I played the demo of KH3 which was... not the worst thing ever, but no acceptable substitute for a native version. I can't imagine how bad it gets later on during the higher-fidelity areas.Apparently the Kingdom Hearts cloud ports are a shitshow. What a surprise. The only good cloud port I've seen was Control, so Remedy must be wizards or something.
It's hilarious how Hello Games (No Mans Sky) and Techland (Dying Light) both ported super intense last gen games to the Switch, but Square Enix can't port two gen old games without having trouble.
Fair. Didn't know this.Because that's not how these production orders work.
The Switches they're manufacturing now are part of contracts from a number of different suppliers that were probably inked back in 2018 or 2019. The manufacturers and suppliers need to do their best to keep their end of those contracts, or else they'll pay a penalty.
For a new 4k Switch they will have completely different contracts, also signed years ago, some with the same suppliers and some with different suppliers. Those suppliers again will have to do their best to meet the terms of the contract, or else pay a penalty.
One contract doesn't necessarily affect the other, especially if the contract for the SoC has gone to Samsung as rumored, and not TSMC. The amount of Switches they are now producing isn't necessarily indicative of how many new 4k Switches they could produce.
That's not to say it'll definitely happen, but the chip shortage isn't really a reason for it not to happen.
I imagine those contracts have been revisited in that time though. Unless they're just making as much as they can of them when they can and they'll wait to launch when they have like 20 million to ship.
