Many are confused as to why it's launching on the console at all, given that other modern Switch ports often come months after a PlayStation and Xbox debut.

While no one expects MK1 on Switch to run just as well as the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game, some are more optimistic that the port will at least be better than
