In terms of graphics, Nintendo’s consoles haven’t exactly been known to sport the most realistic graphics, but that could change moving forwards. This is thanks to the fact that the Nintendo Switch and Epic’s Unreal Engine 4 are now fully compatible with each other, meaning that we can look forward to games using the engine in the future.
Note that this will be dependent on developers choosing to use Unreal Engine 4 for their games, and if they don’t then there’s really nothing that Nintendo can do about it. However should developers choose to use it, they can rest easy knowing that it will be compatible with the Switch, and on the gamers side they can look forward to games with better graphics in the future.
For developers looking to take advantage of this, you’ll have to sign up to be a developer on Nintendo’s website and also complete the request form on Epic’s website. After which you should receive further instructions on what to do. So far Nintendo’s Switch console has been very well received and has sold way more units that the Wii U did at launch.
The console was also found to be the best-selling console in the US for two months in a row, a feat which we’re wondering if they could maintain for the third month and beyond.
