The MLB The Show 22 Tech Test is heading towards its conclusion, with Sony San Diego also keeping busy promoting the baseball sim ahead of its early April release. Its Switch debut is a big deal, of course, though we were left rather disappointed in our hands on of the current test build.
To be fair to the marketing team, it's being honest in its promotion of the Switch-specific version, using genuine footage of the hybrid system's version rather than the spruced up 4K / 60fps performance seen on the more powerful PS5 / Xbox Series X|S. As you can see in the latest trailer above, it's utilising superstar two-way player Shohei Ohtani to promote it, while putting a big emphasis on portable play and having The Show on the go.
For those with plenty of disposable cash that could be a big attraction, of course, making progress in different modes on the go and perhaps saving the most important games and online matches for a home console version. Alternatively, for those that have Switch as their main or only system it's a chance to get a hold of the series for the first time.
It'll be interesting to see how MLB The Show 22 fares on Switch; the compromises as evident in the Tech Test are rather severe, but perhaps a number of players will be able to overlook those shortcomings.

The various footage of online play I've seen on YT has been rough. Although I'm not sure if those people were playing hardwired or not.
Oh hey look it’s the same guy who sounded like he was bored half to death!!!
Why are there puppets. WHY ON EARTH ARE THERE PUPPETS.
Oh its that port that looked like a ps3 game.
Yeah I'll pass.
I don't give a bleep about the game, but I love the puppets.
I didn't love the tech test, but I loved that video.
That's the most promotion for a Switch third party game I've actually seen. Already pre ordered from Gamestop!
Already pre-ordered, the tech test videos haven't turned me off. Sony will improve things, they will not want this to be a lemon. I won't be playing it online which is where I think most of the issues come from, I will be offline playing RTTS and grinding the rewards
@antisumo That's the exact same thing I'm going to do. I do the same thing with NBA 2k.
Idk why everyone is so negative about it, the puppet is pretty fun and the gameplay I saw wasn't that bad either?
I have no idea who this puppet dude is or why he's here but I love that bit where he's on about how you can play with one joycon but uses them both instead of letting the girl play
I’m actually really excited to get this game. I typically have gotten it every year, and the newest version actually being ported to Switch makes me very interested in it.
Im actually surprised they are still doing this considering there is a mlb lockout for 2022 in the real baseball season currently.
