Have you seen most switch 1 multiplat ports? They're absolute trash.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

They're downgraded, yes. But to say they're trash is a bit harsh. I still have no idea how they got DOOM 2016 and Eternal on the original Switch, and still surprised that they got Cyberpunk on the Switch 2. The Switch is undoubtedly the worst way to play most of those multi-platform games, but it's also the cheapest to get started in. That does count for a lot in people's eyes.

I've only heard of them being trash so far. I was hoping they'd still have some resemblance of fun. But if the small fraction of folks who've upgraded to a Switch 2 actually were to play more than those on Switch 1, then that would be a pretty clear sign that it just isn't fun on Switch 1.

But yeah, I'm not yet taking that for granted from this piece of news. I would assume, they wanted to drop the Switch 1 so quickly, because then they can start extending the game in ways that use more resources, which might be fine on their other supported platforms.
