As rough as this version can be I'm still glad it's out, is it is one more option to play the game, and the ONLY portable option to do so. Great review!
Not the only portable, tje steam deck is a good version too, but this work in swich is a good version even with the down grade still be a enjoyble version
I’m enjoying the game on Switch overall, but there are problems that need fixing. Lots of frame data is either missing or incorrect, some visual bugs like Shao’s hammer not staying on the ground are problematic for gameplay, screen tearing is common and distracting, no move pin feature makes learning characters unnecessarily harder, several combo trials are missing and some don’t work properly (even the demo of Kenshi’s 6th trial drops). I hope these problems get addressed in patches over time.
That's not all the problems, but definitely some show stoppers. I get periodic graphic glitches, multiplayer was a disaster and a slideshow, invasions mode is locked to the tutorial and after a while it seems that textures stop loading. I feel very upset that I paid 100 plus dollars for this game.
I appreciate your review. I have been watching a lot of reviews and they are ripping this version to shreds but I believe they are doing that because they are comparing it to the alternative platforms. I like your approach at making sure that we appreciate the reality of what the switch hardware looks like for such a demanding game. Thank you so much. I believe I will pick up a copy now after watching your review I was really on the fence about just skipping it in general but switch is the only platform that I have that I could purchase this for.
it's a shame it's not very good on the switch; I'm not discouraged from getting the game on another platform but the effort we see here is at best several patches behind where it should be to be to be considered optimized-- it also looks like it was just set to some automatic quality reducing setting rather than actually carefully designed with the switch in mind. it is a shame because I like the idea of bringing the game over to a friend's place with ease. good and fair review though
As someone who never play next gen console, heck even ps4 coz i only have switch. This visual is better than MK 11. I just sad that it cost too much Im waiting fo discount atleast 20$ 😂
Dont really understand why people are even comparing the graphics of switch to ps5/xbox lmao, they should be glad that its even coming on switch of all platforms
Game on switch is great! Yes very choppy and slow loading, but that's expected. At least it's not like Doon Eternal being choppy in fast pace demon hell.. so i can deal with the slowness and choppyness for the portability. My biggest complaint is I bought the premium version for the JCVD skin primarily , but I cannot get it to stick.. I select it in kustomizations but back in the game it's not applying. And the other characters in the packet are not available, I guess they will come later. Shang Tsune is available. So Kinda crapped out the reason for the premium edition doesn't seem to work in game play. Any suggestions how to get this to work
The gore actually has been toned down this time. The fatalities in previous versions were getting so long and ridiculous that it was almost boring. Pull off a head then split it in 4 pieces then squish each piece into giblets.....so stupid! They were dead after the initial decapitation, so everything else was just extra nonsense for show! But here in MK1, the fatalities are quick and too the point....but awesome!
Honestly nintendo needs to call it quits with the switch. If your hardware is going to be this dated the least you can do is introduce new IPs and revolutionize old ones. But it seems if you aren't Mario or Zelda you don't matter. So the Switch is basically a Zelda machine and gets horrible ports or just gets nothing.
Smash Bros Ultimate had more characters on screen and it doesn't had this many issues or slowdown and that was a 5 year old game. Not sure if MK1 is just lazy programming or inexperience devs.
Nintendo first party games are always going to run great on the Switch because they are made for the Switch. This game was made for PS5 and Xbox series, so there's that
Keep simping for this gba, Chris. They're charging people for a next-gen port without the next-gen. Manage your expectations??? What? Lol 😆. Reminds me of the SNL skit "Lowered Expectations "
They are charging people for a new game. It's not the first time multiple versions of the same game are released on multiple systems of different specs. You don't want to pay for this particular version of this game you can buy it on a different system then or don't buy it entirely at all. So yeah it's all about managing your own expectations in the end.
Tone down the gore?!?! It wouldn't be Mortal Kombat then! The Kameo system is part of the base game of MK1!!! Do you not understand?!?! Your review is sub par and receives a fail.....
Can we all just be honest these graphics are horrendous looks like a ps2 game. I think i had a ps2 (tekken tag tournament) that might have looked better than this especially during the cut scene
Bro.... r u serious? This game is pure 💩. This is why we get bare minimum games because we don’t call out lazy bs games like this. It’s the same game as mk11just with a cameo system. This game is garbage
He said turn down the gore. Thats literally one of it's top selling points!
Right! Like what? That’s literally mortal kombat lol

Bro I have it on steamdeck and the asus rog ally's also a thing. Have u not been in the gaming loop? 😂
Amen!!!
Hopefully they fix the bugs for the Switch version of mk1
The kameo fps is not a bug. FPS is locked to 30 on Kameo entrances.
Very impresive this on switch even with the obviously downgrade, i will defenetly buy it
It's MK1 on the go... people are just being ridiculous with the hate.
Not really they are charging $70 for this! It's best to just get the steamdeck version if you want to play it portable
@@Ang417i don’t have a steam deck nor do I have $400 to dish out for a steam deck lmao
@hashbrown6974 better than the switch version by a long shot
It's 70$.
@@Homer_Noobson $70 for a barely functioning game

Same bro and i experience slow motion fights online and sometimes it zoom in and zoom out lol and just now the game is crashing on online

good and fair review though
I'm just excited to play I've been anticipating this game for months
This is a hard buy for fans out there. I believe they could have delayed the release and be the launch game for the nintendo switch 2.
Or could have lowered the price.

well if we can't expect to have the same details and graphics and framerate as ps5 and xbox, why charge the same price?
Nice review, thought you covered it well. I personally like them outdoing the gore each time, the more the better lmao

Wait wait @ 3:21 Mileena just robbed her teeth with the dagger😂😂
Good honest review 👍 keep up the good work
4:38 tone down the gore ? It’s mortal kombat 💀
⚠️ The patch updates will make the game look and play a lot better. I agree 💯 $70 is to much though.
Is there day 1 patch already?
Sad, the other platforms it looks an runs pretty good.
How about cyrax fatality?

Cool how old are u from calfriona
Better version is the steam deck one for portability.
Smash Bros Ultimate had more characters on screen and it doesn't had this many issues or slowdown and that was a 5 year old game. Not sure if MK1 is just lazy programming or inexperience devs.
I mean smash is a Nintendo game exclusive so ofc it’ll run its best on there console

Well at least you get to play it on the go 😂 thats why it $70
It shouldn't be on Switch to begin with. They should at least put it on PS4 and Xbox One.
I've said the same thing 100x it would have worked with the ps4 and Xbox one
Everyone is high af on the Switch version lol
Imagine the ps4 being too weak to play MK1 but switch is strong enough LMAO
Tone down the gore?!?! It wouldn't be Mortal Kombat then! The Kameo system is part of the base game of MK1!!! Do you not understand?!?!
Your review is sub par and receives a fail.....
I have to pay 90$ y’all lucky in us
All 3d models and animations in this game are ugly, no mattter the console, the previous one looks a lot better,
It looks awful I’m returning it back to the store.
Still better than Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe.

A solid 0/10 game. The switch is simply garbage now:
A solid 0/10 User comment. The User has always been garbage.
Still better than Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe.
I skipped this version because it makes me want to get an Xbox Series S to play this game.
@@FutureMiles93 why not get the best version, the PS5 version.
Nintendo fanboy/biased review....
04:35 if you seek political correct/toned down fatalities, maybe you should play another game. Mortal Kombat was and is gory.
Bruh they look like plastic dolls on switch 😭😭😭
Still better than Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe.
