Unsurprisingly, since it seems like it was made for hardware more powerful than the Switch is:
https://old.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/16lmkg6/warning_mortal_kombat_1_is_nearly_unplayable_on/

Probably only exists because the suits in charge saw the massive install base of the Switch and saw $$$ before anything else.

I've been playing the Switch version. It's not great and has a lot of issues, but "nearly unplayable" is a stretch.

So why am I hearing from everywhere that it runs better than MK11 did on Switch?

I've heard the game itself plays fine (for the most part), but the big deal is the graphical fidelity downgrade goes to meme levels of rough.

I mainly play on PS5 but own the Switch version for portability and its a visual downgrade (looks better in handheld) but is overall fine. Most of these screenshots are cherry picked from a leaked version before the 30GB day 1 patch.

We all know it's rough graphically, but you were playing it on the Switch for the portability anyways.

why even bother anymore.

NR should've took the creative approach and just mod MK3 with all the new characters (obv for the Switch port).

Yeah, there is. It's definitely one you want to play in handheld -- the graphics look slightly better on a smaller screen, and the load times *might* be a little improved, but that might just be my brain fooling itself.

Sometimes. During a fight they don't move, but during post-fight outros in story mode before it switches back to the pre-rendered cutscenes, they do.

I like how they made sure not to take a screenshot on the same frame (look at the sunglasses). Now why would somebody make such a dishonest comparison photo like that? (not pointed at you HudGard).

It would be amazing if they patched the PS5 version with a new form of fatality, switchiality, where it just swaps the character models out for their switch counterparts and they just walk off the screen dejected.

Wasnt meant to be a criticism, its just a fact. Nintendo makes great games that run great on their system but the technology is behind other systems so 3rd party releases can struggle.

Nintendo prints money so its not a problem for them.

Should be said that the GameCube was more powerful than the PS2 (you just couldn't watch movies on it).
Still lost out.

Buying anything but exclusives on a Switch is a fools errand. If you want portability, get a refurbished Steam Deck and out a bigger SSD in it.

Looks like instead of bothering to optimize for what the platform can actually do, the settings were merely tweaked to tell the renderer to stop at the placeholder or ("far") textures.
