RGT 85 just mentioned Lego City Undercover...YES! What a great suggestion. Faster loading times AND boosted handheld resolution. What a fantastic idea. Redownloading nao!

 

[undeadhero]

Damn, Nintendo. This is a legit update.

All the screen and videos I have seen it is very hard to tell the difference. Does it actually make a huge difference in real life?

I saw it on Vampyr and Tony Hawk 1+2, two games which are known for their terrible look on handheld mode. I should try Arkham Knight as well

Do you have a Switch 2 and lots of Switch games? Try it out for yourself if you do!

I mean, let's take Mario Kart 8 as an example. would you notice the difference between 720p and 1080p? if yes, then yes it does make a difference.

some games were very compromised even in docked mode, like Xenoblade 2, but the boost helps make those look at least acceptable on the smaller screen now.

then there are some very weird outliers like Bayonetta 1 (and I think 2 as well) that ran at the same resolution (720p in this case) in both modes, so you won't see any difference there.
there are even some games that ran at 1080p in handheld mode on switch 1 already for some reason, and for those games you already got that benefit before this patch (if other settings stayed the same of course, which might not have been the case)

It does, at least in the games I've tested. You can't trust the internal screen capture. It messes with the resolutions.

Difference betwee 720p and 1080p is 900k pixels vs 2m pixels so yes it makes a difference even on a small screen like this.

Well I have tried 3 games so far. Smash Bros. Ultimate, DBZ: Kakarot, and Metroid Prime Remastered. All showed improvements. Smash and Metroid are much cleaner and sharper. They look great.

DBZ Kakarot is like a whole new game almost. It was so pixelated before, and there was definitely slowdown in OG Switch. Now it looks great, and runs smooth.

Yeah I remember The Last Remnant Remastered ran at 1080p in handheld mode so Switch 2 users already have been enjoying that at a higher resolution.

Yea, basically every LEGO game is going to look that much better in Handheld mode.

It makes me wonder if WB found out about "Boost mode" and stopped development on those supposed Switch 2 editions of several LEGO games.

This update is really cool! Xenoblade 2 definitely looks better. A Switch 2 patch would still be preferred but I'm sure some games look so much better in handheld now. I don't really play in handheld much but if I can play Super Mario RPG 1080P handheld then I might have to finally open my copy of the game.

The real reason to update right here. This IS new right? Nintendo color coded this section. I remember it only being one solid color.
