Taki Udon demonstrates a Switch emulating a Switchrunning Minecraft with better performance than Minecraft just running on Switch stock firmware.
Yup. That was the one. Quite sad, but possibly the native system throttles to improve battery.
I'm sure Nintendo intentionally throttles the Switch to improve battery life, preserve the integrity of the hardware, and provide a consistent experience. Not to defend their decision at all. I just think it's funny how people tend to react to learning about how much the Switch is artificially held back, as if Nintendo is just being stupid about the potential of their own console. I think it's very likely they did plenty of testing and concluded that the specs they targeted provided the best balance of positive overall user experience with the least amount of complications for developers. And it clearly worked because it's one of the best selling consoles ever with a massive catalogue of titles. The small handful of power users who want a Switch 4K Pro are just destined to buy a Steam Deck anyway. Nintendo doesn't want anything to do with that niche group of gamers lol.
