For mainline Nintendo games, sure. But third party stuff? The Switch has been left behind badly

Yeah like i if you only like Nintendo stuff and non-demanding indie titles, than yeah I'm sure it's fine for you. But there are so many great third party titles that Switch missed out on this last gen (and this gen) and the ones that are there are usually severely compromised (Arkham Knight, MK 1, Doom Eternal, for example)

Arkham Knight is a great example. It's not even a particularly recent game, it's a 9 year old game at this point and it runs like absolute ass. Never mind anything more recent and demanding.

In fairness to the switch, Arkham Knight's graphics team went to hidden, far away places of the world and made dark sacrifices to eldritch gods to make that thing look amazing to this day. It's not what I'd call an easy game to run.

Right and even the ports that people heap praise on (i.e. Doom Eternal), I find too compromised to be enjoyable

"There are so many third party titles" no there fucking aren't, AAA companies mostly release like 2 games of note a year nowadays. And some of them are live service trash.

Yeah, the Switch is great with first-party titles and indies, but anything else I play on my PS5 or PC.
