"powerful enough to run switch games..."

Either I have a bad setup (which I most likely do) for the emulator or it's a game by game situation because I tried playing the new Sonic x Shadows Generations on my switch for the Shadow story. It was fairly laggy and I had to hard resety Deck after using a certain move because it caused everything to freeze.

Emulation definitely worked perfectly when I tried playing fire emblems engage, though, so I'm gonna say it's a problem with SxSG instead of a bad setup issue.
