So once again when Nintendo can do it this site says resolution is impottant and it matters. The rest of the time when the switch isn’t powerful enough to get there then those that complain are not real gamers and pixel peepers. Get over it. Resolution and frame rates always matter.
@NorrinRadd Xbox had a backward compatibility team. I’m sure they all got paid. I explained how it can still be profitable. People who didn’t buy the game previously may now. Plus it’s good customer support.
@NintendoWife if you don’t think Xbox backward compatibility is the way to go you are beyond a Nintendo fan.
Xbox could have been wrong about heavily emphasizing AAA games and gamepass. That doesn’t mean that they were wrong about free updates to previous generations games. No ones talking free content. We’re talking free fps and resolution upgrades which are practically free to do.
Anyways I’ve explained how this company has made a sale from me while Nintendo has lost a sale from me. You can accept that or not.
@NintendoWife upgrade the games for free. At least a resolution boost and fps. Then people will be happy.
I don’t care about the updated content. And as far as I’m concerned that content is locked behind what most of us really want (updated resolution and fps). So pass.
Xbox as bad as they are set the standard. Nintendo should adopt it
@Pillowpants there’s a large portion of people who buy systems to annually play fifa and cod. FIFA runs at 60fps on ps5 and they have cod. People will continue to buy PlayStation.
This is how we will all buy our systems in the future when all games are digital and there’s no reason for stores to carry systems if they don’t make money off games.
Everyone here loves digital foundry when they say something nice about a game on their favourite system. Then they say something negative and digital foundry is a trash graphics whore company pixel peeping who care about graphics over gameplay.
@electrolite77 I don’t know how you can be so relaxed about buying a new system and then have games coming out for that system which are 30fps meanwhile not celebrating this.
@The_Nintendo_Pedant yes this is the problem. I just want to play the new Mario and dks so here I am. Even though there has been nothing that has convinced me that this is actually the upgrade that my wallet can justify.
@The_Nintendo_Pedant I felt the system was advertised with 120fps, 4k and hdr. And here we are playing most games sub 4k, sub 60fps and without hdr. If it is a pro. It’s for switch 1 games. But switch 2 games…. Yikes.
@anoyonmus I think a lot of people were expecting series S performance with DLSS. I don’t think expecting games like fifa to be 60fps is a big expectation.
There should be a pro model if this is what we’re doing. Put the pro right beside the Xbox and Sony portable.
@Darthmoogle I grew up in the nes era on a 14 inch black and white tv. A 14 inch black and white hides a lot of imperfections. My 98 inch tv showcases any imperfections. It’s just a different world.
Btw the 16 bit era was all about comparing graphics. Blast processing from Genesis. Neo geo was bigger badder better. There definitely was a graphics focus then.
@OrtadragoonX so the system is made for 40 year olds not for kids anymore? Interesting. Then why are the games sooooooo easy in comparison to when we were kids.
@electrolite77 affordable portable systems have been selling like crazy yes. The gameboy was cheaper than the nes. Advance cheaper than a snes. 3DS cheaper than a wii u. The software on portable games was cheaper too. Now we’re in a different ballgame. This system costs the same as the ps5 digital. And the games are the same price too. Switch 1 did sell gangbusters. There’s no guarantee that will continue.
@OrtadragoonX I don’t know where you live. But in North America many of us have TVs in so many rooms we arent confined to a single tv. I grew up with a tv in the kitchen. Now you can buy a fridge with a tv. On my main floor alone there are four tvs. One in the office, one in the dining room, one in the kitchen, one in the living room. I don’t know how another screen makes any difference.
@OrtadragoonX the pc handhelds are such a small percentage of the market. It’s barely worth mentioning. Also if I have a game on the pc handhelds I can play that same game on an actual pc desktop with significantly more power. So the pc player has options. The switch players have none.
@OrtadragoonX how about putting yourself in direct competition with the series S. Besides we buy Nintendo not for the form factor. I promise you this is my sixth switch (5 OG switch’s and 1 switch 2) with zero intention of ever using any of them portable. We buy the system for its first party games.
@OmnitronVariant does the museum have a love hotel section. Or better yet a love hotel beside the museum for visitors. I want the entire Nintendo experience since I’m a real fan.
@OrtadragoonX maybe. But maybe you just need to put more work into it. Maybe developers simply did the cost benefit analysis of this and other games and said it’s simply not worth it. But if they had stronger hardware it wouldn’t take nearly the work so they would have gotten it done. If we have a whole generation where we have to home for the panic buttons, or Ferals of the world to port games other wise we get this…. We’re in big trouble. Those guys can only do so much. The vast majority will give us this.
Really wish they had just released a tv only switch to either improve the performance or to reduce the cost of the system. Currently paid way to much for this performance.
@Smackosynthesis I thought we were paying expensive prices as a charity to Nintendo. Seemingly Nintendo doesn’t seem to want to be a charity to their customer support team. Don’t worry. Nintendo will never use ai or shut down studios. They are your best friends.

Re: ICYMI: Red Dead Redemption's Switch 2 Release Is A Free Upgrade For Switch Owners
@NintendoWife people like me who haven’t bought the game and wouldn’t buy the game my buy the game now. I’m likely a candidate.
Where as I did not buy the Kirby game because the only way to get the visual upgrade was to buy the dlc. That’s insane. So I passed.
I think it’s worse for Nintendo first party games because their sales are brutal. So buying an old game hurts.

Re: Review: EA SPORTS FC 26 (Switch 2) - A Fantastic Football Game, Once You're Used To The Frame Rate
@OldGamer999 we should aim for 24fps. That’s what movies are filmed at. Anything more is insane. We need things cinematic.

@CupidStunt I don’t understand this either. Even if you couldn’t get 4k why not 1440p at 60fps. This is depressing.
