Skylanders Imaginators Switch: The Good, The Bad, and The Chompy.

I played the game for about an hour of the four hour Nintendo Switch event. It's basically identical to the PS3 or Xbox 360 versions graphically. But, it has really bad loading times. To the point that the girl who was working at the booth thought that the game had frozen, because it had been loading for over a minute. It also seems like cutscenes in-between levels cannot be skipped. As they feature a big "LOADING" on the screen the whole time. You would think that lower quality graphics would equal better performance, but the game runs pretty slow when docked. Normally in the overworld map, your Skylanders travel around at a speedy pace. On, the Switch version, they were about normal speed. Then, when playing levels, the characters moved kind of slowly. Also, certain attacks caused massive slowdown. An interesting thing that I noticed, is that the chests with gear load faster, when you open them. They don't have that weird slowdown that I have sometimes experienced on PS4 opening one chest after another. They had the sound turned completely off, and were blasting music with a DJ at the event, so unfortunately I couldn't deduce the sound quality of the Switch version. The game is kind of blurry and warped looking on a 1080p screen when docked. But, when played in portable mode on the Switch screen at 720p, the game looks much better, and seems to run slightly better as well. Also, all of the menus are touch screen, or not. Depending on how you want to play. The right analog stick that scans the Skylanders is so fast, it read every figure in a second or two maximum. It's obviously better tech than we have in our current portals. And, hopefully it gets implemented in Skylanders portals for the 2018 game. I really like the idea of taking all of my Skylanders on the go. But, this is basically identical to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, minus the racing and traps, and with longer load times. A strange thing that I did notice, that was kind of cool. This could be just because it was a demo. But, almost all gear had already been unlocked for Imaginators customization, and all the chests that I was opening had some of the new and (possibly) unreleased items and weapons in them.
