@Vyacheslav333 Because the console is more powerful than the switch 1. It can brute force variable frame rates to be well not variable

@Vyacheslav333 I don’t think you really understand the power gap between the Switch 1 and Switch 2. You might want to look into the specs a bit, because hating on Nintendo for not adding this feature ignores the fact that it would run terribly and offer a pretty miserable experience. Complain about Nintendo’s pricing all you want, but the Switch 1 is still a tiny 2017 device. Anyway, I definitely fell for the rage bait

@Vyacheslav333 Hyrule warriors ran at 1080p for no reason in handheld and it was just a net loss, because of the switch having.... a 720p screen. The switch 1 running games in tv mode is pointless and a battery destroyer.

@squiddu-real I may actually finish the 100%ing this game it looks lovely. Hype update got reason to possibly check out a few switch one games I missed

Tried this out on Mario +Rabbids Kingdom battle and its beautiful

Please make my goat Dark souls 1 1080p and 60 fps in handheld

Well looks a lot better than the gen 9 games. Hopefully this wait allows for a polished experience

@Vyacheslav333 Probably just UE 5 bloat

@FredsBodyDouble Try it and see for yourself personally, my eyes pick up the issues immediately. Others can barely tell the difference, so your experience may vary. Overall, if you’re playing in docked mode you should be fine; it’s handheld where the most noticeable problems show up.

Enjoyed the remake overall. It had some pacing issues, but it was still a lot of fun. I’m playing the OG right now, and I’ll probably grab this on my Switch 2 instead of PC since I like taking JRPGs on the go for flights and such

@ButterySmooth30FPS Don't remind me of people parroting the Canadian Mario Kart world price as the USD price. The controversy around the switch 2 launch was mostly just stupid, especially the part about bricking consoles.

@mikegamer I don’t care about the five dollars aside from the fact that a paid update should be damn near perfect. What actually bothers me is the precedent it sets. If people just accept this level of quality, it becomes a slippery slope, and I really don’t want this franchise ending up with the same “quality” reputation modern Pokémon has.

@TerribleTerabytes Absolutely nothing wrong with this upgrade really??? It’s fine if you don’t notice the issue, but don’t go after people who do or pretend it’s a non‑issue. Docked mode is great, but handheld falls way below the level of quality many expect from Nintendo and for many it is a downgrade.

@mikegamer I don't speak for everyone, but this is an unacceptable drop in quality for me. Rather have the switch 1 version, honestly I hope they don't upgrade the trilogy with these "upgrades".

@DennisReynolds In the DF Direct Weekly posted today, they literally call this the worst Switch 2 edition. There’s no harm in not noticing the issues yourself, but acting like this is some insignificant problem is just ignorance. I felt something was off within the first minute of handheld play after updating.

@mikegamer Because idk I travel I expect my upgrade to not downgrade my experience on a hybrid console. Sure docked looks great but portable is in an unacceptable state

@MamaSymphonia Handheld is worse sure docked for the most part is better. Though personally I found the artfifacting in handheld to be very noticeable. Planing to revert back to switch 1 myself.

Game kinda drags on in the end but past that straight heat. Playing the original next before I get Rebirth

@Matt_Barber Glad to see another person on this site that can see the glaring issues. Love these games but this is not it

@MattmanForever Artifacts everywhere, faces warping, and it’s painfully obvious they slapped on a cheap upscaler. This is nowhere near native 1080p the AI is just crudely re‑rendering each frame. Once you’re in motion it becomes extremely noticeable and honestly pretty jarring. At this point I’m probably reverting to the Switch 1 version. The old 720p looked far better than whatever this is supposed to be. Disgrace of an upgrade especially a paid upgrade

Tried out docked mode and it’s fantastic in 4K. Portable mode, though, is an absolute disgrace. Really hoping they push a fix quickly. Until then, I’m sticking to docked for X

@N8tiveT3ch I def play on pc a lot. I noticed this in like the first few minutes. It is a curse I haven't played yet on docked. Hoping that 4k is as nice as it sounds

@SplatRay001 a lot of jarring artfiacts from the upscaler in handheld. It made the experience far worse for me. Ai will smith eating noodles type stuff

It looks considerably worse in handheld. Lazy work by Monolithsoft sure it looks great docked but why do we have to pay for a worse portable experience?

@Rhaoulos It isn't even a good upgrade it looks awful in portable mode. A lot of ai upscaling mistakes everything looks deformed especially bad in motion

Played this update in handheld and save your money if you play in portable. It has a lot of visual issues in portable mode

@1970sGamer Rather a locked 30 than a unstable 60. Though fps games are made for 60 +. JRPGs I don't care too much

The Ichiban games are amazing I hope we get another(Ichiban game) at least

I think i may pick this up on my switch instead of my pc. Just to have something on my switch

First Re game it got me hooked. Loved that this version lets you skip door cutscenes

About to get the NSO expansion pack I think. Never finished this when I played on dolphin

It is nice that Digital Foundry is here to give insights. Though a pokemon game was never going to do well with them. Gamefreak on a technical level is just lazy and uncaring. Though the gameplay might be good Gamefreak needs assistance from Monolith Soft or another more experienced studio. Since gamefreak can barely do pokemon games on the switch. A frnachise this big should not have technical issues this big.

Billions must emulate

40 dollars for Galaxy billions must emulate

If it at least runs well that will be impressive for a modern
game freak game.

@VoidofLight Well to compare it to a PS2 game made by square it looks a lot worse than kh 2 or ff12.

This was a highlight of the direct for me looks cool. Though probably going to pick up on steam

@Waluigi451 Ironic considering both companies heavy hitters were missing. FF7 and Elden Ring are out there somewhere.

Well I might check out apex just to see how it runs. Just 100% PvZ on steam last December so not too interesting. Only cared about FF Tactics but nothing new. Adventures of Elliot has a bad name but and a annoying fairy but going to check out the demo for the sake of it.

People are really upset that Digital Foundry is doing their job. DF already said in that review that they like the switch 2 and DF just pointed out it's short comings. Digital Foundry is the tech review they go through the weeds too find smaller issues its what they do. Enjoy your switch 2 DF is just telling Nintendo what they need to do better in a later revision.

I'll take 10/13 in 1:07. It has been years since I played galaxy would love to see it on switch

Probably going to pick this up enjoyed second on the 3ds and never played the original

@Tayrailbridge the lock on in pikmin 4 is a sin. Idk why they had to do it 1,2, and 3 just felt so much better. Played all four on switch. Though i did try the version on pikmin 2 on pc and it felt amazing would love an offical version with mouse controls.

Ok cool now give it to the pikmin games

@Anti-Matter at least mirco SD express cards should get cheaper. As the Switch 2 is a recent mainstream application of the tech.

@Pat_trick switch is at least getting the expansion. The expansion that never made it to ps4 and xbone due to performance issues.

Love this game on my pc. May get this just to have a physical copy

Sadly this is such as industry standard with discs. The cd project red cart is the rare instance besides first party of the game being on the cart.

I will let them cook but this seems like a odd choice.
