10 Nintendo Switch Ports That Aren't Worth Your Money
2. WWE 2K18
Sports games on the Switch have been a mixed bag, with the likes of FIFA and NBA 2K providing reasonable efforts for a handheld equivalent of the main console experience, despite some cut backs in obvious areas. In WWE's return to a Nintendo system, WWE 2K18 should have been a worthy addition to the franchise. In actuality, it was a total disaster you're definitely better off avoiding.
From the moment you boot up the game and into your first match, the issues are quite obvious. Your chosen wrestler slowly makes his or her way down to the ring, not deliberately, as the game struggles to render just about every pixel on the screen resulting in something that looks like it's in constant slow motion.
The lag is real, your button presses at times taking a few good seconds to react on screen when there's more than two wrestlers present. It's just bad, even with a later patch, so bad in fact that there hasn't been a WWE game on Switch since.
Perhaps we should have seen this coming. The 2K series itself had been on struggle street for a while even on Xbox One and PS4, with the recent WWE 2K20 the final nail in the inevitable casket.
