Is Switch's processing power important to you?

I'm not sure I really buy the excuses any more, it seems like this happens every time Ninendo unveils hardware (don't worry the graphics will get way better later on ... and they don't really). 

Why would you purposely show off game demos that have graphics performance far below what your actual hardware can do? 

Also we know (or at least it's pretty heavily hinted at by reliable sources) that those Mario Kart/Splatoon snippets weren't just thrown together for a teaser, those games are in development, apparently Splatoon is even going to be the pack-in game. 

Again I just don't see the logic here in either showing severely gimped versions of those games ... for what reason? We've all seen PS4-caliber graphics so it's not like that would be some huge surprise that Nintendo needed to hide. 

They showed like 7 different games during that teaser too and not one of them was PS4-caliber type of a title. Skyrim is a 5-year-old PS3/360 game, NBA 2K is still being made for PS3/360, so it's hard to say anything definitive off that. 

I don't really see why they would create a "fake" or purposely gimped Mario 3D demo to look worse than it actually would. Maybe getting even if Wii U-level graphics running on a portable without the portable throttling from overheating for 3 straight hours of play is more challenging than we think it is. 

That's not excuses at all, thats a fact, point of Switch trailer were not games at all, point was concept, if they wanted focus on games they would show new games not ports, and we know they will show games in January. Again, point was not at all to show graphic performance of Switch in 1st trailer, point was concept.

You missing point, of course that all games that are shown will be on Switch, just that people dont need to assume they will look or run exactly like they were in trailer.

Again, focus of 1st Switch trailer wasnt graphic or new games, focus was concept of Switch, games were just to show to show wariaty of some games, Skyrim strong and familiar hardcore 3rd party game, NBA 2K 3rd party sport game, Splatoon best and most popular new Nintendo IP that can be played on tournaments, Zelda BotW most hyped and Nintendo game people dying to play, MK8 most popular Wii U game that has attach rate of 60%, and off course 3D Mario proves Swith will have brand new games also.

Point is those games are not fakes, just don't assume they will run or look exactly like they were shown in trailer, because probably they didn't run on final Switch hardware at all at that point (trailer was made in September).

I think the games will largely look just like that. 

"Final hardware" never makes *that* big of a difference, that's also another running excuse.
