Yesterday, Mortal Kombat 1 was officially released to the public, and those who are playing on PlayStation and Xbox consoles are having an amazing time. However, those who are playing on a Nintendo Switch are having a bit of a rougher time, as there have been numerous complaints made by gamers who have played Mortal Kombat 1 on the Nintendo Switch due to its poor graphics and performance quality.
Why Has Mortal Kombat 1 Had These Issues on Nintendo Switch?
Since the Nintendo Switch’s release, there have been many gamers who have enjoyed the Switch and all of the Nintendo-exclusive games that are released on that console. Still, the main reason many gamers don’t rely on the Switch is that it doesn’t have the Hardware that other consoles have, which causes it to be less powerful and limits many games that can be played on it.
Due to these limitations, those who have played Mortal Kombat 1 have already begun to report a significant amount of visual and performance bugs which ruin the player’s experience as they have paid full price ($70) to play Mortal Kombat 1. Still, it doesn’t hold up to other consoles and has caused many players to understandably get upset about paying such a high price for a poor-quality game.

That being said, it isn’t all down to NetherRealm Studios for these issues as Mortal Kombat 1 has been ported to the Nintendo Switch by Shiver Entertainment and Saber Interactive, but since Mortal Kombat 1 has been developed by NetherRealms Studios, their Chief Developer Ed Boon has stated that they will be working on the game to bring its standards up regarding any issues that they see so that players can enjoy their Mortal Kombat 1 experience on any current Gen consoles.
How Has This Impacted The Fans Of The Mortal Kombat Franchise?
Since Mortal Kombat has been going on for many years, it is safe to say that these issues regarding the Nintendo Switch version of Mortal Kombat 1 may be relatively large issues. Still, there are issues that NetherRealms Studios will take seriously and fix urgently so their faithful players can enjoy their experience with this fresh release.
At the moment, there is no information detailing how long it will take for NetherRealm Studios to fix the issues that are taking place on the Nintendo Switch. Still, they do understand how much of an impact it is making to players, as Ed Boon has stated,
“It would have been ideal for us to have released the version that we absolutely wanted. But anything that we’re finding a problem with is on our list and is going to be fixed.“
This shows that they will be working on an update to the game and hopefully soon.
