Nintendo Switch Fans Aren't Happy With The Outer Worlds Port
On Friday, The Outer Worlds will release on Nintendo Switch. The port has been highly-anticipated [...]
Some are calling it N64 quality...
Outer Worlds (Switch) screenshots be floating around like it was just released on the N64.

Many seem to be re-thinking a purchase.
I'm so glad I didn't pre-order The Outer Worlds on Switch. I'm just going to download the game on my Xbox One X for free. I really wanted to play the game portable tho but...... pic.twitter.com/GyDimZnpPf

Apparently no one learned their lesson from Jurassic Park!
Just because you can port it to the Switch doesn't mean you should...Looking at you The Outer Worlds

It's not like the system can't handle big games!
If you're not going to put in the effort to make your Switch port good, don't announce a Switch port.
If The Witcher 3 can run on this little guy in a completely playable state, there is no excuse for Switch ports to look as bad as The Outer Worlds does.

The port might have been a bit too ambitious.
If the sacrifices are too big, then don't do it, move on, and maybe instead make a game built specifically for that platform.
I absolutely think that The Outer Worlds would have been awesome to have on the switch, but not like this!
It is not worth it, IMO!— Tommy (@TimmyTomzo) June 4, 2020
Thankfully, there are other options.
I’d like to point out that while the Outer Worlds may be garbage on Switch, it’s PHENOMENALLY fun on console/PC so try it out on one of those instead!

Well, that's a bold statement!
Wow The Outer Worlds looks awful on the Switch.
But The Outer Worlds wasn't good anyway, so not a loss.
I said what I said.

Some remain optimistic, however.
For those looking at The Outer Worlds Switch port, remember, it’s obviously going to look bad compared the other versions. Will it still feel like The Outer Worlds? Overall consensus says yes. Portability is the name of the game here ppl.
