Guys this is a good port not a bad port, surprisingly it did beat xbox 360 in handheld mode, it's has slightly higher resolution and better framerate. Some graphics effects are worse though.

But I wonder who wanna play this game now? It's old.

The Switch isn't a console and the video is comparing different ports of a game, not consoles.

You clearly missed the point of the anlaysis. It's a way better version than the PS3/Xbox 360, and is as stable as the PS4/Xbox One version.

The Switch is a console.

It's not?  What have I had hooked up to my TV for the past year and a half then?

'Switch' is Nintendo's next game console

The tablet itself (which Nintendo calls "the Switch Console") is thin and pretty attractive.

Better than PS3 and 360 versions? It has alpha effects that look way worse than last gen consoles and the audio is atrocious.

I wanted to play it on Switch but not when the sounds are that bad. Seems like it needs some updates to become the version it should be at release. Still even with audio patched Switch probably isn't capable of the sound quality of a PS3 but if it can match the 360 version I'll be fine.

AND a handheld.

What you have hooked up is a hybrid.

Well yeah, 900/1080p vs 720p and much more stable framerate vs terrible frame rate, while on other side you have worse sound and one worse effect.

I playing game on Switch for around 8 hours, on side bad audio on which you get used, port is very good and game is great even in portable mode.

The resolution boost is good, but the framerate isn't that much better. Blighttown and New Londo are the only places where framerate was a problem on PS3, and even then it wasn't always a problem. Most of the time the framerate is pretty close. But as I said, resolution boost is nice but the audio quality is so far behind it hurts the game on Switch far more than PS3's 640p and occasional framedrops did as it takes away part of the appeal.

Not saying it isn't an amazing game, Dark Souls with the drawbacks is still better than any other game released this year. Its Dark Souls, and it has the DLC which had to be bought separately on PS3 which makes it a better deal. Still its not like what the original commentator said that its way better on Switch than last gen, which it isn't.

Eh, frame rate was in 10s in Blighttown you dont have nothing even similar like that on Switch, and even in other parts game outside of Blighttown and New Londo there were dips below 20. Frame rate on Switch is much more consist in any case, and frame rate drops are much less frequent and much more smaller compared to 360/PS3, so we definatly talking about huge difference in frame rate. Look at link below.

Much higher resolution and much better frame rate defiantly means it better port despite have worse sound and one worse effect. Saying that, sound could be easily patched, I hope they will do that.
