No Anti aliasing for Nintendo switch games?

[Weedl]

I wanna buy a Nintendo switch but i was informed that alot of games have no AA whatsoever, considering ive only used a PC for the last few years idk how ugly it is. Can someone tell me if there are alot of jagged edges and flickering?

Depends on the game.

I mostly played Smash Bros., which looks totally fine in 99% of the scenarios. I only really notice the lack of AA in dark on light contrast scenarios.

 

No flickering on my end, but I have not played all the games.

Currently playing animal crossing and it looks fine. There's definitely some spots that aren't AA'd as well but it's not taking me out of the game or anything.

It very much depends on how the developer handles the game's rendering. Most Nintendo games don't run with anti-aliasing, but I seriously can attest to most Nintendo games looking just fine with no AA whatsoever. It won't look nearly as bad as you expect, promise.

As has been said, it depends on the game and the developer, From what I heard, games tend to look pretty crisp on such a small screen anyway. It's only once you play on the big screen that it becomes more noticeable.

But look at it this way, you can't get the exclusives anywhere else so what else are you going to do? Might as well just enjoy what you get. Graphics aren't everything. That said, I wouldn't play any game that is available on current gen consoles or PC. The Switch is just going to be an inferior experience, generally speaking. A lot of the PS3 and 360 ports look better though but then again, you don't get achievements and Nintendo's MP sucks so I would probably still skip them.

 

But frankly, there are so many great exclusives on the Switch that it is worth getting just for those alone.

I play my switch on a 65 inch high-def TV and don’t notice it at all. Most games that I play aren’t designed to look very realistic anyway, so the blockiness (is that even a word) isn’t very noticeable to me. I’ve never seen it flicker.

I've never seen flicker.   I play my Switch portably and docked all the time.  In portable mode... it's a 720p screen, it looks fine.  On my TV, it's a 58" 4K.  It looks okay there.  Nothing horrible, not the worst I've seen.  It's obviously not PC quality.  But the Nintendo exclusives at least, look good enough.  According to the box of my TV it has a built in upscaler.. it seems to be working some.  As games do seem to appear a little better than just stock 1080p.
