I just booted up Metroid Prime Remastered. Looks clean as hell on the Switch 2 screen.

This is far the best looking one yet.
Metroid dread is kinda eh..

But fuck me prime remastered is amazing now.

Diablo 2 also looks so much fucking better

Surprised Nintendo didn't offer this as a worlds first paid system update.

 

[playbignbox]

Has anyone tested DQ XI?

 

[diffusionx]

I'm gonna tell my kids this is DLSS5

 

[Spukc]

I'm gonna tell my kids this is DLSS

Just open the eshop and look at any random super markt simulator game if you want dlss5 heck it might even be dlss6

Fantasian demo looks nice and runs at 60 FPS.

Great way to play it now. Previously started on Apple Arcade but never finished it. PC version doesn't support ultrawide. I may grab it for Switch if/when there's a drought.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Has anyone tested the other Xenoblade games with that update applied? Especially Xenoblade Chronicles 2?

 

[coffinbirth]

Wonder what this does to games that had their fps tanked and graphical issues in docked mode on S1?

Sonic Frontiers, I'm looking at you!

 

[Chukhopops]

If anyone is curious about XC2. I didn't tag which version is before/after but you can probably tell.

Spoiler

This is game changer for old sub-native games.

 

[Codes 208]

I was hoping they'd do this

Some og games in handheld mode look…not great even on the 2

 

[Sohurmk833]

This is fantastic news. A real boost to Switch 2 BC and it's handheld capabilities.

 

[Zuzu]

Wow this is awesome. Great news.

 

[Pantz]

Tried Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Scarlet and Cruis'n Blast. What a game changer! I can actually see clearly where I'm driving in Cruis'n Blast and it's so smooth. Also took some nice photos of Ayane while testing.

FINALLY! I have been saying this is a must literally since the Switch 2 was announced!

you can now make Switch 1 games think they are in Docked mode, even when playing handheld.

so now, if a game is 1080p docked, it will be 1080p in handheld mode! instead of looking like a low resolution mess!

this is huge news for the Xenoblade games especially!
Xenoblade 2 looked like an absolute shitshow in handheld mode before.

This is great, non Nintendo like (enabling something that may not make some game work or work well despite 99.8% of games benefiting from this?) but great.

This is almost like a free Switch 2 edition patch as it makes games native to the display (most of them) and it might look resolution wise better on the handheld than docked .

 

[Hero_Select]

Has anyone tested DQ XI?

It definitely looks sharper and cleaner

 

[Kataploom]

the issue with docked mode improvements through a system setting is that it would be untested.

docked mode is a tested setting of the game, so offering it while playing on the handheld isn't risking any real technical issues.

and I kinda doubt Nintendo is gonna do something like Microsoft and offer resolution or fps boosts without patches, because they not only would need to test each game they boost, but also need a way to inject the change like Microsoft does... and not sure they can do that as easily as Microsoft can.

MS has a wrapper or a VM or something like that so they can implement a translation layer to old games like they did with the Xbox One -> X360 BC, Nintendo nor Sony thought that much in advance

Holy shit yes.

I was waiting for a Switch 2 edition to dip in, but this should do it.

Thank you Nintendo !
