Yet another strong port by Panic Button, they really are the MVP of third party conversions to Switch. This, Doom, Wolfenstein II, and Rocket League all in the space of a year.
Cool to see a console game that gives the player so many options in terms of tweaking the graphical settings, and especially nice to see DF's brief bit on post-patch Wolfenstein II on Switch confirming that its resolution and framerate have indeed improved, though sadly I guess this probably rules out them doing a full analysis on it.

Even before the Digital Foundry video I was scratching my head at why people were acting like this was another panic button miracle. When it came out on PS4 it looked pretty ugly as a game, it was basically an Xbox 360 game but with less jaggies and a slightly cleaner image. |
I wouldn't call this particular port a "miracle" myself. Wolfenstein II, now that was a miracle, as it has performance issues even on PS4/Xbox One.
That said, Warframe has undergone significant graphical upgrades since its admittedly rather plain looking 2013 release, and these improvements carry over into the Switch build. And at the end of the day, it's still a game with graphics built to PS4 spec running on a mobile chipset a fraction the size and wattage of a PS4, so its inherently more challenging to port than last gen stuff like Diablo 3 or Skyrim.
