According to the first gameplay videos that are circulating on the internet, Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City work on an acceptable way on the Nintendo Switch. However, the real problem is that Batman: Arkham Knight has serious performance issues, with the frame rate falling below 20 during certain moments with the Batmobile. The visual quality of the game was also greatly affected.

Warning I would stay away from the Batman Arkham Trilogy on Switch.This is unplayable.

So Arkham Knight I would stay away from (as least until its patched)Arkham Asylum is pretty solid. But still not ideal. FPS drops in combatArkham City is actually pretty good and would recommend picking it up :)

Where it’s at.
In all fairness, Arkham Knight was a huge letdown. The first two games of the trilogy are the best ones, so Knight being unplayable is just saving players from the bloat and the shit writing.

Why they ever thought letting Paul Dini go as the writer for the games after City is a mystery. The writers at DC still go to him for advice and even Bob Kane himself said Paul Dini is the best Batman writer there has ever been.

Yup, Knight isn't worth playing on any platform.

It was meh.
At least the combat wasn't fucked up like it was in Origins, but the writing in both Origins and Knight was beyond abysmal. Why Rocksteady thought some hack internal writer from the UK could do a better job than the walking Batman Encyclopedia is way beyond my comprehension.

When the writer was saying "Nobody will guess who the Arkham Knight really is!" and then lost his shit when everyone figured out it was Jason Todd before the game even released was hilarious.
