Limited by Switch hardware, which itself is just a little better than Wii U, which itself was a little better than PS3. Switch 2 should be a big upgrade over Switch/Wii U level graphics as Nintendo does big jumps every two generations.

Would you rather have a PS3 looking Metroid Prime 4 on Switch, or a PS4/PS4 Pro looking Metroid Prime 4 on Switch 2? I'd rather the second option. Make it a launch title and it won't be that far away from an end of Switch 1 timed game but MUCH more impressive looking and playing.

I guarantee Nintendo has themselves been working on Switch 2 games already so they can be ready for Switch 2 launch window, why not MP4 as well from Retro?

Bold 1: The Switch is like 5 times as powerful as the PS3. Plenty of games look fantastic on the Switch. There's no reason for hyperbole like that. Pokémon Legends Arceus is not a benchmark title. Metriod Prime 4 will look way better in every way even if it releases next year on the Switch alone.

I don't care about graphics. Artstyle is more important.

Bold 2: You can not guarantee anything.

You show me screenshots between AAA games on both devices that show 5 times more power. And don't cherry pick some pathetic studio vs. some amazing studio. Until then, I'm sticking with my stance. I remember what PS3 games looked like, what Wii U games looked like, and what Switch games look like. There is virtually no graphical difference to the normal consumer.

I agree, art style is more important. But art styles can really be enhanced by more power.

It would be lunacy to think Nintendo doesn't have games in development for Switch 2. At most it is coming out in 2025, which is only 3-4 years away depending on release month. AAA games need 3-5 years to make. This is a certainty that they have games being made for it.
