@JaxonH Visual fidelity is important, but you also have to keep the hardware in mind. If I cared about games only looking good on my TV, I'd be playing most or all of my non-exclusive Switch games on PC or PS5.
If the rumored Switch uses DLSS, wouldn't that also improve undocked resolution in supported games, though?

I'd argue there's a notable difference between caring about something... and only caring about something, or caring about it above all else.
For example, I don't only care about visual quality. Portability at 720p handheld/ 1080p docked is far more appealing than 4k TV only. But that doesn't mean it has no worth at all. Compared to TV only, I'll take the lower quality, but compared to a similar hybrid system with the same hybrid benefits? Don't see any gain from optionally choosing a worse hybrid experience vs a better hybrid experience.
As for DLSS, if it's on the chip (which is the most likely outcome), yes, but that could also just be used to cap out at 720p consistently instead of hitting 540p, and it could cap out at 720p with a better framerate.
That said, I'm not convinced we're gonna see DLSS on this revision. Maybe. But it just seems like quite the jump for a revision, one that would require a substantial deviation in chip architecture. I suspect insiders may have conflated leaks pertaining to the next gen Switch with leaks pertaining to the revision.
But we'll see.

industry Insider Emily Rogers hint that Switch Pro anouncement is very close to be anounced and the rumored 2D Metroid game developed by Mercury Steam might release on fall(septembre/octobre).
Don’t get me wrong @jump and @Magician, I’m not even a Sonic fan. I’ve never even touched a Sonic game! But it’s still interesting to see. And the best part is that there’s little emotional investment and disappointment if something ‘bad’ is announced...

Understandable. Personally, it just gets my hackles up when Sega puts the bulk of their advertisement effort behind the Sonic brand. Yes, it's Sega's mascot and best known IP, but Sonic doesn't hold the same cache it did in the 90's. I imagine most gamers in their late 30s or early 40s roll their eyes at most Sonic announcements, as Sega has done an excellent job running the series into the ground over the years.
Sonic would be cool...for the occasional callback, like The Noid campaign Dominoes Pizza is current running. But now when I see Sonic and I think, "again?"
Meh, I just don't do Sonic anymore. I last tried Sonic with Lost World, I wasn't expecting much and it was fine but then came the realisation there's so many other legit great games I could be playing instead rather than playing a game just for its name.
Happy that all the Sonic games are coming to Switch. Although some thoughts:
Sonic Colours has long been rumoured so wasn't all too surprising. TBH I'm not a big fan of the game (I found the levels too short, I'm not a fan of side-scrolling boost Sonic, and I find the wisps to be totally counter to Sonic's core gameplay), but I'm tempted to give this one another shot.
Sonic Origins is a win if only to get the mobile ports of Sonic 1 and 2 on console. I'll need more info to determine if this is the definitive way to play 3 and Knuckles (will this be remade in the same engine as 1/2/CD? Will there be issues with rights to the soundtrack, as has been speculated for many years?)
Disappointed in the teaser at the end though. It's been 4 years and Sonic Team are only able to show us a CGI teaser of their next game? I know we'll probably hear something soon, but a new Sonic game was a given - this hasn't really given me anything to get hyped over.
Really excited to finally have Sonic Colours on a modern system. Liked it on Wii though didn't play it much on Wii U via backwards compatibility because Wii Remote controls were awkward (on Wii you could play it with the GC controller).
Still it's one small step closer to Switch completing my "playable on Wii U" library.
@Haruki_NLI To be fair, Sonic Team are in a bit of a bind when it comes to making 3D Sonic games with a lot of content. Sonic's speed means that stages have to be much larger for a relatively short amount of gameplay.
It's likely why pretty much every Sonic game has been massively padded with alternative gameplay styles or other means (e.g. Sonic Heroes with 4 playable teams) for the past 2 decades.
The one exception I can think of is Sonic Lost World...but Sonic wasn't particularly fast in that game and the level design left a lot to be desired.
That said, I don't have much faith in Sonic Team currently.
We've been through many events over the past few days though I'd say the most interesting one so far would be the MH May Digital Event. Still very excited for Stories 2 and I'm sure the MH Rise 3.0 update content will be fun when I get to it (haven't unlocked the 2.0 content yet).
And all of them are playable in normal quests outside Rampage mode. On top of several pages of additional quests, several event quests, and so much more.
You need to be HR20 to fight Chameleos, then HR30 for Kushala Daora, HR40 for Teostra, HR50 for All-Mother Narwa and HR100 for Valstrax. Not sure about Bazelgeuse. It may unlock from the start as long as you’ve beaten Narwa. But advancinv HR goes fast once you unlock your HR cap. A single rampage can jump you 4-5 HR levels at once if it has an Apex monster.
Not sure if you played Valstrax in MHGU, but Crimson Glow Valstrax is so good in Rise. I would contend, the best monster in the game.

Yea, I was never really a Sonic fan to be honest. The Genesis games were cool, and the Adventures games on the Dreamcast were kind of neat, but most other stuff... bleh. It's one of those franchises that I keep trying and I keep regretting my 60 dollars or however much I spend on each new game lol

Lol I wasn't expecting much with Lost World, and still thought it was terrible.
Sonic has just never really been good in 3D. Generations, Colors and Adventure 2 are passable, the rest are mostly awful.
I've always wanted to try Colors, so I'll probably get this remaster at some point.
Not sure I'm going to bother with the Genesis collection, though. People give Nintendo flak about re-selling the same games to people over and over, but Sega really takes the cake with their first couple of Sonic games.
I guess the idea is that people are willing to pay a premium for Sonic 3, since it comes with the other games from that era, too.
