Coming from a modern console, the first hour of Tears of the Kingdom felt painfully sluggish.

One complaint from a catalog of how many games?

  • Tears of the Kingdom is far from the only Switch game with performance issues. Off the top of my head, the newest Pokemon games (and the next newest, to a lesser extent) run like shit on the Switch. I've heard complaints about other games too.

    It was underpowered when it was released in 2016, so it really shouldn't be that surprising.

    • Again, from how many?

      And if we are going to start counting frame drops as argument against focusing on gameplay instead of triangles per second, there is no safe platform then.

  • Why do people by a Switch? Mario (Kart), Zelda, and Pokémon.

    Those three franchises represent a huge percent of sales. 70%?

    • People that hardly know Nintendo yes.

      People that know Nintendo, buy those and plenty of others.
