Mortal Kombat 1’s Switch port is getting eviscerated by players

polygon.com:

Mortal Kombat 1 officially launches Tuesday, but fighting game fans who paid for the premium edition of the game have been playing it in early access since Sept. 14. Players who opted for the Nintendo Switch version of Mortal Kombat 1 have reported very visible technical issues with the game, including inconsistent frame rates, long loading times, and expressionless faces.

While Switch owners with a thirst for Mortal Kombat’s style of violence were likely expecting a graphically inferior port of the game, a la Mortal Kombat 11, they’re paying the same price ($69.99 for the base version, $109.99 for the premium version) for the Mortal Kombat 1 experience on Switch. Worse, Switch owners won’t have immediate access to the full version of Invasions mode for “a matter of weeks,” publisher Warner Bros. Games warned on its support website.

“To ensure the best possible experience for Switch players at launch, only the introduction for Invasions will be available,” the publishers said. “The full breadth of Invasions Season 1 content will be available on Switch in a matter of weeks. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause Switch players and are working to make this update as quickly as possible.”

Mortal Kombat 1 for Switch was co-developed by Shiver Entertainment and Saber Interactive, and the developers appear to have worked some magic to bring NetherRealm Studios’ work to Nintendo’s handheld console. MK1’s full roster of fighters, Kameo Fighters, and Fatalities are present in the Switch version. But there are serious graphical downgrades, most notably in the blank, bug-eyed faces of the cast.
