Nintendo showed off the first footage of Rime on Switch last week during a special indies episode of Nyannyan Neko Mario Time. Using gameplay from that video as well as a trailer from January, one fan put together a few rough comparisons for the Switch and PS4 editions.
Fanatical just launched a new bundle that supports Safe in Our World. All of the proceeds go to charity to support mental health awareness.

The Nintendo Switch gets bombarded with many, many ports. But most of them actually run pretty well, with only a couple that we would call bad Switch ports.
While I agree with the majority on this list Bloodstained is far from a bad port. Sure it doesn't run as fast as the other more powerful machines and has some sacrifices made to the graphics to keep the game running smooth. But some of the errors that are being mentioned can be patched and addressed. The game is still fun to play, it's not like it's broken or anything.
Ark should have never been released the way it is on the Switch. The game is so so bad.
It's purely down to the incompetence of the Devs. Just go and look at how more demanding games have successfully been ported to Switch and then you have proof that these are just poorly done.

Bit of luck then that the latest Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale is kicking into play, with bargains galore hitting the Xbox Store to ensure Xbox 360 and Xbox One titles can be had on cut-price terms. But what games are being slashed in price between the 2nd-8th July 2019?"
Ok...why does the PS4 version look washed out compared to the Switch?
Looks like the capture the ps4 version on the highest brightness setting.
This is a really poor comparison and shouldn't even be used.
The screens from the "PS4" version are really just from the re-reveal trailer, which was likely a build that six months old: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
The screens from the Switch version is from the Nintendo Japan Indies showcase video thing, which is only a couple weeks old: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
A lot of small improvements can be made visually in six months. Also the difference in colors could be from something as simple as different times a day.
The Switch version looks rough color wise, the grass is super dark to where you can hardly tell where the shadows are, dark color areas even though they should be a dark green look almost black and shadows are way dark. PS4 version on the other hand is too bright.
Switch looks significantly better.
