Why recent Nintendo games lack bass in their OSTs?



I noticed since the release of the Switch that many Nintendo games have very little bass in their music. I’ve mainly noticed this in the [Pokémon OSTs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_TPXbH7ee4&ab_channel=Pokeli) but it’s also blatant in Mario Kart (I thought back to this when I heard the remastered version of [Waluigi Pinball’s music](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdaX5iX0ZaU&ab_channel=DavidBosch) which I think loses a lot of that funky touch that had the original theme on DS).

Did you also notice that? Do you have any idea why this is so?
