A five year old console that was born "behind the curve in tech" is kind of a stretch to be call "current gen" without a qualification. "Nintendo's 5 year old current gen" being emulated is a Software trump rather than a Hardware trump.The reality is that a portable system shouldn't be able to emulate a "current gen" console at all, let alone to the point of so many games being fully playable. I would've already sold off my Switch if I weren't a collector of Nintendo and Sony systems, though this will probably be the last round where I keep up with the cutting edge stuff. Everything is available on PC now, and games that won't emulate well on Steam Deck I have my desktop for.
Slow and reliable is what Nintendo is about. Cutting edge they have not done for a long time. Maybe NES was cutting edge.
The Switch was just a continuation of Wii U.
Don't get me wrong, I love my Switch, but it was never cutting edge. Perhaps they push the joycon team and the result wasn't pretty.
