Cities Skylines Nintendo Switch Edition - Is It Worth It?
Ойындар
Did you know there's a Nintendo Switch port of Cities Skylines? In this honest review I'll put the game to the test with a city of 100K inhabitants. Expect lots of gameplay footage, as well as my own experience and opinion on it. So, is it really as bad as some people claim? Enjoy the video :)

The CPU in the Switch is really ultimately its Achilles Heel (though the memory bandwidth/amount of RAM aren't doing it any favors either), particularly for games like this. It's also why so many Switch ports have unstable framerates.

The problem is that the cpu is too underclocked by Nintendo for good battery. In handheld it has 1.0 GHz and in Docked mode it goes t0 1.8 GHz without additional cooling. Because I have a modded switch this game runs great, I set it to 1.4 GHz instead of 1.0 and the game has a steady 30 fps (for my small city now at least).

I love the detail that you used SimCity 4 music, maybe you can make a video of that game later. Great review, keep on making good content, I know your channel will blow up!

the only reason it has 11K VIEWS is because of his Minecraft Legends video he got lucky with, he will never "blow up" again.
how come you only have 3k subs with this production value? your vids are legit good, hope you remember me when you hit one million because im subbing
yeah editing and pacing is really good idk why you arent more popular

And they’d pulled the wool over your eyes haven’t they, I can tell I could tell when you walked over here…
Props on the video, it is indeed amazing it runs at all on Switch. I was amazed when this got ported to Switch. I put in over 100 hours into it, owing to the convenience. It's too bad they couldn't keep patching it and adding expansions, but with Switch 2, I hope they do bring the sequel or a complete edition to that console.
Shame they didn't utilise the motion controls considering its one of the switches rare advantages over other consoles
Alright, this sold me, now I have to get this on Switch lol

Hahah happy to hear about it. Let me know how it goes!
instant thumbs up. I LOVE this, mainly because people over look switch edition of the game. But, it really isn't THAT bad. Sure, its not great, but its not bad. It feels like your playing it for the first time, pure and with less controls
Fire extinguisher got me good lmao
I bought myself a switch OLED and the game went on special on my birthday. Had the switch for about 8 months before it went on special. It's regular $50CAD and it doesn't go on special often. For $50 it's way too expensive but I was happy I picked it up cheap. Even though it's very fun the frame drop is annoying and that's a big reason it's not worth $50.

Amazing video ❤
Underrated asf
This was the first version of Cities Skylines I ever played… as you could probably guess I got it on PC less than a year later.
nice video
What computer do you recommend me to get if I wanna play cities skylines on it? A desktop or a MacBook?
Bro how does this guy have only 3k subs
I closed the game a couple of years ago and will try open it again on the Switch successor !
It actually looks pretty good, might have to grab it on sale. Your video actually convinced me its pretty alright port.
Never expected for people on KZread to use OpenTTD music hehe... it's catchy.
I cant believe this video isnt that popular. The video is great but im litteraly the 3rd one to comment and it only has 307 views!

It's a game in a niche genre, not a Minecraft video or makeup tutorial or somebody "unboxing" something so that's not surprising.

And how did you get 100,000 inhabitants? I can only reach 20,000 on Switch or 8,000 lately. I’m not dealing with the city I guess, maybe it’s due to the electrical connection or whatever. But I’d like Natural Disasters DLC at least. But I agree with you in all facts you said.

I used to have the same problem, I figured that the solution to this is just to keep your services up to date, once you have the water and electrical running smoothly, your city will naturally explode in population.

I built with lots of high density and bought tiles strategically IIRC. There's actually still some good land that hasn't been developed on yet@@eralor2007
Finally me and my PS5 can feel snobbish about someone else running Cities: Skylines.
Some games have no bussiness being on switch... but i gues its the thought that counts and well.. they are portable at least.
I think they should at least let you purchase mods, (especially the older less laggy ones) add a bit more maps and especially let you use buildings and maps outside of their designated themes for more playability
Well, i play with 4ifir and it works just gerat, i have almost 170000 citisens in my city now, and yet, it's still stable 40fps. 4ifir is just great.
My eyes....
Yknow, its still not as bad as Cities VR on meta quest. That version looks and plays like hot garbage, whereas the switch version looks okay and plays okay.

I agree that the quest version runs terribly, I wish the Vr version was on pc so I could play at smoother frame rate

Yeah Switch Version ain’t worth it you have no access to mods or DLC so you’re very limited
