Should I return this game for Switch game?

[Echo]

So I just found out that this game is coming to Switch soon. I just recently got this game and I really like it but I've only played around an hour of it so I wondering if I should return it to get it again on Switch. PC will probably have better aiming since im using a mouse but the Switch has more moblity since I can play it anywhere so I can't decide on which one I want.

I mean, the controller settings are probably gonna be quite similar, using the right joystick to aim. That's how I played the entire game and it works quite well.

It doesn't have aiming requirements like fps games since it's just a flat 2d type game. just get it on the one you want to play it on any would be fine.

I have seen one person express worry that CrossCode may have framerate drops like Stardew Valley's Switch port because of the CPU requirement, but I don't know if that fear is warranted.

It's probably way too early to speculate about performance issues just yet. I'd say the main factor for OP is how long they want to wait to play it, since 2019 probably means late this year, not soon.

Why? I have a switch, its a great console and the "portability" is the upside, but srsly, its the same game. Its just as cool on PC as it will be on switch.

Sure you might not be able to play it on the go via PC (although if you have a laptop you can do that too) but PC gives the option to play with a controller or mouse and keyboard and given the controls of the game this might be an advantage.

Just keep it, its probably gonna be more expensive on switch too, like any game for no reason.

Up to you completely, If you want to play it now then keep it, if you want to play it on your switch, then refund and wait or even buy both if you can afford it.

As for the differences between input methods, it literally doesn't matter.
I've played the game first on mouse+keyboard and while it gives you better aiming, I hated having to center my cursor to melee things (even more so in arenas where Lea doesn't stay in the center of the screen), still it works perfectly fine and is great for menus as well.
Then I did a second playthrough for speedrun purposes with a controller, and it made the moving around and melee so much better to the detriment of that pin point accuracy you get with a mouse, but which is never required of you.
I've watched Xdragon speedrun the game multiple times using a controller, and Horheristo beat all bosses without taking any damage on m+kb, both are perfectly fine.

You want CrossCode portable right now? Just use a Windows 10 tablet. Works with both Kb+M and Xbox controllers. ;)
