not in 2022, Kirby was ok, but there was also Mario Strikers, which was bad imo. Most games I still play came out right at the start, like Mario Kart / Odyssey, BoTW or Donkey Kong. Also emulated some stuff with Lakka, but since I got my Steam Deck I barely use the Switch anymore tbh.

Right now I don't even use my switch that much, mainly because there aren't many new games I'm interested in. Yeah I know splatoon 3 just came out and we got kirby, xenoblade chronicles 3 and many other great first party titles, I'm just not motivated enough to keep playing them. Usually when I play on my switch I do a couple rounds of mario kart 8 first, then I play gba/snes/nes games with emulator for the rest of the time. Tbh OLED switch makes a great gba emulation device, screen is bright and vibrant, you can downclock cpu/gpu so battery life is amazing.

Most games are garbage and graphically equivalent to 1990-2010 games. TBH there's only about 1 in every 20 games released that is any good, Still the good games are good, but with all these crappy games being released I don't even download them because they would never be played. My favourite game on Switch so far is Sniper Elite 4, there's some other good ones but I spend more time on the PS4 than the switch.

well now you are just being delusional or just forget how bad games actually looked and even performed back then which seems to be the biggest reason people underestimate the power of the switch

Realy because I've just been playing a ps2 crash bandicoot wrath of cortex which was made in 2001 and it kicks a lot of these garbage switch games asses in the graphics department.

For example, look at this garbage 2022 switch game screenshot: (it looks like something you'd see on a zx spectrum or vic20 computer)

I've always got so much backlog of Switch games I want to play that I'll never be able to get through them all. Yes the majority of games are shitty, but there's still more than enough that are great.

so let me get this straight your flawed logic is to take bad ports and shovelware games (and even retro styled games) which have existed on every console ever made and think you can actually use them as an example of what a console is capable of? meanwhile games like Alien Isolation look better than even the ps4 version

Maybe you should re-read my post. I already said there were some good games, however there is a lot of junk crappy games as well with poor graphics and gameplay. There's far more crap games released than there is good games. This is a fact and you only need to look at the last 20 games released for the switch to see this for yourself.

ur right, the games look like they're from no later than 2015 thanks to the graphical downgrades just to get the game running on the hardware, but with the framerate of 3d games from 1995

Tbh graphics on switch isn't that bad, I'd say most first party nintendo games are on par with wii u, maybe a slightly better. Quality of 3rd party ports however varies a lot. On one hand we get great ports like witcher 3, dark souls and skyrim, on the other hand we get hot garbage like ark survival evolved and wrc10. Definitely not from 1990-2010, except if the game choose to go with pixel/retro style.

Now every popular platform has a huge library of shovelware, look at wii/ps2/nintendo ds. Don't even get started with xbox 360 live indie games, if you ever downloaded them on your 360 you know what I'm talking about, pure garbage. It's just unfair to judge a system by shovelware on it.

this again is a straight up lie. its like people really forget how badly older consoles looked and performed. lets take ps3 for example which people love to falsely claim the switch is as powerful as. Crysis 3 on ps3 had far worse graphics, much more blur to hide imperfections, resolution somewhere in the 500P range (as did most ps3 games really they were just upscaled to 720P) and barely could hit 20FPS most of the time. the switch on the other hand has far better graphics, no blur to hide imperfections, true 720/1080p resolution, and runs at a constant 30FPS capable of handling 60FPS with mods.

Eh, only reason to get a switch is for those few games that are stuck there, most be the usual trite craptendo stuff with a few decent to good ones there, and those few really good exclusive that are stuck on this shitty console and are destined to remain forgotten there unless they're eventually ported on pc.
Everything else is already on pc and functioning better there, hell, even the switch emulator works better than the actual thing itself. If you don't care at all about playing online, you're better off just emulating everything.

@deathblade200 dunno 'bout your example, but one thing I can say for sure, since I actually played it: Doom Eternal on the switch looks like it's made of mud. For sure it would've looked better on a PS3 or something.

I honestly haven't played much on the Switch this year. I literally only use it for Zumba and Fitness Boxing 2. Hopefully Bayo 3 fixes that. Also anyone have those 8k upscalers, I wanna see how it looks with the Switch.

bro i have a ps3 and an xbox 360, the ps3 is a bad example because it always got inferior ports due to how much of a pain in the ass it was to develop for, which is why you only saw good graphics from first party studios
the difference is the new port of crysis 3 uses newer technology that the ps3 didn't have, that's why it only slightly looks better, but that doesn't mean the framerate is any higher than 15
in most cases, the switch runs and looks similar to the ps3, even a lot of games where you're like "oh it shouldn't run too bad" run in a completely unplayable manner, if not for the fact there's an unbearable amount of input lag on top

even at the lowest switch dynamic resolution in DOOM Eternal ps3 wouldn't be able to handle it. not to mention its a stock limitation you can greatly improve the graphics and play it at 60FPS with mods.
