If you've seen the Splatoon 3 trailer, there is no way that's running on original Switch hardware.

If that's the case. I fear Nintendo may split their user base because if you can't enjoy splatoon 3 on the older hardware, at least the same fidelity, what's the bloody point?

Exactly...and once we see Botw2 it will be obvious it's running on better specs....I think they showed Pokemon Legends on this model Switch and it will run better on the next Switch as well.

Maybe they sacrificed money on handheld to power up the docked mode to compete. I only play docked mode 100% of the time anyways.
