My friend from Mexico was able to buy it for $24 pesos on Switch, which is like $1.2 USD. Ardently the store glitched and gave it away for the wrong price, it's $24.99 in the U.S.

It’s poorly optimized* Repeatedly saying it’s “not good” and “embarrassing” is condescending to the developers that put in hard work to port this game to a new platform to begin with. we all know it’s gonna get patched eventually and publishers often push release on games before devs are finished with them.
still bought it. it's going to be fixed eventually. it's gonna stay in my backlog until it gets fixed. i have Xenoblade 3, Nier, and Persona 5 R anyway to pass the time
Why not wait till it's fixed THEN buy it? I don't understand making a purchase and not playing it at all. Who knows if this is gonna fixed anyway. They should've ported the 360 version, not the remaster.
Mortal Kombat 11 on switch is sitting in the corner, fatalities lagging everywhere, fatal blows dipping a lot of the time, muddy textures, super low pixelated resolution, and highly compressed audio, and let's not forget to mention the Krypt... It's amazing the things we choose to complain about. I mean, I can't ever perform Noob Saibot's fatalities without the audio coming first and then the visuals following up 3 seconds later. Yet we're going to complain because a game gets some minor frame dips and defend Mortal Kombat 11 till the death. Honestly this game looks fine FOR A SWITCH PORT.
@@Benjamillion nah, I've been doing it for a year almost now and it doesn't had any effect in my 5ve year old switch, my question was mostly if the game was CPU or GPU limited so an overclock could help, but if it's something that has to do with ram speeds for example then the game is doomed until patched
The switch is just not the hardware for anything past 360 unfortunately. Still a lot of options for a mobile game platform, but still has a relatively hardware capability ceiling when compared to other current gen consoles. It's hard to compare directly especially against the ps5, from price to audience, but regardless developers should be aware of what they're presenting
Yeah, switch gets an amazing nier automata port, and a good no man’s sky port. But the moment a bad port comes, it’s the hardware’s fault lol. The switch is by no means the strongest hardware, but it can definitely do better than this, this port is just lazy
It's about what I expected the Switch version to be. They should have just ported the Xbox 360 version over instead of down grading the remastered version.
Developers need to stop downgrading remasters for PS5/Series X for the switch and instead release a remaster of the Xbox 360/PS3 verision for the Switch...if that makes sense.
WTH? why not just port the original from the xbox360? why insist on a poor quality port of the remastered when the original seems fine and even great? this is so f*****ed up
Bad port? Unthinkable. Bad port on the Switch? Now you are just talking madness. I mean lol, Atelier Arland and Dusk DX run like trash yet Ryza looks and runs great despite the generation gap. Porting is just shoddy like that for some reason, especially from the 360/PS3 era.
So let me get this, this company releases a half ass game on a cart & then we have to "DOWNLOAD" the rest of the "GAME" to make it look & run a little better lol. I'm seeing how they played ppl thinking its everything on the cart but you really need to download more just to make it better so it's still a part of those other games where half the game is on a cart & the rest is downloaded. Yeah I'm not wasting my money.
Man dont be sow dramatic they did there best lets just hope for a patch to fix this mess lets hope they make it in time for halloween that will be great for those hou all ready have the switch version from the eshop.
In theory a good port of the 360 versión can run very well on switch, games like Borderlands, Alien Isolation, Skyrim or Bioshock looks and run much better than his 360 / ps3 counterparts, this is just a cashgrab port
Bad ports happen on all platforms. Even PC has plethora of them. I just usually skip them or play them on more powerful machines long after the initial release on PC.
