We have known UbiSoft to be out of ideas and options. This seems like they are grabbing for straws. Yes, people liked Black Flag more than AC3 and more than Rogue, Unity, and Syndicate. But I don’t think the gameplay (especially the dull cities and the even worse reality levels) holds up really well today. They shouldn’t have crashed Skull and Bones as hard as they did and developed a full fledged Black Flag 2 without the AC ballast and more pirate stuff.
What makes the switch genius level of engineering is the Switch System Software microkernel architecture. When the switch plays a game, it doesn’t have bloated tasks running in the background to render some ads in some shop app you probably won’t visit while playing, but only plays the game. This approach is totally mandatory to get anything to run on the switch’s ancient hardware, but it is also so beautiful and rare to see today from a technical point of view. Where Xbox and PlayStation are directly derived from a multi-purpose desktop PC, the switch is more closely related with consoles and handhelds of the past.
Therefore a lot of flashy UI elements pulling information from the Internet or animating with some “expensive” (in a performance sense) effects aren’t really feasible, since these would hog up system resources the switch doesn’t have to spare and isn’t even designed to be able to spare. I hope when Nintendo updates the switch they keep this philosophy alive and this would very probably lead to another clean UI.
