Ok fine i'm "sorry" but you still didn't answer me...
Don't worry about it!
I presume you try to say that Crysis is a hard-to-run game even when it came out in 2007 and even today,
and Switch being able to run it at all at 30fps (
aprox.) is an amazing feet!
I mean yeah, sure, it really is amazing they run so stable on a mini tablet-like console such as Switch. But this is a remaster of a game.
General idea of remastering (afaik) anything is to improve it basically, but devs these days DO improve it, but they just improve
eye-candy not performance.
That's not to say that these machines (such as PS3,4,5 or any console, any generation) are not capable of 60FPS or even
much more, it's just
decisions at developers side are to
not go that way, but to keep the game graphics visually the same
(though even though Crysis is not same graphically, its worst it just looks better because of graphical trickery) just to make it stand out more to re-sell it (imo), thus sacrificing the performance
(still playable but sacrificed non the less, because as you know, DooM for example run way beyond 60FPS depending on a hardware, but also there is a patch for switch and even VITA games that prove that games can run 60fps no problem..i mean why wouldn't they, even if they cant you just tone some settings down while developing it or remastering. So again, the developers), because they keep all the elements that make the game hard to run even on hi-end PC hardware, which is (potentially) far superior in terms of raw power than any console.
But as i said, the game
can be optimized, i mean they have the source code, they can do whatever they wish to run at higher frame-rate, but they choose not to for various reasons and IMO those reasons usually are that they want all the eye candy kept, thus, switch cant handle more than 30fps without being overheating or battery drain faster!
Some things must be sacrificed if you want performance, it doesn't matter what console it is. Devs just choose not to sacrifice visuals or to optimize it well so everything is tere at some percent, they just give big priority on how it looks rather than how it runs.

When did Nintendo advertise the Switch as "all powerful" ?
They didn't.

Thats what I was wondering. Plus it's doing a better job than vita, the thing ran most ps3 ports at 360p at 20fps except for maybe Need for speed most wanted
With "VitaGrafix" app and "VSH menu" plugin you can increase CPU or GPU
(90% cases it's just GPU) clock speeds at maximum, which sometimes, developers intentionally decrease by default for increased battery or some unknown reason
(cause i never say any special battery drainage GPU speed maxed out all the time), and change games settings to output full VITA screen resolution or to go 60FPS or stable, solid 30fps, to capp them.
For example i just finished playing "Killzone: mercenaries" with native resolution (variable) and in VitaGrafix i set it to 30fps, and it never moved below 30 EVER! But still the game looks amazing. For me, it doesnt need to look THAT good, they could tone it down a bit till it runs stable 60fps to match the hardware.
I dont mind playing even PSX graphics games if they run at high frame rate! I actually enjoy they greatly! There are many psx games i never played, and PS2 ones.
As for "all powerfull switch" ai said that because thats impression that i have about people who like switch so much and are constantly amazed at it and say how solid 30fps and DooM on it aamazing...its not actually, its just that devs have source code and they can port it on a calculator if they wish with same visual trickery, but its gonna cost...and it shows, it costs 30fps less... Again, you can hack the switch and perhaps get it to run at 60fps, nut the whole deal that devs did not bothered to do it, shows that its not easy to have both good graphics and high fps and good battery life.
All powerfull device would be imo the one that can run DooM effortlessly at 60fps and have good battery life by default.
