The Nintendo Switch has had an incredibly successful run so far. Its ability to shift from docked to mobile, the touchscreen, and detachable JoyCons with motion sensors have all contributed to its popularity. The 2017 console was never a particularly powerful graphics generator, however, and its hardware limitations seem to be starting to catch up with it, especially when compared to the modern offerings from Sony and Microsoft. Many of the biggest complaints about the Switch are related to its relatively low image quality and frame rates compared to other modern devices. Part of the reason fans were so underwhelmed by the Switch OLED is because there were no notable performance upgrades. Of course, Nintendo has its reasons for not wanting to create the Switch Pro fans have been asking for, but the lack of performance does create a problem as the hardware continues to age.
For “Breath of the Wild 2,” it means that, graphically, the game is unlikely to be able to advance very far beyond its predecessor. This is probably why the graphics in the trailers look virtually identical to those that were on offer when the first “Breath of the Wild” was released years ago.
