10 Mistakes That Led To WWE 2K's Downfall

6. 2K18 On Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch is an excellent console that successfully marries couch play with on-the-go, and it's a must for anyone who needs to inject their gaming life with a sense of fun again. Meanwhile, WWE 2K18 on Switch was a miserable failure that occasionally dipped to frame rates most early-2000s mobile games would be ashamed of.

Yep, it was awful.

2K28 was the first WWE game to see release on a Nintendo platform since WWE '13 on Wii, and it'll probably be the last for a while unless Battlegrounds is coming to Switch. If it does, then it might be some sort of necessary healing tool for anyone who was burned into buying this dodgy port that should've had alarm bells ringing about 2K's stewardship of the series.

All those ads that showed cover boy Seth Rollins cheerily playing some WWE on Switch amounted to little more than false hope. The only 'on-the-go' experience 2K18 deserved was the game card being launched out of the bus window.
