What the hell? That's a game published and developed by Nintendo for a platform created by Nintendo. There literally can't be anything more fair. Witcher 3 runs better on Switch than a 1st party game.

TOTK is not only 1st party game, it's also made for Switch only, so even your weird argument doesn't hold.

Seriously, stop fanboying so much, this is ridiculous.

The wii u in some ways was more powerful than the switch is what I was saying. And because BOTW was initially a Wii U game (the switch game being a port) and it was intended to push the wii u to the absolute limits at the time. TOTK is just using the exact same engine as BOTW, even though TOTK is a game solely designed for the Switch, it's still using a lot of code that was initially intended for the Wii U.

BOTW and TOTK are more comparable to the third party games being pared down to fit on such a small device after being made for much more powerful hardware initially, like the Witcher 3 and whatnot.

And even though Witcher 3 does run really well. Still looks like it's covered in vaseline compared to its other console versions.
