[QUOTE="Admin, post: 60661, member: 1"] Mortal Kombat 1 is out in the wild following its early access release, and so fans finally have a chance to check out the visuals of the Nintendo Switch version. Unfortunately, early impressions are negative, so much so that NetherRealm’s fighting game is already approaching meme status. The Nintendo Switch version of Mortal Kombat 1 was always going to look worse than the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S versions, given the power available from the hardware. But fans were shocked to discover the extend of the downgrade. It’s clear to see the character models are generally low quality here, but the internet is having its fun with the characters’ eyes, which on Nintendo Switch appear to pop out of eye-sockets — and not in a gory, Fatality kind of way, either. The jokes and memes are in full swing. Even Joey from Friends looks shocked at the Nintendo Switch version. As Digital Foundry's John Linneman explained in a post on [URL='https://twitter.com/dark1x/status/1703683032975024546']Twitter[/URL], the eyes on Nintendo Switch "seem to be static and mostly unlit. So even in a dark scene, they're blazing bright and staring straight ahead. It looks hilarious but seems fixable and I'm confused that it shipped this way". Mortal Kombat 1 is a different port situation than that of its predecessor, 2019’s Mortal Kombat 11. That game launched on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC as well as Nintendo Switch, with [URL='https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2019-mortal-kombat-11-tech-analysis']the Switch version considered an impressive port[/URL]. Mortal Kombat 1, however, left the last-generation behind in favour of the PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC, which made the existence of the Nintendo Switch version all the more surprising. Exacerbating the issue is the fact Mortal Kombat 1 on Nintendo Switch is full price ($69.99 from the eShop), which means it costs the same as the PS5 and Xbox Series X and S versions. This has sparked a number of complaints from Switch owners, who feel their version of the game should cost less. IGN has asked Warner Bros. for comment. Some are now bringing up the heavily-rumoured next-gen Nintendo console, and are hoping Warner Bros. ports Mortal Kombat 1 to that more powerful console. [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/mortal-kombat-1-review'][U]IGN’s Mortal Kombat 1 review[/U][/URL] of the PS5 version returned an 8/10. We said: “The bone-crunching gameplay of Mortal Kombat 1 is some of the best the series has ever seen, thanks to the game-changing Kameo system.
