So you’re telling me you expected game companies to still support last gen consoles after 3 years? It’s always been like this, last gen users stop getting supported because Sony and Microsoft know people will buy the next gen console after a few years. Meanwhile, Nintendo always releases consoles that are stuck in last gen performance if not lower, but Nintendo is such a big market some companies can’t help themselves and will release a shitty port on Nintendo consoles.
It's good to see gamer speaking up. The real issue is that games are getting closer to the $100 Mark and gamers are less willing to take that loss on a bad game.
That price is fine on other consoles where it makes sense for the budget, but specifically on this 6 year old hardware... yeah it should have been way cheaper. The experience is nowhere near the same.
You should have to pay everything we do on next gen, especially if the devs took the time to try and give these outdated systems a product. Then yall got the audacity to complain when it looks bad. You can't fix stupidity.
@@rudeboyspodcast If the content is missing from the Switch version of this game then yeah it should be cheaper, for example Batman Arkham Origins on Wii u when it first came out costed 10 dollars less then other versions which was 60 dollars because it didn't have multiplayer, On the other hand if the Switch version has the same content as other versions, then can you really justify the reduced base price people are asking for in the Switch version because if you reduce the base price for it while it has the same content as the other versions, those who want to play this game on PS5 or Xbox Series X/S or PC may not be pleased that they have to pay 70 dollars for this game while Switch players can pay less for the same game.

The scariest thing is that someone at Warner Bros Games actually said "This is ok, we can sell this game at full price!" It's absolutely terrifying that this kind of stuff is becoming the norm nowadays.
Because people lap up this garbage regardless of quality. They bitch and moan, but still buy it because they can't deny themselves basic pleasures. Just look at the recent Pokemon games. They've been considered garbage, but they still sold like hot cakes because "Oh my god! ! Must consume product!"

More and more reasons as to why the $70 new base line is such a bad idea. Ever since it started, so many crappy, ugly, broken games have been put out at that price.
People called it back with Tears of the Kingdom. The message that publishers took wasn't that a Switch game of sufficient size and quality was worth $70. The message they took from it was that $70 was the new price for Switch games.
Next gen graphics doesn't matter they'll still hide behind the portability for that upcharge. Also they already wanted to push $10 more for the switch cartridges
The worst part of this graphically for me is no facial animation. Thats literally one of the most impressive things about modern NRS games along with lighting and the like
I already had a issue with Zelda Tears of the Kingdom being 70usd because I feel no game should have a base price above 60usd or else videogames become too expensive as a hobby for most people. (Have met many people irl who no longer play AAA games because they cost too much money) Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is not even a year old and already other companies are looking at that and go “hey! If they can sell games at 70usd on Nintendo, we can too!” And now we got games like this.
they make a crap game, nerf character design, censor, and then ask $70 for a game. the way it is with all those ugly characters, $30 would be a high price for it already.
Also, i dont say that $70 is "full price". To me $60 is "full price". $70 is OVER full price. I still do not believe it should be the "new standard full price".
I blame the Switch for being hella underpowered but i also blame WB for the anti-consumer choice of making a port they 100% knew would have no chance of not sucking even before they started making it
i went on other mk1 switch videos , and the amount of people in the comments defending the game , " honestly its better than i expected " and trying to shut people down for calling out the obvious about the game being a bad port is ridiculous. nothing will justify that $70 price tag
Tf you talking about the gamecube had some incredible graphics and gameplay for its time majority of gamecube games are better than most triple AAA games today
The GameCube could run some killer looking stuff. The world of Pikmin, the water in Mario Sunshine, the entirety of Luigi's mansion, all are examples of incredible graphical fidelity from that platform. This looks closer to prototype footage from an unfunded fan mod that's remastering an unfinished GameCube title.
I remember working on NIntendo Wii Titles in my first years of quality assurance about 15 years ago and publishers back in the days, at the very least, were creating different games for the lower-end consoles to make sure they remained enjoyable. Some times, it was a complete graphics overhaul to change the entire visual feel of the game, while others would change entire gameplay mechanics to make it unique. The trick was to hire studios that were specialized in the "lower-end" consoles so that they could make their own take of the "next-gen" versions. I had the chance of working on the Ghostbusters titles that were released around 2010, and had a blast with the Wii / DS versions since they were different from the gloomy 360/ps3 version. The Wii was making an awesome use of the motion controls, and the 3ds was an action-rpg with interesting mechanics, was easy, but original at the very least. So many titles managed to do it back in the days. But now, publishers are skimming so much on any kind of spending that they want to release a single build accross all platforms without any regards to quality. The more it goes, the closer we're getting to a second crash of the videogame industry. At the very leasts, we'll have the indie scene to take over while the general public gets angry and big studios for taking them for piggy banks. In my opinion, give it 10 years max and we might see a shift.

I really don't understand this argument, everyone and their mom's know that this graphically intense game wouldn't perform well with something low grade as a switch
Quite literally the only reason why they have put Mortal Kombat 1 on the Nintendo Switch is entirely because it's the most popular current platform at the moment and they wanted as much potential sales as they could with as little effort as possible.
Thats the only reason. If it had the same install base as the other two currently do, they wouldnt have bothered. The Switch install base is the only reason they even bothered with what little effort they put in.
@@conormcbeast2805Google was shelling out millions to find stadia development, those costs were a large part of stadias limited library, poor ports and expensive nature
This is wild to hear considering after the last Pokemon game mines is just collecting dust. But who the hell would want to play mortal Kombat on the switch? The controllers are so small and fragile ain't no way you playing competitively without needing a new set after like 3 fights
Just a reminder that they skipped putting the game on ps4 and the xbox one because they wanted to step into the next gen, but thought the switch version would be fine.
Current Gen and last gen are not the same thing. For Nintendo, the switch is current gen. Of course Sony and Microsoft are going to stop supporting their older consoles.
It's stuff like this that make me appreciate how Playtonic Games went about making Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair by developing the Switch version first to get a baseline of what they can do, and then upscale and upres everything for PS4 and Xbox One.
The switch is an ancient mobile device that was already outdated at its release. Mario and Zelda arent doing anything special so it's all Nintendo ever needed. Its crazy to me that people fall for buying games on there for full price. The great looking ports are old af games and those days are long gone. It was only a matter of time. Stop preordering games.
What's crazy is that NetherRealm's Lead Systems Designer said that even though they weren't developing the game, they were going to review it for 'quality." They let this ship and that should be raising questions as to why.
Probably because they have a deal with Nintendo that they have to deliver the game at the same period as the other two versions. And they can’t properly finish it in time.
You're kinda skipping on the fact that it's not even developed by NRS, rather a whole different studio, same goes for the PC, a completely different studio
Outsourced development for the switch version. With last gen consoles you'd have to develop for ps4/pro, xbox1,xbox1x and it's better to just focus on the current gen. The game might have had to have been delayed or came out half baked.
@@Luke973Tyour comment is half baked, and these guys have plenty of man power to make it on PS4 and ps5 and release on time 💀 stop defending a company that doesn't care about you.
The switch was underpowered when it came out and as you can imagine years later it can only really run stuff that has "stylistic" graphics where detail isn't really the emphasis (botw, TotK). Switch 2 will need DLSS in order for it to do well in the graphics department while fitting in a handheld package.
They got greedy and lazy and it bit them in the ass. The fact that both NetherRealm and Nintendo approved of this is just mind boggling. What were they thinking?! 🤦♂ The $70 price tag is just the cherry on top.
I don't mind the game having worst graphics. Being able to experience the new game is exciting in of itself. But paying the SAME PRICE as the Xbox/PC/PS version? That's not right.
@@ranzorrYou’re still missing the point, the Switch version is missing content and definitely had less resources put into making it, it should at least be 10 dollars cheaper at the beat minimum, arguably 25 dollars cheaper.
Dawg, the devs don’t get to make these decisions, stop blaming them when they probably were put under a lot of crunch time to make it possible. I swear, the internet will pick their pitchforks and witch hunt the wrong person.
You can really tell that the devs got so frustrated trying to port the game that they straight up gave up half way through on even attempting to do a good job. I'm not even mad though because switch is so behind modern consoles that this should have been expected.
yea this would be acceptable for $35 but what are they actually thinking selling this for $70 on any platform it’s just another reskinned mortal kombat X. it even has the exact same hitboxes on scorpion😭 same engine same animations same jump height and delay as a 2014 game yikes
@@justyahz796 A lot of sequels use the same assets that's nothing new and not bad at all. It's only bad when 70 - 100% is virtually unchanged. There's still new models, new characters altogether, an entire story etcetera. These days the price for most games isn't based on the overall quality(companies just say that's the case because it sounds good) Today's prices are either to cover heightened cost to make them or just greed, usually both. In the switch ports case I'd say it's both. They knew people wouldn't enjoy it but still wanted to cover the cost of getting it to even run. That's why they never showed footage of the switch version in advertising specifically outside of saying it's coming.
@@Troja1234 That's true, the only reason other ports of other games are at least tolerable is because the studios in question spent extra time working on the switch port and the switch version usually came after all the other versions, with some exceptions. Mortal Kombat compared to other games that are larger in scope and still function, should not have been impossible, it's just that it needed to be delayed. And once we saw that it wasn't delayed, it should have been obvious it would run like garbage.
I've stopped being surprised at 70$ Game Quality at this point. For 70$ from a AAA studio, I now expect to get less than indie level quality so that I'm never disappointed, yet I'm still left disappointed. It's becoming the new industry standard.
To be honest, at first I was fully blaming the Switch since Nintendo still thinks 720p is top tier HD graphics, but NRS still charging $70 for a downgraded version of the game is downright criminal.
The Switch is a portable console. It was never meant to have top tier graphics. Blaming Switch for not competing with living room consoles in terms of graphics is like blaming a laptop for not outperforming a desktop.
@@David-nq8cv nah if it was inflation they should be $65 rn they just got greedy and jumped the gun to $70 Especially when most AAA games are not worth the premium becuse if launch issues

GOW Ragnarok was worth $70 Etc. But Redfall? Should have been $30Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart should have been $50
@@David-nq8cvnope. No one asked AAA companies to spend gajillions on patent lawyers, casino consultants, executive compensation packages and God only knows how many hours on making games into live services and online marketplaces instead of just making an F'IN decent game and selling it. .... oh, I guess the shareholders did. They want new yachts.
I think they could have made it look better if they did more work, weirdly enough. Like tweaking the art style to be a little simpler, maybe remodeling some mkdels manually (im guessing they just used a tool to auto-scale these down), and especially redoing the textures. Switch games can look decent even if it's a much less powerful console, but this is a miss.
That's what I've been thinking. They put MK9 on the Vita, and it actually looks like they took into account that it wasn't as powerful. Some models still aren't amazing, but it doesn't look that bad honestly.
What's wild is they skipped the PS4 and XB1 but somehow dropped it for the (PS3/360 era) Switch. Then added insult to injury with that $70 price tag. The Switch is long overdue to be put to pasture and make way for new hardware.
Sure but this isn't the switch starting to struggle, because that platforms's been doing great still. The only 'issue', not that I'd call it one, is that it doesn't really cater to graphics arms-race games where style is eschewed in favour of super-quickly dated photo-realism insanity.
The problem isnt that the console might be struggling or not. Games made well run well. Pikmin 4 has really good graphics and runs smooth. I'd arguably blame the port itself
They already should had released it- in the next two years the next switch will have been released but this latency will have made the newest switch to feel like old platform in comparison with ps5 pro and the series x or the xcloud technology. It still will help for aaa games that in the small screen won't have decent problems but in a 40 inches screen...
@@Darca1n The switch isn't starting to struggle. It has struggled for as long as it has existed. Its hardware was outdated when it was released and currently is way past being obsolete. It's at a point where a game designed for current gen consoles or pc can't be ported because the switch is simply too weak to even run it. Only games the switch can run well are the ones intentionally made to look cartoonish and graphically simple to not overwhelm its decade old hardware. They say it's an artistic choice, as if it was a choice.
I genuinely cannot recall another year that was _this bad_ when it came to botched game launches. There have been so many games that came out in 2023 that were either broken at launch, had performance issues, were boring or outright terrible, that I cannot even keep count anymore. And we’ve still got four more months to, on top of that. This surely has to be a record.
Mortal Kombat 1 on other systems is pretty good and it doesn’t really have that much bugs or glitches than what the Nintendo Switch has. I feel like this is more of a poor porting issues in which a lot of games are mostly having nowadays for some reason imo 🤷
@@Herbs2Whaaa....you're expecting these virgmoids to use their brains and not just see one thumbnail to then come to a conclusion of how a game actually runs & plays like ????
In terms of high-profile botched releases, yeah, this is a new high. In terms of overall botched releases, the NES era's Nintendo Quality Seal of Approval was basically worth diddly dick. So much garbage was released during those years that were easily 0/10 games.
Honestly, as someone who owns a switch, I saw this coming from a mile away. The thing runs on last gen hardware and the truth is, if it wasn't made for or on the switches hardware capabilities, it'll most likely run pretty bad. And even then native Switch games have their own issues. This doesn't shock me at all.
the thing is, the Switch's hardware isn't even on par with last gen. It was way underpowered for being released alongside the major consoles and I still find it crazy people spent the kind of money they did on the system. Some phones run better than the Switch, and that's saying something about the lack of power that system has.
@@WutTheDeuceGaming the reason is that you can play a lot of quality triple AAA games on the go without having to play flying gorilla on your phone, and compared to the other consoles and especially pc the nintendo switch is much cheaper and more accessible to families and casuals. Not everybody has the time nor money to buy the switches competitors.
@@WutTheDeuceGaming the switch is more powerfully than a ps3, you guys clearly don't understand how hardware works. this isn't the result of the switch being underpowered, its the result of lazy devs that couldn't be bothered to optimize a port for the switch
@@WutTheDeuceGaming nah i feel like it's more of a warner brothers fault type of thing than the switch's hardware. i mean sure the switch's hardware might be underpower but they've obv could've made a better port than this mess but no they decided to just cut the cost so they can save as much money as they can due to their company being on a all time low. it prbly wouldn't be that great as the ps5 or the xbox series x or the pc verisons but in my guess it would've at least been better than what the hell this game is as of right now
This just says to me that Nintendo needs to release the next generation Switch sooner rather than later. This is just getting embarrassing at this point.
WB yet again showing how much they care about ports and their major titles. Who remembers when they cancelled MK11 support after a year of development, and they said it was a 2 year cycle? NRS' reputation will be buried by their publishing company if it continues to get any worse.
In several of the shots, I'm thinking they could cut back a bit on the background detail and give it to the characters. Making a game for a weak system like the Switch is all about being smart about where to make the graphical cuts, and it looks like they made cuts in all the wrong places. Definitely not a $70 game.
I dont know why people think that buying MK on the switch would perform the same as any other console/PC. Its like buying raisins and expecting grapes from it.
I get that MK11 sold pretty well on the Switch, and that's why they did this, but man... This looks BAD. Like, $70 for THIS? Switch players deserve better. MK11's port wasn't the best, but not even that looked THIS bad. Jeez.
I know the graphics are shit but someone buying a switch game and comparing it to the graphics of an Xbox or PS is laughable. The market decides if the price is the correct one or not. If you're going to pay for a game at the same price as the more powerful consoles expecting it to be just as good, you should lose your money. We all know the Switch is a lot weaker, hardware-wise, so don't pay for it. Force them to lower the price through the power of your wallet. We all know the corporates at the gaming companies are going to try to cheat us. The devs may care about the customers but they don't set the price of the big AAA games. The only thing they respect is your purchasing power. Use it.
Bro people will complain about everything. If you bought it on the switch, you already know what to expect. And if you don’t like it, don’t buy it. No one is forcing anyone to buy a 70 dollar game on the switch 😅
The witcher 3 for switch costed like $70 when it first came out too for an older game. I think the switch MK1 cost correlates to the time it took to make MK1 work and run on switch like witcher 3
Reasons why handheld gaming PC's like the Steam Deck or Rog Ally exist, if you prefer triple A gaming with good graphics on the go. Either that or wait for the Switch 2 (if it's powerful enough).
Shit man, if the switch would be as powerful as the PS5 or series x, hell even a high-end PC, I'd buy it in an instant. But sadly I doubt it'll even reach last gen performance.
@@originalscreenname44 it'll most likely be imo simulator to the "New" 3DS where it's just slightly over clocked with a somewhat better Chip inside with probably 10 exclusives for it only
@@theramennoodler7950 If the Switch wants to reach parity with current gen, it would also have to cost as much as current gen and the people who buy Nintendo consoles would riot.
They could’ve done a completely different art design to compensate graphics on the game. Nintendo has their own style of graphics for many games. Maybe make it look cartoon like Zelda or something. Idk trying to keep the game in the same style and design as other obviously more powerful consoles is just a fantasy.
@@Khqra no it doesn’t but back in the day years ago they would make special versions of certain games for consoles and portables where they could the standard for said console and still perform without missing out on the story and gameplay elements.
I hate this trend of repackaging old games and selling them as “new”. It’s really disingenuous and it seems like they rather play on the consumers nostalgia than test the waters with something new.
I like those graphics by the way. Imagine what the Switch version graphics for Reagan Ridley, Kid Cosmic, Naofumi, Zero Two, and Elzabeth Renfield. At least they're keeping the 2D eyes and mouth on the characters. On the other hand, Tari, Gigachad, Erica Slaughter, William, Pepsiman, Spike, Zhongli, Omni-Man, Peacemaker, Homelander, Quan Chi, Takeda and even Ermac have the 3D models with the same eyes and mouth.
i'm not defending it since its 70 bucks but its kinda expected that a game with such a high-detail realistic art style wouldn't run well on switch. They should have just never released it for the console in the first place. They could have just waited for the switch pro which we know is coming now and made it a launch title for that...
The facial animations in this game are awesome, hilarious and fit right into the old action movie style they were going for, to remove that from the Switch really does harm the story mode, feel bad for people who are missing out on all that.

Steam Deck Sales: 🚀🚀🚀
Nintendo Switch Sales: 🔻🔻🔻
I remember working on NIntendo Wii Titles in my first years of quality assurance about 15 years ago and publishers back in the days, at the very least, were creating different games for the lower-end consoles to make sure they remained enjoyable. Some times, it was a complete graphics overhaul to change the entire visual feel of the game, while others would change entire gameplay mechanics to make it unique. The trick was to hire studios that were specialized in the "lower-end" consoles so that they could make their own take of the "next-gen" versions.
I had the chance of working on the Ghostbusters titles that were released around 2010, and had a blast with the Wii / DS versions since they were different from the gloomy 360/ps3 version. The Wii was making an awesome use of the motion controls, and the 3ds was an action-rpg with interesting mechanics, was easy, but original at the very least. So many titles managed to do it back in the days. But now, publishers are skimming so much on any kind of spending that they want to release a single build accross all platforms without any regards to quality.
The more it goes, the closer we're getting to a second crash of the videogame industry. At the very leasts, we'll have the indie scene to take over while the general public gets angry and big studios for taking them for piggy banks. In my opinion, give it 10 years max and we might see a shift.
Imagine buying the deluxe edition at $109. You could get a used Switch console system for that price. Then this is the experience you have.

Switch 2 will need DLSS in order for it to do well in the graphics department while fitting in a handheld package.
"stylistic" lol

I think they could have made it look better if they did more work, weirdly enough. Like tweaking the art style to be a little simpler, maybe remodeling some mkdels manually (im guessing they just used a tool to auto-scale these down), and especially redoing the textures. Switch games can look decent even if it's a much less powerful console, but this is a miss.

What's wild is they skipped the PS4 and XB1 but somehow dropped it for the (PS3/360 era) Switch. Then added insult to injury with that $70 price tag. The Switch is long overdue to be put to pasture and make way for new hardware.
At this point, Nintendo better release their next console soon if the Switch is starting to struggle.
Sure but this isn't the switch starting to struggle, because that platforms's been doing great still.
The only 'issue', not that I'd call it one, is that it doesn't really cater to graphics arms-race games where style is eschewed in favour of super-quickly dated photo-realism insanity.
The problem isnt that the console might be struggling or not. Games made well run well. Pikmin 4 has really good graphics and runs smooth. I'd arguably blame the port itself
Its not struggling. It's equally bad releases on pc/ps5/series x such as gollum

Honestly, as someone who owns a switch, I saw this coming from a mile away. The thing runs on last gen hardware and the truth is, if it wasn't made for or on the switches hardware capabilities, it'll most likely run pretty bad. And even then native Switch games have their own issues. This doesn't shock me at all.
the thing is, the Switch's hardware isn't even on par with last gen. It was way underpowered for being released alongside the major consoles and I still find it crazy people spent the kind of money they did on the system. Some phones run better than the Switch, and that's saying something about the lack of power that system has.

Soul calibur looks better on ps3 and the switch has more than double the power of that.Lazy effort and disgraceful pricing.
This just says to me that Nintendo needs to release the next generation Switch sooner rather than later. This is just getting embarrassing at this point.
The worst thing about this is that MK11 looks better than MK1 on Switch.
WB yet again showing how much they care about ports and their major titles. Who remembers when they cancelled MK11 support after a year of development, and they said it was a 2 year cycle? NRS' reputation will be buried by their publishing company if it continues to get any worse.
In several of the shots, I'm thinking they could cut back a bit on the background detail and give it to the characters. Making a game for a weak system like the Switch is all about being smart about where to make the graphical cuts, and it looks like they made cuts in all the wrong places. Definitely not a $70 game.
I remember being shocked that MK11 is on the Switch, so this is more hilarious than shocking to me
I dont know why people think that buying MK on the switch would perform the same as any other console/PC. Its like buying raisins and expecting grapes from it.

Surprisingly, I still don’t think it’s worse than Activision ported BO3 backwards onto old gen consoles lol
I know the graphics are shit but someone buying a switch game and comparing it to the graphics of an Xbox or PS is laughable. The market decides if the price is the correct one or not. If you're going to pay for a game at the same price as the more powerful consoles expecting it to be just as good, you should lose your money. We all know the Switch is a lot weaker, hardware-wise, so don't pay for it. Force them to lower the price through the power of your wallet. We all know the corporates at the gaming companies are going to try to cheat us. The devs may care about the customers but they don't set the price of the big AAA games. The only thing they respect is your purchasing power. Use it.
Bro people will complain about everything. If you bought it on the switch, you already know what to expect. And if you don’t like it, don’t buy it. No one is forcing anyone to buy a 70 dollar game on the switch 😅
The witcher 3 for switch costed like $70 when it first came out too for an older game. I think the switch MK1 cost correlates to the time it took to make MK1 work and run on switch like witcher 3
Reasons why handheld gaming PC's like the Steam Deck or Rog Ally exist, if you prefer triple A gaming with good graphics on the go. Either that or wait for the Switch 2 (if it's powerful enough).

Idk trying to keep the game in the same style and design as other obviously more powerful consoles is just a fantasy.
Not how game development works..
Like the Switch version of FF15!
@@Khqra no it doesn’t but back in the day years ago they would make special versions of certain games for consoles and portables where they could the standard for said console and still perform without missing out on the story and gameplay elements.
I hate this trend of repackaging old games and selling them as “new”. It’s really disingenuous and it seems like they rather play on the consumers nostalgia than test the waters with something new.
I like those graphics by the way. Imagine what the Switch version graphics for Reagan Ridley, Kid Cosmic, Naofumi, Zero Two, and Elzabeth Renfield. At least they're keeping the 2D eyes and mouth on the characters. On the other hand, Tari, Gigachad, Erica Slaughter, William, Pepsiman, Spike, Zhongli, Omni-Man, Peacemaker, Homelander, Quan Chi, Takeda and even Ermac have the 3D models with the same eyes and mouth.
With great budget comes great responsibility
i'm not defending it since its 70 bucks but its kinda expected that a game with such a high-detail realistic art style wouldn't run well on switch. They should have just never released it for the console in the first place. They could have just waited for the switch pro which we know is coming now and made it a launch title for that...
Its like they used different character models for this.
But hey, on the bright side, new meme templates
That Mileena looks straight from Skibbidi Toilet, lmao $70 dollars for a subpar experience is insane.
The facial animations in this game are awesome, hilarious and fit right into the old action movie style they were going for, to remove that from the Switch really does harm the story mode, feel bad for people who are missing out on all that.
They should roast old Nintendo game released on switch for $50-60
Like what game?
You buy a potato (w/ drifty Joycons)
You praise the potato
You pay for more potatoes
You get more potatoes (and mashed graphics)
Y U mad?
I like potatoes
@@franciswyvern You praised the potato successfully
It will baffle me to the end of my life why they even bothered with that glorified phone to even port it lmao
