With advancements and technology they should be much less faster than the N64, but the loading times are just horrible, sometimes even worse than the ps5. What gives?

Edit: this is not hate per say, this is confusion and a little annoyance

    I wasn’t calling the console itself a flop, hell I bought one, I was saying flop that the newer model did not increase resolution or picture quality at all, that was the flop

      Why would they do either of those things? Old games probably wouldn’t be able to take advantage without a game update and then they’d have to handle old and new Switches. Doesn’t seem worth it for anyone involved because most people who already had a Switch aren’t going out to buy the upgrade. Then, if you did those things the battery life is going to be much worse.

        To bring themselves up to an industry standard? To make the games look good on standard tvs? Lots of reasons.

          That makes sense for a new console, not a refresh.

            Ps4 pro would like to have a word. It’s no excuse

              PS4 Pro doesn’t have to worry about battery life. The Switch need to limit itself to 15 watts or less to avoid overheating and battery life would be so short that it would be useless as a handheld console.

      The newer Switch models use a smaller node for the APU. Nintendo had a lot of available overhead but they chose to keep the system down-clocked and more than double battery life. A long battery life is more important to a handheld console than higher resolution.

      Even with the downclocking the newer systems actually have better performance than the original models.
