Not only are the visuals lacking in definition, the 3D models are also missing graphical detail.<\/p>\n<p>This has led to some buyers contacting the developer to ask if a fix is in the works &#8211; and thankfully, it is.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p><span lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/zen_studios?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@zen_studios<\/a> will there be improvements to the resolution on Switch in docked mode? It looks pretty crappy on a large screen. Same tables that looked great on the Wii U look pretty horrendous on Switch. I re-purchased a bunch of tables before I tried playing. Probably a mistake.<\/span>\u2014 Ryan Kimber (@MajesticFlame) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MajesticFlame\/status\/940794058682916864?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 13, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/aside>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p><span lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Yep, looks terrible.
