It is not HDR, its fake HDR. At a max peak brightness of 450 nits and no local dimming zones you arent getting anything near to what a proper HDR picture should be. Battery life is also really bad, but as someone who has a Steam Deck OLED and understands what modern games need in terms of power draw I get it.
With the exception of City these are terrible ports and some of the worst ways to play these games (OG ps3 also bad). You really need a stable frame rate for the combat to feel good. Arkham Knight runs amazing on the Steam Deck if anybody wants to play a handheld version of that game. The Wii U port of City was also horrendous in terms of frame rate so this might be the best City has ever run on a Nintendo console, not like that’s saying much though.
4/10..............This is a joke for its price. Wii Sports was good as a pack in, and immediately illustrated the lack of depth the Wii was as a Video Game System.
This is so absurd. People comparing it to PS plus and Game Pass are out of their minds. How many high profile multiplayer games are released for Switch each year? Sony and Microsoft give away at least three games a month. Nintendo is out of their minds charging more than double for the pleasure of playing some n64 and genesis roms
I own the Witcher 3 on PS4, Xbox, and my PC. That game was rough on the OG Xbox one and PS4. These are significant compromises and if you have any other option you really should play it literally anywhere else. However I want to get this just to actually see what it looks like because it seems crazy.
If people really want to play RE7 and Monster Hunter World, just buy a PS4 you can get a new slim for $180 or even a used one for like $120. Going through this weird roundabout process to get RE7 on the switch seems so pointless as it is basically going against the entire point of what the switch is and offering a lesser experience of RE7 than any other place to play it. The worst of both worlds.
30 fps is a deal breaker for me. DOOM needs that frame rate it was built to be lightning fast. I don't care about portability if that is what they have to sacrifice. Its still cool for people who only own a Switch because the DOOM campaign is one of the best FPS campaigns in years. (The multiplayer was kind of trash imo, so I hope thats DLC and not a forced patch).
@Koudai1979 I did not really mean offense I just find it absurd for people to only own a Nintendo console if they want to experience a fully rounded gaming experience. The same can be said for the other two consoles and PC because Nintendo are the only essential first party in this day and age. I love Uncharted....cant think of anything first party on Xbox thats fantastic, but Nintendo is the only one making VITAL first party games. Only owning a switch though seems kind of crazy I would opt for a PS4 over it anyday if you are can ONLY afford one
I own DOOM on PS4, Xbox One, and PC because I got the latter two on sale but I might pick it up on Switch just to see how a game like this compares. I have my doubts especially about Wolfenstein but this is cool for people who only own a Switch (which is absurd).

Re: Review: Hitman World Of Assassination - Signature Edition (Switch 2) - Not Yet The Showstopping Port 47 Deserves
Such an incredible game. A 30 fps cap would be fine for the switch 2.

@AnnoyingFrenzy there are like a trillion other visual novels if you want that experience though.
Re: Interview: "There Would Be No Control On Switch Without The Cloud," Says Remedy
People who say, "but the Witcher 3 can run natively on Switch so any game could" sure know absolutely nothing about gave development

I like the Black Ops reference, nicely done.

Re: Switch Versions Of Oceanhorn And forma.8 Outsell Console Rivals
Oceanhorn is a mobile port...I would never buy a mobile port on the PS4. I cant wait for Stardew Valley on the Switch but this seems like stretching
Re: Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Is Getting a Season Pass
why would this be an outcry.......unless people haven't experienced other consoles for the past 8 years
