Best Graphics on Nintendo Switch: The 'Impossible Ports' Third Party Collection!

In 2016, Nintendo revealed that its new Switch hardware would be powered by Nvidia's Tegra X1 - a low-power mobile part. Would the machine have the required CPU and GPU horsepower to deliver great games? We had our doubts, but both Nintendo and a range of third-party publishers and developers delivered some exceptional results. In this second retrospective on the Nintendo Switch era, John Linneman and Oliver Mackenzie shift their gaze to the many and varied 'impossible ports' we saw on the system. This video collects the best Nintendo Switch graphics, concentrating on third party games.
