I was just poking in jest.. hence the double tongue. But yeah these are worse results than a generation old hardware which in itself was pretty horrible in terms of image quality and this is downgraded even more. First party Nintendo games looks okay due to art style. Ports like this doesn't really do the system any favors to highlight its limitations. Granted yeah, its portable/hybrid console.

And of course its nice for people who haven't played it before and have a Switch. But really the games been out for 6 years. You would have thought the majority of people who'd wanted to play the game would have picked it up by now. Honestly I can't see why anyone would pick up an inferior port (at full price) of a game that could be picked up for so cheap on last gen consoles/PC - which will get a next gen patch in the upcoming months. Though yeah, if Switch if your only console/games machine then yeah sure, why not.

Well, in addition to Switch only owners, there's also those for whom the opportunity to play it portably is worth the technical downgrade. Witcher 3 was several years old when it came to Switch, and not exactly a looker, but apparently plenty of people still picked it up. As long as there's money to be made for the developer/publisher, and gamers willing to buy it, it's basically a matter of "why not?"
