being able to play first party Nintendo games goes a long way.

They are a niche of a niche. They sell well but not as much as a dedicated PC or console but well enough that GPD is on their 3rd iteration and there's 2 more manufacturers trying their own versions. They are more neat than practical.

I for one think it's absolutely unreasonable to want cross-platform/indie games that run in 1080p/60fps on PS4/PS5/Xbone/PC to also be 1080p/60fps on the Switch instead of 720p/30fps and furthermore

Mario Kart is a game from the Wii U so it'd be pretty dire if it didn't run like butter, wouldn't it?

So is, essentially, Breath of the Wild which still manages to run in less than 1080p and drops to single-digit frames in big areas of the game.

i played botw on a lite in 2019 and there were maybe 2 frame drops total. cannot speak for anyone playing the wrong way however

Mario Odyssey and Astral Chain are the best looking games on they both run fine. Not sure what’s up with these indies maybe the switch is hard to develop for?

people say things like "hades runs badly" and what they mean is "if you get the very near maximum amount of particle effect-creating items and then waiting until a screen is full of enemies and then repeatedly spawning as many different effects as the game can possibly handle then the framerate drops and it completely ruins the game"
