Does that account for the fact that the graphics in almost all Nintendo games are dogshit?

Like even with running stupidly low resolution graphics it still won't perform as well as a steam deck with much better graphics?

I hate Nintendo and everything they stand for with every fiber of my being but graphics in modern Nintendo games don't seem to be much worse than a average unreal or unity game.

All I ever see are online screenshots though. Maybe BOTW has too many solid colored textures on models where they should've made it textured but that's kind of the style these days so meh. Back in the day Ninendo graphics were quite dogshitty. Wii used the same av cable as the N64 and could output a maximum resolution of something like 854x480 while the other consoles could do 1080p for example. Puke.

I'm not sure how much shittier the N64 was than the Saturn but the PS1 was better. Saturn games could at least handle better textures and weren't as limited in terms of media storage size. Cds could hold something like 650mb. N64 carts could only hold up to 64mb according to Wikipedia but I seem to remember there might have been some games with larger roms than that.
