>>58403877Okay, in defense of Sonic Synergy, Big Red Button never intended to put this game on the Wii U. Instead the target was the Xbox One and Playstation 4. On top of that, the engine that they were using did not natively support the Wii U, so they had to spend most of the development cycle trying to get the engine to run on the Wii U-and also meant major sacrifices to both game mechanics and graphics to satisfy both time constraints and technical challenges.
Gamefreak did NOT have this problem, as their target never moved and their engine has, more or less, been made for the Switch. Not only that, but we are shown things approaching what SV's concept renders were in Galar(that fucking mushroom forest gets I can't remember the name of is close, even if it's just baked lighting.)
Totally different situations.
