I know what 900p and 4K look like, I have a PS5 as well as a Switch. Not even sure if my TV supports 120fps to be honest.

I'm an unusual person, how graphics work is one of my interests and I'm more fascinated seeing what can be squeezed out of my venerable old Switch before I retire it than just seeing a somewhat basic port to hardware that can do so much more.

I've been awaiting it since 2017 so getting it on the console I was promised it for way back then just feels "right". From a sentimental perspective, I also wanna send off my Switch on a positive note, and I can't think of a better swan song.

I won't argue with your personal sentiments, that's fine. But your statement about it being a basic port is just wrong. It's probably the best use of the hardware we've seen so far. It's the only game they've showcased which offers modes of full 4k/60 and 120fps performance at full HD. It's very impressive and deserves to be acknowledged.

Also if your tv supported 120hz you would probably know. It's not the most common tv feature.

The actual assets don't seem to have changed much, so to my mind a res and fps bump still constitutes a fairly straight port. Of course, I acknowledge that supporting 120fps and 4K is commendable though, and the addition of mouse-con aiming is great to see.

At any rate, the game itself looks really good so far, to me at least. It's very much "more Prime" but after an 18 year absence that's fine by me.
