But you don't need 4k resolution to have a great game. That's what OP is getting at. When making a game for beefier hardware, you can use the better graphics as a crutch instead of focusing on better gameplay and story.

Thats why SNES rpgs stories were so great. And the rpgs today are just long winded slogs.

Data limits forced writers to cut the fat out of their scripts for the games, and get to the point.

I don't need 35 hours to say "thats the bad guy".

Lol don’t stress they are literally talking about 4k on a 720p handheld, clearly brain damaged.

I was gonna mention that. The Switch is first and foremost a handheld device. You'd get no benefit from squeezing 4k onto a 7" display. The only thing it would do is decrease the battery life, which would be made even worse with a more powerful GPU.
