On my personally opinion, I think it is because Nintendo players are used to play on systems which were outperformed by other same gen consoles since a decade ago, even though the graphics on their systems are mostly left behind by one gen, like 3DS performed like PSP, or Switch performed like PS3/360, they can still feel the upgrade on graphic side, comparing with last gen Nintendo consoles instead of other same gen consoles. just make myself an example, I played every single PM games from GameBoy to Swtich era, every time GF made upgrade on graphics for new gen console, I did feel impressed, because I compared it to the last gen graphics. I think that makes sense why people feel impressed by switch running some games no matter current gen or last gen. |
Being used to systems with less power can be a factor, but for me at least it has more to do with the fact that when I was a kid mobile graphics looked like this:
So seeing something like Doom 2016 or Hellblade running on a handheld just really impresses on me how incredibly far we've come just in my lifetime.
