    Or maybe just wait for the Switch 2, since that’s actually looking like it’s real? This could’ve been a good 3rd party launch title for it.

      I’m sure there are people out there with Switch as their only means to play games that would like to be able to play Mortal Kombat now and are happy it’s available. The people complaining have unrealistic expectations, either for what the Switch’s hardware can render, the amount of work that was and is required to make a game like it work on the Switch in the first place, or both. If you don’t want to play an inferior version of the game don’t buy it, but you clearly aren’t the target audience for the game.

        I mean, it probably would have been better than this. Not every game needs to release on all platforms. NeverRealm made a stupid decision trying to release on Switch at the same time as other consoles, especially when the Switch already has a foot in the grave as it is.

        If they’d have waited for the new hardware, sure some fans might’ve been a little upset, but it’s not like there’s a whole lot of crossover between MK fans and players who only own a Switch in the first place. Half of the MK games never got released on a Nintendo platform at all, and several that did didn’t release simultaneously with other platforms, and were also heavily modified ports.

        They could’ve waited a year or two, and not left such a bad taste in players’ mouths. I’m sure most people would’ve rather waited.

        Ah yes, I’m sure Sony lost oodles of money sitting on Spider-man and FF7R for years before they were ported to PC, or the other console “exclusives” that have a 3-12 month waiting period.
