Putting the whole judging games based on graphics out there feels dishonest. I personally don't give a rip how games look on the switch or can at the very least get over it pretty quick as long as they aren't plgsued with performance issues . We shouldn't be in a spot where playing modern console games on emulator is often a better experience than the real thing.
The switch architecture is very dated and the only ones who really know their way around to hack things together and make it kinda work is Nintendo. Still amazed that TOTK is playable on Switch with everything going on, but for a third-party dev to do the same would probably take an insane amount of effort. Its not worth it. Just update the standard and everyone will benefit.
