Do you think Metroid Prime 4 will have realistic graphics?

Given how poorly the Switch handles Doom, I don't have high hopes.
Sub 720p, sub 30FPS, in a linear FPS.
Yeah.

Creating complex, realistic environments on the Switch, will be a nightmare for the developers.

You seem to be forgetting that an exclusive developed specifically for the HW is a completely different beast when compared to multuplat games designed for 86x architecture on more powerful platforms.

 

A few examples...

 

Many believed that God of War level graphics were not possible on the base PS4 during the first few years of its life.

 

Many were suprised that Xenoblade Chronicles X could even run on the WiiU at all.

 

And many believed that Breath of the Wild had gotten too ambitious for the WiiU and would be Switch exclusive.  Not only did they deliver on those ambitions, but the WiiU version came day and date with the Switch version.

 

Fact is, until developers push the Switch to its limits with hardware SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR IT, we do not know what level of visual fidelity we can expect.
