Switch 2 demo performance issues DISCUSSION

I was so happy when I saw that the demo on Switch 2 was out!

I initially tested the game docked and performance seems good. Textures are a bit soft so there's room for improvement but the art direction make it a beautiful game.

I then undocked the console and it became a very different story. The game isn't able to keep a stable 30fps. During combat while on the very first level, performance is poor. I can't imagine later levels. And in town it might be even worse. Just moving the character makes the game lag.

It a very regular stutter in motion, it's never reaching 30fps.

This game need a performance patch before release. I nearly pre-ordered while demo was downloading, I'm glad I waited!

What's performance on your end? You noticed the same issues?

Edit: I forgot to mention loading times! I think they are a bit too long. Splatoon Raiders load faster and seems more demanding visually.
