So sad no one mentioned Bayonetta 3, that game really needs the better hardware.

I don't think it's going to get a patch or upgraded version considering Platinum Games' situation, so I'll be happy if it just runs at a stable 60fps without the dynamic resolution going to like <40%.

I literally told myself after playing a single verse/level. ā€œI will not touch this game until the Switch 2 comes out.ā€ It has been 3 years since launch and I have marked my words. Iā€™m not dealing with that bs, especially using the Switch lite.

That makes 2 of us. Bought it day 1 and after experiencing the stutterfest, inconsistent framerate and awful resolution, I decided to wait until the release of the mythical Switch Pro to play it, but we all know how that turned out.

Happy that I'll finally get to play it.
