they do if it becomes the main focus. take a game like the order 1886, we all know it looks beautiful but at the expense of limited gameplay and being way too linear in order to produce such high graphics on the hardware. the budget needed for those graphics also probably explains why the game is short too

If better graphics are bad then we should still be stuck to dot matrix or 8-bit graphics.

Thats only true in a vacuum.

PC will keep pushing game advancement, together with Sony and Microsoft (even if some people would consider even the new Pro and Scorpio underpowered). I think we can afford one console manufacturer (Nintendo) not pushing graphics like the others are trying to do. It's not like Nintendo games look "bad" anyways, it's all about artistic style over raw power when it comes to Nintendo games. Just look at Breath of the Wild, sure it's not as impressive as Witcher 3, but it has a great artistic style and look good in it's own right.

PS4,Xone,Pro,Scorpio,95% of PCs that don't have the latest hardware top of the line. Stop hindering advancement.

Not true at all considering some of the fantastic games on Wii,Wiiu and next Switch. If anything the PS4 and Xbox one are holding the PC back, Nintendo isn't in the power race.

Look, I'm not gonna lie, I would rather have a box from Nintendo that plays regular games with a regular controller and with some fantastic graphics. I just don't see it happening, and I have finally released my mindlock that Nintendo will make another Gamecube like console. That would only set me up for dissapointment.

So I will never just own a Nintendo console, I will always be dependent on Sony (or Microsoft) to deliver that premium experience. However, I loved Nintendo in the past and I think it would be foolish of me to let graphics come in the way of their entertaining games. Thats how I feel. I have ignored Nintendo during the last two generations, and I would not have that changed in retrospect. Wii and WiiU did not appeal to me. Nintendo Switch on the other hand got rid of the double screen, it has a Pro controller out the gate that will be supported and it will finally get Nintendo's full focus as it combines both their handheld and stationary line. I want to play Nintendo games again, subpar graphics will not stop me.

Right on the money. Some developers are obsessed. And there are a lot of gamers who seem to be obsessed with graphics over gameplay.

That's ridiculous, lol. I'm waiting for the guy that says its too cpu-intensive for the Switch 2. This game is old af and has been released like 17 times.
