It looks like a remake of Activision's Hyperblade

"DOOM was definitely made with portable mode as the primary focus. Whether docked or not, it runs at 720p, the native resolution of the Switch's display. That means it looks really great in handheld mode, but when docked things start to look a bit muddy and blurry."

You can read many articles like these when Doom was released:

It's really common sense. All these games already existed for PS4 and Xbox, you can play them on TV. If you buy the Switch version, the devs will naturally optimized for handheld mode as a priority since that's the selling point.

@electrolite77 @MrBlacky

Did you not noticed that every review of these demanding games on Switch ends with a conclusion that they look better in handheld mode than on TV? Doom runs in 720p for both handheld and TV mode. The smaller LCD screen masks a lot of defects, even though AC3 runs in 1080p on TV, there's aliasing problem that is not so obvious in handheld mode.

Similar to Doom and Saints Row 3, AC 3 is optimized for portable play.

That's how developers think, you bought a Switch to play the games in portable mode. If you want to play on TV you would've bought Xbox One or PS4. Ubisoft even bother to add touchscreen support, that says a lot: play handheld!

AC3 + Liberation are squeezed into 13 GB to fit a 16GB cartridge (PS4 version is over 60GB). Of course the sound is compressed, if it's not you will have to download an additional 10 GB+ patch, which will leads to yet another complaint of incomplete cart content.

You are Ali Baba.
Great logic game.

This is just stupid. Those Joy-cons should be stereo speakers.

40+ hours visual novel? I'd rather Senrai massage my Kagura.

Btw this is not the first, Nekopara came out last year on Switch.

I will buy this Star SDcard if it makes me invincible in Mario Kart.

For me, AC3 and Saints Row 3 are playable. They are not ARK or Xenon racer: games that look drastically different from other platforms and runs like poop.

The remaster of AC3 on PS4 and Xbox One are 30 fps too.

Even the Xbox One drops below 30 fps, this has nothing to do with Switch. Ubisoft needs to optimize the game more.

Play this game in portable mode, that's what Switch is for.

This review also failed to mention touch screen support which is really rare for AAA port. Touching that mini map to see the full map is so convenient.

The music is so cheesy.

LOL, who cares? This game is garbage. Even the mediocre Redout that came out recently is better than this.

Nintendo likes underdogs more. They always help all the underdogs with speed boost, blue shells, stars power, rocket, etc to beat the top dogs.

I'm playing Assassins Creed 3 Remastered now. It's leaked a couple days ago. It's so good, just amazing to play this on a portable device.

I'm only playing it portable, the performance is good enough, loading is snappy and everything looks sharp. This game is worth buying, it's only 13GB the whole game (there's actually 2 games) fits in a 16 GB cartridge so no downloading needed if you buy retail.

This is one of the few AAA games that made good use of HD Rumble. It even has touch screen support and motion control (unlike Saints Row 3). The only fault for this game is a brief audio stutter when changing to cut scenes, but it can easily be fixed with a patch.

The game is running at 30 fps, it's not in the same league as MK8. Funny that Redout was released in the same week, it too was 30 fps, can't matched Fast RMX's 60 fps.

Old games are better.

What Nintendo should do is: put 2 SDcard slots in the New Switch. This will save a lot of money by not wasting the old card after getting a new one.

Also, 2 x 500GB is cheaper than 1TB card.

Don't buy this game, it's not Nintendog. This game is trash, I played it a month ago. I deleted it after an hour.

People complaining about performance are playing docked. This game was optimized for portable.

@Shadowmoon522 Tyler Durden

Big deal, I watched the Exorcist when I was 5.

@IHateTombs Saints Row the Third is only 7GB, they reduced quality so it can fit in a 8GB cartridge. This is the reason why, not because Switch can't run PS3/360 games properly. In comparison, Hellblade is 18GB for a short linear game.

Why do we need to see the x-ray of bullets penetrating the body? Is this CSI Battlefield edition?

101 heroes fight to their death, with one last hero standing. Battle Royale 101. In the end it's all about the execution, many games developers have good ideas but it failed after they developed it.

I rather see Nintendo do a battle royale as a DLC for Zelda BotW. Imagine 100 people roaming the gigantic map of BotW in a battle royale game.

When you look at that purple game cover, you will think Saints Row Third is a serious gangster game. The truth is they are nuts, I mean Bugs Bunny level type of nuts. People who had never played this game will be fooled by that cover. This game is insane.

I don't think this game sold as well as their older games. They should port it to other platform sooner than later.

What in the world were they thinking? A card based RPG? There's a lack of addictiveness like Dig or Heist, the gameplay is slow and luck based unlike the older games.

Frozen Rayman? I prefer hot ramen.

Maybe Hellblade too. Overclocking is the secret ingredient of the Switchcraft.

Homebrewers had been messing around with overclocking since firmware 7.0. Nintendo added overclocking functions a long time ago and only recently with firmware 8.0 that they enabled it officially.

Digital Foundry should do a review of emulators on Switch, overclocking enabled amazing performance for emulators like PPSSPP. Playing Patapon and Locoroco on Switch is awesome, like a 2-in-1 Sony-Nintendo handheld console.

This game is a joke. Why is NL even writing an article about their patch? The game is still a joke after the patch, looks like a PS2 game but perform worse than a PS2 racer.

This game came out at the wrong time, considering the price Saints Row 3 is a much better deal and way more fun. Not to mention 10x better graphics and production value.

The irony is, it inspired pirates to actually leak it since they officially supported it.

In Japan, they think this is a horror movie. No joke.

American producers who thought this movie will at least be successful in Japan is dead wrong. The perception of Pokemon in Japan is very different from the West.

Nintendo is on the roll with this type of games.

Senran kagura reflexions, Senran kagura Peachball, Gal gun 2, Nekopara, Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3, etc.

Sony is losing so many 3rd panties.

This trailer ruined the intro of the game. Why did they have to release this and spoiled the game?

The warts and moles of the CG industry.

@Spudtendo You care enough to reply.

Good, now they can upgrade the Unreal Engine from 3 to 4.

Maybe even a Fortnite vehicle soccer.

This is the most addictive game on 3DS. A strange game blending horse racing with Solitaire, totally random yet so satisfying.

This should be a Broadway musical.

@Expa0 That's just the intro, same with GTA V.

This game was leaked a few days ago.

It's an open world game, so yes you can go around committing all kinds of shenanigans.

I never played any Saints Row game before so it was a pleasant surprise for me when I played it yesterday. This game is hilariously rude and over the top. Runs really well on Switch without any patch, looks sharp and I didn't see any popup at all. It's actually more entertaining than GTA, I'm glad they port this game to Switch. The game is surprising small at under 8GB.

The only bad thing about this game is the lack of motion controlled aiming. I hate playing shooting game on console using the right stick to aim.

Not true, with Switch you can race on the toilet. You can't experience that with other platforms.

Little Nightmares is slowest loading game on Switch, it's the first game I gave up on because of the loading. The dev needs to give it a boost patch.

Any game with DLC at launch is a scam.

DLC on day 1 is not add-on, it's not an afterthought, it's something they set aside for you to pay even after paying full price for the game.

He wants to give everyone an Easter egg but got egged by Nintendo.

Boost mode was actually added to 7.0 firmware. Home-brewers had been using the overclocking feature to increase emulator speed. PPSSPP on Switch lets you play PSP games at full speed.

He should have enough money to buy a new one.

Nintendo is slowly increasing the clockspeed of Switch over it's lifetime. This is a usual practise for Sony.

The games will get better as the console is getting faster.

Apparently, you can play Zelda VR with PSVR:
