What you call 'control freak' is just the culture of a company focussed on creating a curated experience which is a combination of software, hardware and user experience. Anything not fitting in that vision diminishes that experience and they will do anything to prevent that. Of course, they also like to get paid for their work ;)
- thefz 3y ago> just the culture of a company focussed on creating a curated experience Core product on core platform struggles to reach playable FPS at launch. A "curated experience" is waaaay different than this.
- pallas_athena 3y agoAccording to Digital Foundry [0], the game is a perfectly stable 30fps the vast majority of the time [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLlZBwN_-C4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLlZBwN_-C4
- thefz 3y ago"30fps the vast majority of the time" in 2023 is just laughable.
- Maken 3y agoThe standard in 2023 is "broken at launch" and "sub 30 FPS in latest hardware".
- Accacin 3y agoIt's not in my opinion though. I have a Gaming PC and a Switch. My gaming PC has a 6900XT and so I expect to be playing every game at 1440p @ 60FPS at a bear minimum - some games come out and surprisingly have trouble with that. The Switch is old hardware that was under-powered on release, therefore, I expect that I'm not going to be getting 60FPS. Basically, it's down to expectations. The Switch is absolutely great at what it does, and I appreciate it for that reason alone. My expectations are greatly different compared to a gaming PC/PS5/etc. My biggest gripes with Nintendo is the god awful way they handle people using their IP to make YouTube videos, etc.
- standing_user 3y agoBut with your pc you can play at 1080p ultra and have 60+ fps, on the switch you can't
- thefz 3y ago> My gaming PC has a 6900XT and so I expect to be playing every game at 1440p @ 60FPS at a bear minimum - some games come out and surprisingly have trouble with that. You can't even compare an open market in which small teams have to cope with the myriad of possible configurations, ofthen lacking the technical skills for optimizing their software down to the bit with the supposedly top product of a trillion dollar company writing software for their own devices - and failing to make it decent.
- bzzzt 3y agoNot when you add "on a complete system costing less than $300" to that sentence.

- valenterry 3y agoSorry but I think this is exaggerated. For Zelda BotW there was sometimes a low framerate when playing on second screen with 1080p in a very limited amount of regular game situations - and it was still okay. I really think Nintendo's games are a curated experience compared to everything else I know and have played with maybe very very few exceptions.
- geek_at 3y agoYo have clearly never played the latest pokemon on the switch. Frame drops and overall poor performance all over the world
