It's so fun that people loves to complaining about Switch and ignoring the fact that the PS5 version ALSO has drops... despite being 100x more powerful! This just shows that it's ALWAYS up to the devs in the end.
I hope everyone enjoy this game on whatever platform you get it on. Hopefully they will iron this frame drop situation out before launch because it’s no reason for the Switch not to be able to handle this game flawlessly , so it’s definitely something on the developers end. How do I know? Because games like Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze which is 10yrs old has better graphics let alone more going on in screen and background and it runs at 60fps flawlessly. My daughter have a Switch and even though I play on PC I still play the Switch with her sometimes. But I will more likely get this on both platforms so I can play it on the go.
Same for me, l really noticed when l pull down on the stick to duck under bullets, lag is really bad on switch version, 30fps is no good for games like these.
How many times have people said that about various ports since the Switch launched? What do you expect from about portable using an old 1 Ghz ARM CPU…only so much they can do.
30fps on Switch and it still has drops. Glad I saw this video, this will no longer be on my wanted list. Oh well, still got the Contra Collection to enjoy.
It definitely runs 30 fps in 1080p on my PS4 pro. Total disgrace. Even Prince of Persia the lost crown runs in 4k and 60 on PS4 pro and looks better@@maxmal6067
If the demo is out... this is the finished product. Hate to break it to y'all. Just hope it gets patched before limited run makes the physical version.
@@jermainewright1757 actually it is. It's going to come out broken for the switch and they'll release a patch for it maybe. What you're thinking of is a beta. This is a demo of the full game.
I tried it on my Switch and PS5. On Switch the frame rate kept jumping and on the last boss the controls went haywire! To go right I had to push left. Then when it killed me.... the music was gone when I continued. Frame rate jumped once on PS5 and nothing else happened....
Nintendo Switch is basically based on some Wii U specs, which is based on Wii and GameCube specs…This makes the GameCube one of the most advanced consoles back in the day vs the PS2…this was the ONLY time Nintendo was ahead technologically
I can’t seem to get it to run at 60FPS on PS5! Am I supposed to use any special settings? I keep seeing smooth videos of the game, but can’t seem to make it happen on my end.
Thanks for your video, there is no excuse for this game to run 30fps on Switch, Way forward really dropped the ball on this. I wish the Japanese Devs returned to Contra and Castlevania, this game feels off to me when I played the demo earlier, hopefully they will support it with patches.
@@paulwright5064 it was smooth and responsive. I playing on an LG CX so all the goodies are turned on. They need to hurry up with that new Switch because this one is on life support performance wise 😵
I tried playing the demo on Switch and couldn't stand how sluggish it played. I then downloaded the demo on Steam and it was like playing a whole different game. Definitely buying/playing the Steam version when it releases, and will also be purchasing the LRG physical version for PS5. I typically choose to have physical games on Switch but it just feels like a chore to try and play at that framerate with the blurry resolution. Too bad Switch 2 isn't out yet..
@@miguelon_pelonThis game seems a bit rough technically on all platforms, though it's particularly noticeable on a low power platform like Switch, it's also using 3D graphics/lighting on a 2D plane, so it's quite a bit more technically demanding than a sprite-based 2D game.
What is up with the sound on the PS5 version? It sounds very muffled and hard to hear. Hopefully that's not my ears. I have been playing Contra since 1986, and I'm old! :P
i don't understand how this game struggles on switch when prince of persia runs perfectly fine.... it is a 2D game after all and the graphics are not the best
These choices are based on the publisher and intention of the Dev team. PoP was first developed for Switch and then updated for the other consoles, which was a huge benefit across the board(120 FPS on Xbox and PlayStation). Contra looks like Switch version wasn't prioritized at all.
@@HeroC14it really make me wondering why they not target Switch first for 3D platformer. its not like they will loss to much details for platformer.. but its up to them afterall if people avoid buying on switch.
This game is cool. However one thing is that the music is not even comparable to the original one. Why don't they just remix the original one, which would be great!
@jjlj2289 yeah, it isn't optimized on switch properly. It runs a little better if you don't use the joycons, though, which is weird. It runs better on steam, but even then, it had its own stutters on there as well
BS! Prince of Persia: the lost crown ran well and looked well on the Switch. This only a demo. It's not the final product. I just bought MK 1 after all the patches up to 11 of them and it's awesome now with steady 60fps and better textures than when it got released in September.
@@misterlexx2721 I have Lost Crown and beat it. 60 fps is why I bought but I ended feeling that visually it looked pretty rough at time at times and I'd bought it elsewhere.
@@johnpolishimpossible2say191 It looked no worse than the PS4 or Xbox one version based on the visuals I saw. However, PS5 or Xbox series X are the latest generation consoles that are stand alone so they have the luxury of getting the highest definition and graphical power. It's really a tall task for a console that is a hybrid tablet console. This is the reason why on Amazon based on the figures, the Switch version of Lost Crown, Sonic Superstars are selling like hot cakes.
@@ErickGameplaysN64 reviewers like digital foundry said it seemed like it targeted switch first and development and then ported it "up" from there. But I don't believe Ubisoft said it was officially. Still this is one game. For every game like Persia there's like 20 "grounded". Even Penny only runs at 30 fps.
Well, almost everybody. Especially old gamers that grew up playing these type of games on SNES and Genesis at 60fps. Good framerate is essencial on a fast 2d action game like this.
На СВЧ лагает и подвисает, на Пс5 играется хорошо! Но сама игра не понравилась. Просто рескин старой доброй Contra! Нет того Вау эффекта, как от C4! 😏👍🔥
Crying shame the switch version isn't good. No real reason for it. Devs are lazy. Konami isn't as good as they use to be. Literally a shell of themselves.
I only have a switch. It's not the frame rate that's an issue for me. The issue I have is the latency of jumping. When I press jump, there is some lag time before the sprite jumps. Makes a world of difference on a game like this when timing of jumps matter
I'm getting sick of these type of videos from the Nintendo cry babies. News flash the tegra X1 chip is how old? Its specs are what again? Instead of crying and bitching to game devs you should be bitching at Nintendo for charging $300 in 2024 for a mobile device with a mobile processor from 2015. This is a mobile chip that is close to 10 years old now!!! For god sakes the iPhone 6s came out the same year in 2015 and its value is no more than $130 now in 2024. 🤦♂🤦♂
It's so fun that people loves to complaining about Switch and ignoring the fact that the PS5 version ALSO has drops... despite being 100x more powerful! This just shows that it's ALWAYS up to the devs in the end.
PS5 is barely 50x more powerful than Switch. 200 GFLOPS vs 10000 GFLOPS.

After I tried demo on switch I found that it has lag input issue with only 30fps.
This is a Deal breaker for me.
I noticed that as well. It felt like there was a lot of lag for some reason on switch and the random freezes.
Same for me, l really noticed when l pull down on the stick to duck under bullets, lag is really bad on switch version, 30fps is no good for games like these.
Same. I'm now playing on Steam with 2k@60fps.
Oh come on, how can it not run at 60 on Switch?

It's not fantastic on Switch, but it's totally playable - I think people are being just a bit hyperbolic.
Yeah, too bad. I don't even know for the life of me why Nintendo doesn't release the switch 2 already?

@@TheMetacritic The gameplay is 2D, the graphics are 3D.
To me Contra died after the all mighty SNES one.
Hard Corps (and even Hard Corps Uprising), Shattered Soldier, Contra 4 and Contra Rebirth are outstanding! You should check them out!
30fps on switch is NONTRA for me
Snes contra 3's music is way more epic!
I concur but Contra 4 on the DS holds a candle to it.
Nes music is the most solid though it has only 4 waves ❤
Steve Blum voices Bill Rizer?! Whaaaaat?!?!?
Behold, the power of the Unity game engine.
This game is cool. However one thing is that the music is not even comparable to the original one. Why don't they just remix the original one, which would be great!
I wondering 4 players in switch performance? 🤔
Steam deck runs well, too, also at 60fps. The switch has a few framerate problems.
It wouldn’t be true retro contra without the lag. Cmon people 😂
Meanwhile playing this on my Legion Go with 2k resolution and 90 fps or 1080p and stable 144hz

24 fps! 😁
