Have you played any games outside of those genres? There's plenty of great modern games that are side scrollers. The idea that side scrollers are antiquated is frankly absurd. All that aside, Armoured Core, Yakuza, Street Fighter, Tekken and MH Wilds all look pretty good.

Also considering the power of a Switch, it seems like a no brainer that it would look like a PS3? It's chipset is almost a decade old and operates at a fraction of the power of other platforms.
