Handheld Players
After playing The Rogue Prince of Persia on Nintendo Switch 1, I decided to buy it again on Nintendo Switch 2 — and wow, the difference is huge.
On Switch 1, the game targets 30 fps, but it rarely feels like a stable 30. On Switch 2, it’s a completely different experience with a smooth, consistent 60 fps. The game is still challenging, but on Switch 2 you genuinely feel in control.
On Switch 1, the controls feel sluggish, almost as if the game is controlling you rather than the other way around.
After spending time with the Switch 2 version, I have to say that the Switch 1 version, in its current state, is extremely difficult to play properly. The unstable frame rate makes the game much harder than intended, and I would strongly recommend avoiding the Switch 1 version for now.
If you have a Switch 2, get the game there - it’s a fun and demanding experience when it runs as it should. Hopefully the developer will release a patch to improve performance on Switch 1.

Channel Update: A Healthier Approach to Coverage
For Handheld Players and LATAM Players, I’ve made a conscious decision: I’m no longer buying copies of games just to cover them when PR companies or publishers decline my requests. This change is about protecting my well-being and staying true to what feels right for me and my channels.
If I genuinely want to play a game and own it, I’ll buy it. But chasing titles just because they’re trending or in demand? That’s no longer part of my process. I’ve stopped chasing in real life—whether it’s friendships, relationships, or content. I believe the best things come naturally, and that mindset has brought me peace and clarity.
Thanks for understanding and supporting this journey.

📢 Channel Update – About Comments
Hey everyone, just a quick heads-up: I’m currently unable to respond to comments on the channel’s videos. I’m deep in preparations for my upcoming move abroad in December, and things are getting pretty intense.
Right now, I’m only able to focus on uploading videos for Switch 1 and Switch 2, along with a few social media updates. As much as I’d love to engage more, replying to comments would stretch me too thin and add to the burnout I’m already feeling.
That said, feel free to leave questions on the videos—our awesome community of subscribers and viewers is always great at jumping in to help!
Thanks so much for your understanding and support!
