DF: Switch 2 free upgrade for Switch 1 games is awesome

I'm not enjoying the term "Free" in this context. These games are basically having their caps moved to 60 or more and their dynamic rez moved higher and locked there simply due to the uplift in raw performance. The "Free" upgrade is the entry price of the Switch 2 and last time I checked that wasn't Free.

So there are two PS4 games, one gets a paid patch on PS5 and the other a free one.

What do you call the free patch?
 
Don't forget, many of us don't own a 4K tv yet. You're talking a good $1200 minimum for a decent one. Pretty soon that "free" upgrade is costing you upwards of $2000. Nintendo is the biggest scam in the history of gaming.
Shit, I have to pay money for glasses AND go to the doctor once a year to get my eyes checked so I can keep seeing in 4k. Free upgrade my ass.
 
I didnt think emulation would be better but it sure looks like it. Bottom pic is my screenshot, graphics at 1.5x res, FSR and SMAA on. I dont have a $1k rig either.

a little tip:
right click twice on a Youtube Video and you can copy or save the current frame in full res.

you're posting a 1439p image of an 1800p game that is shown in a 2160p video... this will obviously distort the comparison you're trying to make...
also, wtf is even that weird resolution? why 1439p? the fuck are you running your PC at?

and that PC screenshot looks heavily oversharpened. also, why even use FSR? imagine using SMAA and then ruining the look of the game by slapping FSR on it...

Currently playing totk and am glad I waited. Just bought super Mario 3D world as I havnt played it since Wii U and I'm pretty excited about. Comparisons look great.
 
ugh, I can't with these positive NS2 threads. Let's go back to awful.

I actually don't notice the Splatoon 3 upgrade that much. It might look a bit cleaner, but honestly Nintendo games are so clean I don't know if a res boost is that apparent. At least not to me.
Well if we want to put a negative spin on this, which has been crossing my mind lately, but if third parties keep pulling the game key card on switch 2 bull shit, then new games on the platform are gonna be a bit of a bummer.

the thought had been crossing my mind a lot recently. Maybe this should have been called Super Switch, because new games are not gonna be appealing with so many game key cards, but the system is a great upgrade for Switch 1 games...

Not sure if you are actually being serious here.
