IGN Mortal Kombat 1 For Switch Review: 3/10
Mortal Kombat 1 proves to be too much for the Switch's dated hardware. The load times are egregious, there are numerous bugs plaguing both graphics and gameplay, making for a poor quality port of a great game that's all around aggravating to play.
It’s ugly and load times last around 40 seconds.
EDIT: Le boss annonce qu’ils corrigeront les problèmes via update. J’y crois pas une seconde, mais ça été dit.
Wow, that's bad.
I could live with ugly, but long loading times and worst of all bad performance is not that great for a fighting game.
40 second load times are pretty dreadful in a genre that by design has a lot of them.
It's dreadful period. But yes, especially here.
The switch is outdated and should only be used for Nintendo games
What do you think will happen if your try to play a modern and graphically intensive game on a handheld that was outdated when it was released
Can't believe people expected MK1 to play well on the switch
I actually wonder what's worse? Releasing a game knowing it'll flop or not releasing it at all?
Because I'm pretty sure Cyberpunk on PS4, while crazy inferior and got horrible performance reviews, still made a hella lot of money and didnt affect the other platform's or it's reviews.

they reset the mk universe, >!Liu Kang becomes a God in mk11 and creates a new universe with all the characters we are familiar with (I am oversimplfying it).!< this game serves as a reboot to the franchise (again).
Ouch...
Should have canceled it and waited for successor next year…like what Avalanche is doing with hogwarts legacy
Damn, at least they should have delayed this game for optimizations and such.
I guess they want to make money quickly
Why would anyone buy a switch when steam deck exists.
Edit: what I got from the comments
- a lot of butt hurt switch owners lmao
- a lot of people telling me about people who have bought switch before SD came out like that somehow answers my question
- switch is cheaper
That’s such a good question, maybe everyone is dumb, isn’t it?
As a serious answer: Not the same price, not the same games.
Steam Deck is awesome thought.
I agree about the Nintendo exclusive games, but the price is about the same. 320 US dollars gets you a refurbished 64 GB steam deck, which is basically the same price as the standard Switch and even cheaper than the OLED model. Not to mention all the great sales and cheap keys you can get
Edit: I do own both, I've had a switch since launch day, so I recognize the power that the first party exclusives have. I certainly don't hate on the switch by any means
I don't know, ask the orders of magnitude more people that have a Switch because it's:
- Cheaper
- More portable
- Easier to run games on for the average user
- Has Nintendo games
- Lasts longer on battery
- Already own a switch because its been out for much longer than the steam deck
I obviously did lmao
Thr thing that is 3 times as expensive and not available in my country? Yeah man i don't know, idiots probably
Around 100 million Switches were sold before the Deck even released, so I'm not entirely sure about your question, let alone the exclusive IPs not available on the Deck at all

Well for one, you can hold a deck, but I understand this is facetious. I'd argue most people who would get a switch over a deck "just want it to work". Which is fair. Anyone with some tech skills though would understand a deck can be a switch with the right tools.
Realistically. In Australia last time I checked I could buy a switch, throw it in the bin, buy another one and throw it in the bin and then buy a 3rd one and 4 games before it added up to what retailers were asking for steam decks here.
Because it plays games and fits their budget.
We have both. Kids play on the Switch, parents play on the Deck. Also, Switch is a great, hassle free, family friendly, small & light, cheap and versatile gaming console. Deck is awesome and let's not forget Windows free, it's a god send (thank you Valve). I think they are both great, and while there's overlap of course, they also aim at different markets.
People don't necessarily need that kind of RRRRAW POWERRRR when playing video games, especially on the go. You're asking people to carry around a chainsaw when a pen knife will do the job.
I still go back to older consoles/handhelds because of some of their libraries, and, judging from releases, publishers do, too
high fidelity doesn't equal pretty graphics; it's just a chosen art style. the problem surrounding all this MK switch stuff is they had to compromise on their art style, and make it much much less cohesive with the original intent, to get it to run on the system. An MK designed with the switch as a high priority would be a very different-looking game
given that, 3/10 is still a meme score meant to drive traffic to their site
Ya lol
If you want to play MK1 idk why you're gonna try playing on the switch
Cause they don't want to save up for one and just want the cheaper inferior option. You can't cheap out on tech
