Heh, a Switch port. Was eyeing MKX a couple years back but didn’t buy it because I figured I’d never make the time to actually sit down and play it on a big screen. On Switch though it’d be much easier to just play it in short bursts. Interesting, interesting...

Please, not this nonsense.

I'm worried about how it will look. I know a lot of people prefer any game over no game at all, and to an extent I do too (assuming the port is decent), but also for these big realistic looking triple A's the downgrades are a lot more noticeable than say for something like Valkyria Chronicles 4. 

Smash for Switch actually looks surprisingly amazing so if it's 30fps on Switch it might have a chance of looking decent.

Also in terms of reveal trailers, the Mortal Kombat 10 trailer looks more visually impressive, but most likely just do to the way it was made. That dark shadow lighting next to the white snow is so beautiful.

Well it will be interesting to see, but NetherRealm Studios are probably content with what they can achieve with the engine on Switch, since they already announced a simultaneous launch for all systems.
This is also interesting because it suggests that one of the major gripes with these kind of multiplats may be a non-issue, or not noticeable in this case. I'm referring to how developing games for the lowest common denominator can affect the higher end versions negatively, by the lower end versions holding them back.
That the developer says the visuals and gameplay will surprise us in that manner means that however the Switch may be holding another version back in any way, it probably won't be noticeable, and in fact may be overshadowed by how improved the game looks compared to the previous entry.
So I have a feeling the overall impression will be that it looks impressive on all platforms.

A 30fps hardcore fighting game though? I don't think NetherRealm would do that.
That would make framedata impossible to read.

Yeah, now that I think about it they wouldn't even need to do that to have decent graphics. Just make it like a middle ground between MK9 and 11

The music total did not fit the trailer

Sick trailer. Keep the gore coming. I know it's not a popular opinion, but I actually liked the music. Not even a fan of 21 Savage, but it flowed well with what was going on.

The music in the trailer was dope. It was straight murder music.

Anyway the game looks pretty good. I'll probably get it on my xbox over my switch.

Well you said it's a port.

How a game juste teased and not even released yet on any platform whatsoever can be a port on Switch ? That's nonsense.

Might double dip the game if they give us another collectors edition with a statue. The scorpion one from MKX was awesome

You are confusing port with “late port”.

No. It's pushing the port concept way too far. A port is when you make a game and you decide to put it on another system to run it. The game is originally announced for all 4 platforms at the same time. I'm not talking about release date. From the begining, the game is announced for all platforms, so how, of all platforms, only Switch "version" (and not port) is considered as a port ? That's nonesense.

Well, if you think that my opinion is pushing the concept of what a port is, you can believe that, i will not try to change your mind on that subject.

But i never said the Switch version is the only one that is a port. Except for one, all the others are ports.
