The Nintendo Switch version of Mortal Kombat 1 became the subject of ridicule on social media

Mortal Kombat 1 finally released on September 14, after a long and exciting marketing process. While the console and PC ports of the game met high expectations, the Nintendo Switch port was a complete circus, so to speak. Let’s take a look at the details together.

The graphics of the Mortal Kombat 1 Nintendo Switch port compete with the PlayStation 2 (!) and yet the same price is demanded

Mortal Kombat 1 was released in early access for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S last week. Since then, several users have taken to social media to post piles of videos and screenshots showing the awfulness of the Switch version of the game.

“I’m crying over the Switch version of Mortal Kombat 1. Why didn’t they just wait for the next generation Switch console? “The fact that they want to charge $70 is a complete rip-off.”

In fact, the version available on Nintendo’s hybrid console has been widely criticized, with many questioning how the developer can charge the same price on the Switch as on other platforms.

Fans took to sites like X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok to question NetherRealm’s decision to market Mortal Kombat 1 as a $70 Switch version. This situation was described as “robbery” and “disrespect” towards users.

In addition to graphical problems, some players also encountered ridiculous errors in the game, as you can see above.

Although Mortal Kombat 1 works great on PS5, PC, and Xbox versions, the developer’s approach to the Switch version has made Switch users who are fans of the series very angry.
