If you want nostalgia why not play it on proper hardware, instead of something that looks like a n64 game, or is that the nostalgia part.

I can only speak for myself. But whenever there is a game I want to play that is available for the Switch, I prefer that version over PS5 and PC for one simple reason: mobility. I can play with the Switch just about anywhere. That's not just great when I'm travelling. I also play a lot outside, in my bedroom or whatever. I also own a Steam Deck an a Lenovo Legion Go, which are a whole lot more powerful than the Switch. But I would still get multi-platform games for the Switch, because those PC handhelds aren't really mobile. Sure, you can move them, but they are so ginourmous that you don't want to carry them around all day. My Switch Lite fits in my pocket. Literally. At home I use the Switch OLED, which is still a whole lot smaller and lighter than my PC handhelds.

Now I don't care about Harry Potter. But with my 38 years, I came to a point where graphics and power simply do not matter anymore to me. I grew up with Star Fox running at 4 fps or something. I played GTA 4 the other day and still think the graphics of this 16 year old game are amazing. Graphics have gotten to a point, where they are just good enough for me, even on the low-end. Which is why I don't even think about it anymore and just get the games for the platform I prefer simply for reasons of convenience.

I don't know if I'm in the minority with that approach or not. As I said, I can only speak for myself.

Nothing wrong with that but if someone is a big Harry potter fan I would expect them to play a descent version cause the switch version is not even a true open world. It's cut back where it has load times, graphics look terrible compared to powerful hardware and frame rate is often dropping below 30fps with frame pacing if you are adult and don't love mobile gaming you really getting a butchered experience imo.
