Your claim that TW3 and Doom experience were butchered is also pure nonsense.

Have you played Doom on the Switch? I actually own the game, and from the first second, I can tell you that its without a doubt worse than the PS4 version that I actually finished. I wanted to like it, but after you play one of the proper versions it becomes a cool tech demo, but not a game you would play... it's butchered. It was never intended for the Switch and its obvious from the port. 

I admittedly haven't tried TW3, but honestly, it looks even worse than what Doom was. I am not paying a penny for it. If that is the only way one can experience it ever, sure, go for it, but otherwise pass.

Yes I own the game on both PC and Switch so I can personally confirm that that part of your post was pure nonsense and can say the same for TW3 as well.

Watching the Digital Foundry video right now just to make sure I remember correctly. Even the original XBO is running RE2 at 1080p. Throughout the generation, the base XBO has been having a tough time running lots of games without downgrading to 900p and 30fps.

If the base Xbox One can run the experience at 1080p and up to 60fps (though it frequently misses that mark), it can't be pushing the console as hard as you say. 

Capcom has been pushing beautiful looking but surprisingly not complex graphics since Mercenaries 3D on the 3DS. I'm no expert but I think the Switch can handle it with only FPS and Resolution cuts. 30fps at 720p-900p sounds about right.

*Edit* while I was posting, the PC version analysis started playing and they said pretty much any PC can run it without problems.

That's because the game is a) well optimized and B) the base Xbox is several times more powerful than a Switch. Look, if you want a gimped version of these masterpieces, it's fine by me, I couldn't care less, but let's not beat around the bushes, the experience will be severely limited and objectively inferior even at a glance. 

As somebody who owns a gaming PC, PS4 and Switch I feel I get the best from all worlds. I know that financial reasons might play a part, they did so for me as well, 6-7 years ago when I was just gearing up with my job, but man I feel that people are missing out by sticking to one platform. I would recomend as I mentioned before, just wait out the eventual stronger PC that everyone gets at one point and the game for <5$ on steam/gog. Its not like there are not plenty of games on the Switch to play that are natively made for it.

Man. I wish I could afford something besides just a Switch. But you're right. Would be nice to play on the go, though. 😢

What obligation does Capcom have to support Switch? And why that should excuse Nintendo doing practices condemned when others do?

Oh there's no obligation whatsoever. Just money (lots of it) being left on the table.

Companies aren't dumb and they want to maximize profits. So they release what they do and where they do because that is how they think they will profit more.

I'm active on this site for 13 years now, I knew you can afford it and that you spend an obscene amount of money on games. That's my point. Why would you play those games in portable mode, when games like Super Mario Odyssey, Luigi's Mansion 3 or BotW exist? Why not just play the clearly superior version at home?

Or you know, spend a little extra for a gaming ultrabook, as that is also a thing now, and actually play them as they are intended?

No, it's not nonsense, It simply seems that we have a completely different approach to select our games and what we consider a quality port, or in this case even an enjoyable one.

In a way, I can understand it, as I used to buy sub-par ports for the PSP back in the days, but those days are gone, and there are so many better options, especially on the Switch, games that were built with that hardware in the mind.

I own and have played through both Doom and Witcher 3 on Switch and I found both to be immensely enjoyable.
