I've played BotW on Switch 1 and the Switch 2 upgraded edition. While some scenes are a bit choppy on Switch 1 it's never in the way of gameplay and even on Switch 1 one of the best video games of the last decade.

Of course Switch 2 is faster and the better console (it should be), but if you're focussing on raw performance you're in the wrong crowd.

Even on PS5 you have load times and performance tradeoffs. There will be a time when we're wondering how we put up with the 'impossibly slow' current generation of consoles like we're doing with the 8-bits machines now.

I read it as "I enjoy the Switch 1 games, but I want to enjoy them even more with faster load times and better frame rates"

BOTW had issues with framerate (30fps was the baseline which isn't good to start with), and often dropped to below that in open world scenarios. TOTK has major performance issues on the Switch 1 though IME.

Yeah, and still it's quite an enjoyable experience. I didn't lose a single fight because the rendering couldn't keep up.

I don't subscribe to the opinion games have to run a stable 60fps to be enjoyable.
