I've played a lot WRC / DiRT games on my Xbox platforms (XOX, XSX) including WRC generations and I've had a chance to run a few rounds on my switch port - summarizing my opinions in one word: I clearly don't want to ever play any simcade / racing sim on this handheld again. Its a total different league, 99% of the issues simply doesn't exist on rival platforms. To be honest I'm totally tired of the tech disadvantages of Nintendo hw, so I only enjoy N originated titles which are fantastic btw. I have a clue that Kylotonn doesn't really wanted to make a switch port and made it only for the publisher's pressure - due to the WRC licence end, the lack of resources, or the extra work which requires to force their own engine to downgrade the tech to this obsolete platform. Saying this because on the other hand, they were perfect for handling the series comparing the former devs - and during the last few years, pulling up this franchise to the top from garbage. Tbh I don't believe that CM is able to make miracle on switch current model for their new games - even if they did with Grid (which remember, it wasn't a current gen port, but an oldie but goldie Xbox 360 rework).
Yup - and I'm happy with it. To be honest, games like Metroid: Samus Returns are extremely good looking in 3D like nothing else... And there are a bunch of excellent games on 3DS which are giving a good reason to own one. No 3D on switch, no touch screen - different products, different audience. So I give my vote to support this great platform in the future.
