Emulation's getting pretty good, although this being new and possibly pushing limits means it'll take a while to run even just stable on emulators but being a big title there's likely going to be an effort into optimizing it. Still mostly gonna look like a Switch game but usually you can get 60FPS out of the games that are otherwise dropping frames on Switch proper which is nice enough.
Alternatively can just wait for the next Nintendo platform to release a remaster.

Was a tossup for me between playing this or Ori next. So I'm kinda jumping between them. The Bayonetta series is weird and I don't think I "get it" in general, but it's fun. Looking at Bayonetta 3 in motion, the gulf between Switch graphics and what this would look like on a PS5 is humongous. Even my PS4 games look better than this.
The animations are good. But everything has that kind of washed-out, low-detail "Switch look" that I'm really not that into.

Blasphemous is on sale for $6 (!!!) on the eshop.
Looks like Ender's Lillies is sort of on sale, $18 instead of the usual $24.
Timespinner is normal price, $20.
Those are the 3 things I wanted to get next. Grabbed Blasphemous, gonna wait and see if the other two dip for Black Friday. I could buy them now easily enough but I don't want to feel dumb if they pop up for $8 or something in a few weeks. I might regret not grabbing EL if it doesn't go on sale for BF. Well, whatever. Mainly just wanted to post about the super-good Blasphemous deal.

I bought this on a whim a few days having never played a Bayonetta game - this is, easily, the ugliest, shittiest graphics game I've played in 5 years. It's horribly optimized when docked and looks like complete fucking garbage. Even if the game was great (I made it to chapter 7 or so before bailing), it's genuinely terrible to play because of the framerate, resolution and the washed out bullshit we've all come to expect from Switch.
I was playing this (and Xenoblade 3 this summer) thinking, man, imagine how cool these games could look if they were powered by something even slightly more powerful than my fucking IPHONE. I wish this system and Nintendo in general would DIAFF

I completely agree. Feels like I'm playing a PS3 game when I fire up one of these washed-out Switch games.
Bayonetta 3 is doing nothing for me overall but it's fairly short and something to do on a train ride that doesn't require any real thinking.
I like the Switch as a concept (the portable nature and all) but I'd give that up to have PS5-level visuals in Nintendo exclusives. Make a real system, Nintendo. A Switch Pro or whatever. Something that's stronger than a Wii U in docked mode and stronger than a PS3 in portable mode.

Yeah it wasn't that bad when it was released, but we've made some big strides graphically since then. The concept is great but the system itself is just unpleasant currently (especially bad when popping off my pc which is 4k 144hz).

I've been playing that Mario+Rabbids: Kingdom Battle lately and its pretty addictive.
It plays like a Final Fantasy Tactics Lite, but has some cool ideas you don't see elsewhere.
The game is a few years old and a sequel came out last month, but its down to 20 bucks in some places currently.

I disagree. I thought it was pretty shitty when it released too.
