I think Nintendo makes amazing games with great graphics, but my problem has always been their resolution.   

We know Nintendo refuses to release updated hardware and gives us consoles with gimmicks, not a bad thing. I don't look at Switch to be that at all. It's a hybrid. What annoys me is resolution. Wii U should've gave us more than 720p. 720p has been here since 2005. I know Wind Waker, Sm4sh had 1080p and maybe a few more titles and that's all.

When I play my Wii U for Splatoon, or Fast Racing Neo (I let MK8 rest for Deluxe, reason on last thread), it looks blurry. It's distracting. I own a 4K tv and playing 720p games on it looks bad on it. After awhile I'll get used to it, but this problem shouldn't be on Switch. This problem shouldn't be here for the next 5 years. While the PS4 Pro and Scorpio is enjoying 4K, I'll be here still on 720p.

1080p games looks great while upscaled to 4K in my opinion. 720p, not so much. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Fast Racing RMX are the only games I can think of that are confirmed 1080p. Breath of the Wild is 900p(that's fine), Super Mario Odyssey gameplay from Trailer is confirmed 720p, Splatoon 2 demo is 720p and we don't know what resolution ARMS is....... I'll still buy these awesome games but it's dissapointing that barely of them runs 1080p.

Yea I am aware that it's a hybrid and it's a kick-ass portable console, but I'm not sure if I'll be using handheld mode that often. I'm perfectly fine with the Switch screen being 720p too. But I just want 1080p Nintendo games(or atleast 900p) on my beautiful 4K screen....     

Your problem is you're not playing the games as Nintendo intended them. When using a Nintendo home console you need to be as far away from the TV so that it seems you're looking at a tiny handheld screen. That will definitely solve your blur problem.

Don't complain about Nintendo when you're not even using their devices properly.

I'd second this. In the old N64 days I could only play the console by breaking into a vacant house across the street and looking out from one of the bedrooms into the living room window. It could have been 4k for all I knew. It made the required pinpoint jumping of Turok dinosaur hunter all the more difficult especially as when cars went over my home made joystick cable extension it would cut out on the d-pad connection plus the neighbours banging on the front door and peering into the living room window wondering why the tv volume was so excessive often blocked my vision making the games doubly difficult. Luckily after a while they would spot me across the road and move to that front door restoring my view of the tv screen.
