https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/68473Bunch of random stuff, but most importantly:>Added “Handheld Mode Boost” to Nintendo Switch Software Handling in System. >Handheld Mode Boost will cause compatible Switch software to run as if in TV Mode, so certain functionality may be affected. Please see the on-device description for more details.Basically you can run Switch 1 games on Switch 2 handled using Switch 1 docked settings. So for example a Switch 1 game that ran at 1080p docked but only 720p handheld can now be made to run 1080p handheld on Switch 2.
Xenooblade 2 handheld going from 360p to 720p
Still not buying a Switch 2.
>>735116707Neat, seems a strange thing to not have had at launch though.
The madlads actually did it, I wonder how long the battery will last with that enabled.
Here's the setting.
>>735116837
Boughted.
i still don't get why docked games run better
>>735117176U wut m8? Cpu and memory get underclocked when portable to not consume too much battery, when docked the system don't limit anything anymore and you consume way much power but you're connected to the ac-adapter.
Jesus christ, finally.>Pizza Tower finally looks presentable
NASB1 looks so good with this mode in handheld now, nasb 2 looks somewhat better but is still locked at 30
>>735117176based retard
>>735116882I would have if Prime 4 wasn't shit.
>>735117176Power draw retardo, also heat. Any demanding game would drain battery in a hour.>>735116912Because otherwise people would activate this and complain.
>>735116837Better than nothing
Can’t wait to see how Xenoblade 2 looks. I’d try it but I’m tired and lazy atm
>>735116707Fantastic change. It should have launched with it but it's very welcome regardless.
>>735116912>seems a strange thing to not have had at launch though.There were probably glitches with some games.
>>735116837Decided to test it out.Here's how it looks without the boost.
>>735116707Oh shit that's cool. I thought they would never do that but I guess I was wrong.
>>735116707Wait wtf is this real? This is fucking HUGElike this is genuinely a huge fucking featurePreviously games ran at 720p max in handheld aside from Hyrule Warriors which was programmed to run at 1080p on switch 1 portable by mistakeLike this is genuinely a massive change to switch 1 games wtf
>>735117413And here's with the boost.Pretty major.
Xenoblade 1 looks so much better now
>>735117458Holy fuck not 1080p but it's a massive upgrade from 240pCan you try out Persona 5?
>>735117413>>735117458Woah
Anyone can compare Xenoblade X with and without switch 2 upgrade?
Step in the right direction, it'd be nice to have a per-game toggle though.
Do things look worse in motion, or is it just me? Dark Souls looks significantly better, but the camera movement looks pretty bad. It's been awhile since I played the Switch version though.
>>735117413
>>735117413>>735117458Yeah, that's a drastic improvement. It solves one of the biggest problems that the Switch 2 had, which was how shit the Switch 1 games would look in handheld mode. Granted, the FPS will still probably be bad compared to other platforms in some cases but it's still a major improvement.
Fuck yeah handheld boost. Trying Pikmin 3 Deluxe now since Handheld is a big smear on Switch 1.
>>735117286why are you playing that?
>>735117458Hell yeah. Thanks anon
I unironically feel like buying a switch 2 now. It just sucks how expensive it is for me.
>>735117704Because its fun and i bought it to play with a friend?
>>735116707>>Added “Handheld Mode Boost” to Nintendo Switch Software Handling in System. >>Handheld Mode Boost will cause compatible Switch software to run as if in TV Mode, so certain functionality may be affected. Please see the on-device description for more detailsHOLY SHIT I WAS WAITING FOR THIS, THIS WAS MY BIGGEST CRITICISM OF THE SYSTEMFUCK ALL YOU FAGGOTS WHO KEPT TELLING IT WASN'T POSSIBLE, I WON
>>735116837Xenoblade 2 is probably getting a S2 upgrade sooner or later anyway but nice for people that want to do a replay now
>>735117545I'd prefer a toggle in the quick menu.
>>735117862It's not like it wasn't possible I just thought they would never do it because Nintendo is weird
>>735117862Based winner anon.
>>735116707Cool. Now I wish that there was a way to boost frame rates globally
Docked VRR next please.
>>735117867They are probably doing a DE instead. Game have lot of things to fix.
Pokemon Let's go will need a patch to work with it because that game catching mechanics need motion controls in dock mode. I hate that dogshit game so much.
>>735117970This entirely depends on the devs, most just programed their games with the original switch hardware in mind so they put hard locks, they would need to recompile and make a sw2 edition to unlock that.
>>735118062I know.That's why I said i wish there was a way to do it globally. I understand that it needs to be patched game by game.
I'm testing out games but I barely notice a difference if at all.
>>735118014Make Ursula's affinity line and field skills in general not dogshit
>>735116707Nigger, give me more themes. Why are there only 2 themes????
>>735117517Don't have that one unfortunately.Here's a test with Xenoblade 3 since this one didn't have such an aggressive handheld resolution.Without boost.
>>735118142Being immune to graphical faggotry it's a blessing, anon.
>>735118142Wich ones?
>>735118053I just tested it and it works completely fine. Even caught a random weepinbell to make sure the catching works too. Seems the update accounted for this game specifically.
>>735118219And with.
>>735118142Did you actually select it? I've noticed a lot.
>>735118053Isn't that game basically unplayable in handheld mode anyway?
>>735116707>Handheld Mode Boost will cause compatible Switch software to run as if in TV ModeHOLY SHITFINALLYThis shit was already possible on the Switch 1 with homebrew, I'm so fucking glad we don't have to wait for some tranny to crack the system just so we can get this feature.
>>735118262Oh good to know then. Thanks switch 2 anon
>>735118276Eunie's pussy look delicious in that pic.
>>735118053>>735118262The pro controler doesn't work with LetsGo or something? Because it has gyro included
>>735116707but why? The battery will drain so quickly, just play docked
>>735116707how about "Add Games" to Nintendo Switch 2?
>>735118303No, not at all.
>>735118340It's better to have the option, anon.
>>735118230I honestly cant tell the difference between 800p and 1080p when I use my deck and switch 2 in handheld. It really doesn't matter on a small screen
>>735118345>already has more exclusives than ps5 and xbox combinedAnon, the deranged schizo anti nintendo thread is 6 pages down the block
>>735118303In handheld mode it just ignores the retarded motion controls and you can press A to launch pokeballs. It's the opposite of unplayable. Docked sucks.
>>735117749Don't buy one, wait for the oled. The Switch 2 screen has awful ghosting.
>>735116882What if I bought one for you? :3
>>735118428>Octopath Traveller 2 doesn't look like smeared shit in handheld anymoreOkay I guess I can finally play the game I guess
>>735116707GreatI’ve been playing a lot of handheld recently so this will be amazing
>>735118340Grind in RLG's while watching TV with it plugged in.
>>735118380That's good, anon. Just enjoy the games.I'm happy playing starfox 2 at 15 fps.
>>735118327Pro controller never worked with it, just joy cons. This is why it is a dog shit game for me.
>>73511855715?I mean 10. Lol.
>>735118578Didn't knew that but now I'm intrigued, might download the nsp to test
>>735116995This kills your battery lol
Has anyone tried Catherine? That game looked like ass in handheld mode
>>735116707what games benefit the most from this update?
Have they fixed Xenoblade Chronicles X shitty Switch 2 upgrade?
>>735118721Probably the whole Xenoblade saga
>>735118654It's switch 1 games, it really won't be that bad in my opinion.
I didn’t know Mario Wonder looked like that
>>735118721Almost every game on some level, since they all had to drop resolution or some settings in handheld mode.For a big example, look at Xenoblade 2 here >>735117413 and >>735117458
>>735118654Not any more than playing native S2 games
>>735117173BASED
>>735118839Damn it almost looked like a 3ds game.
>>735118721Actually not manyThe amount of games that actually run at 1080p docked on switch 1 is lower than you think. Very few games actually benefit from this update. The RE switch games all pretty much run at 1080p handheld now at least.
Now I await publishers improving the frame rate of games on Switch 2.
>>735116707NIGGA WHERE ARE THE GAMES????
>>735118053just checked and LGPE is completely blacklisted from the boost mode. exactly the same with it toggled on or off
>>735118741No, but they'll probably release a patch when the physical version releases.
>>735118985read >>735118410
>>735117458well fuck, took them long enough but thank god they did something to fix it
>>735118721Smash Ultimate looks significantly better. The 720p output really fucked with the menu UI
>>735117176Why is /v/ so fucking stupid?
>>735119050where did i mention anything about sony or microsoft
Prime Remastered looks better, was already a good looking game but the res bump is great
>>735116707Pretty sweet update.
>>735119079>>735119108This isn't the schizo anti nintendo thread anon, this is for discussing the v22 update.
>>735118923I wonder how feasible that is because all this is doing is increasing the output to be the same as the Switch 1 but the Switch 1 might not be able to handle those games at 60 fps.
WARNING: Do not activate this option if you have a Temu or otherwise very slow microsd card. Using this requires a faster microsd card than running the game in Switch 1 handheld mode, which can be done with pretty much any cheap card.
>>735118720It looks like ass docked.
>>735119147ok but where are the switch 2 games?
https://x.com/MoonSarito/status/2033719165731668162this is fucking massive for some gamesbefore
>>735119152If the frame rate is locked, you add an option to increase the cap or unlock it. Everybody's Golf did this, and while it didn't improve much on the Switch, the Switch 2 ran the game at a near consistent 60FPS. It's doable in some cases.
>>735119163Herehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_Switch_2_games>in b4 "but I don't like them"kek>>735119160What in the flying fuck are you talking about? Switch 2 uses MicroSD Express cards
>>735119215after
>>735119268>there was suppose to be waterlol wow
>>735119232That'd be pretty cool if they went that route, it'd make the Switch 2 nearly flawless if a lot of the third party Switch 1 titles got upgraded that way.
>>735119256>Switch 2 uses MicroSD Express cardsIt SUPPORTS them but does not require them for running Switch 1 games, only Switch 2 games. Activating this mode ups the requirements for Switch 1 games.
>>735119309It'd be extra work for the devs, so it's not likely to happen, but it is possible.
>>735119301Sonic Frontiers on the Switch handheld was Xenoblade 2 tier.
>>735119345>It SUPPORTS them but does not require them for running Switch 1 gamesIts OBLIGATORY to use microSD Express on switch 2 anon, regardless if you're running switch 1 or 2 games anon. You cannot use normal micro sd cards.Did you took your meds today?
>>735116995wow, its system wide optioni thought it was per game basis
>>735118994Well, dogshit game is dogshit as I thought.
How bad does it tank the already awful battery life?
>>735119345anon your picture LITERALLY says regular microSDs aren't compatible with the system
Can anyone try Dark Souls 1 Remastered or Astral Chain?I'd probably do but I'm lazy af
bros... smash looks so fucking clean on the switch 2's screen
Now we just need some sort of softmod (or even a modchip if it works) to enable support for CFW. For instance, we know that the Japanese EShop version of Bravely Default HD Remaster is uncensored, and I've love to be able to dump those files so I could easily mod them into the PC Steam version which recently released, but seemingly only launched with the global assets (even though it thankfully has full JP voice and text available) Without a Switch 2 CFW that can dump the decrypted assets, that seems less and less likely that there's an 'easy' way to mod them in unless it turns out that they're in the PC game files but just unused somewhere.
>>735119587Here's an Astral Chain comparison I found.Without boost.
Tabletop mode just got even better.
>>735116707THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT I WAS SAYING THEY SHOULD DOHOLY FUCK THANK YOU NINTENDO
>>735119587>>735119663And with.
>>735119658Here come the poorfags, kek
>>735119658Aren't you able to move games to a SD express card and try to read the files on a computer or something like that?
>>735119775they're encrypted
>>735119775>ideas guy
>>735119663>>735119716looks the same except the boost one looks like they turned on anti aliasingreally, the idea of a handheld boost sounds more appealing that the actual thing
>>735119789Well decrypt them?
>>735119716Time to do a second playthrough! thank you nintendo!
>>735119830>ideas guy with another idealmao
>>735119830now that's a damn good idea
>>735119663>>735119716>>735119834I’m still waiting for the S2 edition along the sequel announcement
What games other than xenoblade are really benefiting from this?
>>735119819In that specific case it's not as noticeable because it was done with screenshots taken with the Switch directly, which compresses them down to 720p.On the actual screen it's very noticeable.
>>735119879Sonic Frontiers.Look at this shit >>735119215 >>735119268
>>735119901Aren't screenshots 1080p on switch 2? We should notice more details
>>735119983For Switch 2 games, yes.Switch 1 games ran on the Switch 2 are still restricted to 720p screenshots for some dumb reason.
>>735119946Oh shitFirst game that I can immediately see an improvement We gotta find games that actually used the extra power in docked mode to actually see a difference
>>735120012Well that's a weird decision.
>>735119879I’ve seen the Pokemon ones really improvingI suppose Bayonetta saga too
>>735120012They need to fix this shit then, same with switch 1 games where you couldn't record video on switch 1. That restriction should have been removed for them on switch 2.
>>735119879Any visual novels as the text is now rendered at native resolution rather than muddy 720p
>>735119879DQ11 looks noticeably better.
>>735120060>>735120104Games still run on a very restricted switch 1 enviroment so everything works just like on sw1
>>735119879any game that was 1080p in docked mode, basically.
>>735119879I tried DBFZ and the art looked really crisp now in handheld mode.
>>735119879Unironically the majority of the Switch 1's library will see some benefit from this when on Switch 2.
i spend 90%+ of my switch 2 playtime in bed with wireless controllersthis is GIGABASED
>>735118721Xenoblade is probably the only series that gets an obvious, drastic benefit. Unicorn Overlord is 720p handheld but 1080p docked, so I guess it's nice to have that be a little less blurry
>>735117458Wait a minute… how about Pikmin 4? That’s probably one of the nicest looking games, docked.
>>735117176/v/rowns being this retarded as usual
>>735119879Pikmin 3.
>>735120412same and based
>>735118720Yes it looks very sharp now. Title screen looks like 1080p with no AA.
>>735120502Pikmin 4 was fineish, Pikmin 3 was the bad one there.
What I wanted one day one and as expected, a genuinely transformative update. Even though you still have to make some concessions, it largely closes the gap for games that'll probably never see Switch 2 updates - for handheld play, at least.Still hoping Sunbreak gets a dedicated patch, but the fact it doesn't look like mud in handheld any more is a huge plus. I can deal with 30FPS.
Persona 5 isn't 1080p but text UI and portraits are crisp. Graphics are noticeably less blurry. Still would prefer a dedicated switch 2 version but it's finally more than playable
>>735120221Aren't sw1/2 carts nust sw1 carts with the sw2 patch on it
The fact nintendo got away with not having this by default
>>735120657Pikmin 3 was 720p on switch docked. Pikmin 3 was a weird port since it was running a translation layer for the wii u code
>>735120743This is for games without sw2 patches, sw2 patches already make better use of the sw2 hardware
>>735116707I don't want to sound like a tinfoil hat schizo, but did they seriously have something like this "locked"? Makes me wonder what else is locked and they decide to let the public know.
>>735120714I can't imagine them doing a patch for Rise. We know Wilds is getting a S2 port and we'll probably be getting the next Portable game in a few years so they'll probably want people focusing on those instead of playing the older games.
How much does doom/witcher and other more ambitious ports benefit from this?
HAHAHAHA XENOBLADE X LOOKS BETTER WITH THIS THAN THE ACTUAL SWITCH 2 "UPGRADE"LITERALLY JUST PATCH THAT SHIT TO DISABLE THE UPSCALER HOLY FUCK, NOBODY CARES ABOUT MEME 4K RESOLUTIONS IF THEY ARE ACHIEVED THROUGH UNGODLY UGLY UPSCALING
How do pokemon fire red leaf green look?
Now that I think about it, very few games actually ran at 1080p on switch 1 docked. This feature sounds better in theory than in practice. Don't get me wrong this is a massive improvement for some games but it just made me realize how much games ran at low res on switch 1 docked.
>>735120830Probably were trying to figure out how deal with sw1 games that use motion controls/gyro pointer. Nintendo also likes to do soft launches now. Switch 1 also had a lot of updates in year 1/2 that should have just been there at launch
>>735120919Damn they still haven't fixed that sw2 version yet? Genuinely wild they messed it up that bad. Hopefully its fixed by the time the cart releases
Saints Row IV looks better but runs considerably worse. Goes from locked 60 to dropping when there's too much stuff on screen.Kill la Kill IF runs okay but has dynamic res drops below 1080p.Every 2D game I tried (Scott Pilgrim, Mr. Driller, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Arcade Archives TGM2) looks great.No More Heroes 3 still looks like ass but slightly better than before, couldn't be fucked to play it long enough to see how it ran.
>>735120930720p/900p is still an improvement from 360p/540p
>>735120919you're right that it looks better than the switch 2 patch but the switch 2 patch is 60 fps at least. hopefully the switch 2 gets fixed.
>>735120919That was the first thing I checked before t he numbered titles. Holy fuck it looks clean now.
>>735120830Realistically, a lot of it is just undergoing testing. Like, I can see why they'd lock this stuff because they'd want to make sure that handheld Switch 2 can actually hit all the metrics and emulate the environment of a docked Switch 1 without it operating weirdly on the GPU API>what elseMy guess is they maybe have a model of DLSS 1.0 that they could theoretically run over most games but they're trying to get the image stable
>>735120846Ichinose made a tweet on the official Rise account last month: https://x.com/MH_Rise_JP/status/2024408622311362858It struck me as a little odd. If they did have something being worked on, I figured it wouldn't be announced before Stories 3 launched as to not step on its toes. Of course, a lot of comments are mentioning a Switch 2 update but that's irrelevant.They did a "return to World" campaign prior to Wild's release to drum up hype, so maybe an update to Sunbreak in a similar vein isn't out of the question.
>>735120919Someone at resetera already made a comparison
>>735120932Sony did the same with a late VRR launch on PS5. Sometimes consoles get rushed out early now before all the features are finished.
>>735120992NMH3 looks better now in handheld because of the small screen compared to my big ass tv, the frame rate was already locked at 30 on switch 2, the art direction still sucks
>>735121139>>735120830Considering how many switch 1 games had regular emulation issues at launch makes sense they'd wait
>>735120929Nvidia is currently in shambles.
I have a pretty extensive library if switch 1 games if you want me to test anything out
>>735121023No I get it and you're right, it just really opened my eyes to how bad the switch 1 ran games in general. I play exclusively in handheld so I hadn't realized how close the actual gap between handheld and docked actually was.
>>735120975My guess is that either it's a DLSS1.0 implementation because they don't want to go into the code to add the extra info needed for DLSS 2.0, or it's a bad implementation of DLSS 2.0 they're trying to debug
>>735121250try Finger Buthole
Holy fucking finally.This is literally one of the Switch 2's major drawbacks I've had with it, completely fixed. Testing it out right now.The madlads actually did it, I can actually play my Switch 1 library without vomiting how. Jesus
>>735121175which is which?
switch < icky deck
>>735121217>the frame rate was already locked at 30 on switch 2Didn't KMH3 run at 60fps on switch 1? Why was it locked to 30 on switch 2? Or was it only the combat sections that ran at 60?
>>735121310Yeah it's a massive update dropped out of nowhere. Now even lazy devs who don't want to make Switch 2 versions can just update the switch 1 version to run at 1080p and unlock the frame rate to 60fps
>>735121314Switch 2 is bottom, you can tell because the upscaling is raping the fences, wires, and causing distant objects like the crane to melt
Three Houses looks sharper and better. Performance patch when KT?
>>735121250how's bayonetta 3?
Has anyone tested Dead by Daylight?
The square enix games look way better. Front mission 3 and The world ends with you work great, but the switch 2 was getting hot.
>>735121431900p 60fps in handheld now
frontiers seriously benefits from this, holy shitbefore
I got excited about 1080p handheld Okami but realised I'd have to drop the touch brush control...Oh well, at least it still looks good in handheld mode.
>>735121334is 30 on the overworld but 60 at combats, i forget that, i tested it a bit on the overworld but didn't wanted to do any battle lol
>>735121495forgot the image
>>735116707'eckgods have been doing this since forever
>>735121491fucking sweet!
>>735121426Is this with the switch 2 screenshot capture? I barely notice a difference. Even the text looks just as blurry
>>735121542Already posted ITT >>735119215>>735119268
>>735121542and after
>>735121298OK. Give me a minute
>>735121209Too bad the HDMI port on Switch 2 dock doesn't allow for VRR, because it's unacceptable that you can't get that.
>>735121569oops
Wait this is huge it means every switch game got upgraded
>>735121250Okami
>>735121560Switch 1 games still are 720p in the screenshots. Unfortunately we will notice more details with a capture card.
>>735121623Guarantee when switch 2 gets its quiet revision with a better battery it'll have hdmi 2.1 support
>>735121654Yeah, they just shadowdropped a nuke lol
>>735121549Actually never mind the max resolution for Bayonetta 3 is at a really odd 810p, still way better and a massive improvement from 480p
>>735121272It's just FSR 1.0 since nintendo licensed it before the switch 2 was even a working prototype.
>>735116707This is canonized homebrew, by the way. Switch 1 could already do this if you had it hacked and willed to play while plugged. The major issue was just battery concerns.
>>735121560Not him, but i tried it too and compared it back on forth on my S2 and its a pretty fucking noticeable difference on screen
>>735121654If they're not 1080p it's still gonna look shite
This was the only reason I was still using my switch 1 as a lot of games just looked plain bad handheld on 2
>>735121560Yeah screenshots don't really do it justice.Best option is to just take pictures with your phone, like the Xenoblade comparisons earlier on.
>>735121671I don't have it physical but downloading it now
I know this is extremely niche but how does The Blair Witch look now?
Neo Twewy looking a little bit more crispy, already ran at 60fps on switch 2
>>735121713My v1 rcm exploit switch would get real hot and the fan would go crazy doing that stuff. Mainly left my overclocking type stuff to docked mode
Oh yeah, now Doom goes from 500p to 720p.
Anyone tried the sniper elite/zombie army games?
>>735121750Just tried it myself. It has maybe slightly worse FPS drops and the render resolution is still pretty muddy, but the 1080p UI is nice.
Atelier Ryza also looks way better
>>735116912For most games, this setting either does fuck all or causes them to bug out.
>>735118479I'd sell it and get $450. Yeah, I'd sell it at MSRP, I'm not an asshole.
>>735120830It took them 4 years to add Bluetooth audio support for the Switch 1 lmao
This is going to be a selective boost, honestly. Some games in handheld barely held much for discernible differences. Others were huge and gutted the handheld mode. But, anything for a more crisp image on the shitty Switch 2 screen is a bonus I guess.
Anyone know how mh gu runs? I was gonna replay all over on pc but I might just continue with my file on switch 2 since I was super close to getting to g rank
>>735118476I'm waiting for some kind of Lite version without docking
I see zero differences in the Danganronpa trilogyBut I suppose that was expected considering it doesn’t use HD images
>>735121889Ps5 and xbox still don't have this btw
>>735121994oh bummer i was looking forward to that, not even v3?
>>735121965same fps much better visual
Where is the option?
Does something like pokemon lets go not work with this turned on?
>>735122049System settings>nintendo switch software handling
>>735119663>>735119716AC more than a resolution patch need the fucking 60fps mode.
>>735122050it just ignores the boost mode entirely
>>7351219651080p 30fps in handheld, pretty nice
>>735122050Let's go is dogshit, unless game freak releases a patch to fix the forced docked motion controls it won't work. It doesn't work with the pro controller to this day. I don't expect them to fix it.
>>735122106It looked pretty good already in 720p but 1080p is even better
>>735121250Outward would be cool or Wizardry
Might replay DQ11 now
>>735122247Does DQ11 run at 720p or 1080p?
>>735121797yeah, v1 is just a bitch for any sort of voltage fuckery. With v2 and up? literal non issue. Remember they did fix the battery concerns on those models but because v1 was out they had to keep playing by those rules. It's a bitch. Just remember how much time it took them to allow overclock speeds only for load times, which did improve them in any version of the hardware, because they were really afraid of touching the stock speeds.
>>735122284Docked goes from 720p to 810p. Handheld has an average resolution of 540p although its also dynamic.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qdm4pB-1Dlc
720p kingdom come deliverance on handheld fuck yeah!
>>735122284its definitely not 1080p, but it looks way cleaner than before
>>735116707hopefully this means switch 2 lite release soon
>just drops a big game playing feature out of nowhere with zero fanfare on a random day of the week>againwhy is nintendo like this? It's funny
>>735118210And expand Land of Morytha and make merc missions tick down even when in sleep mode and add guaranteed rare cores and make it so you don't have to menu every time you wanna level affinity skills, actually just reduce the amount of menuing in general, and make the menus faster and more responsive, and holy fuck the game needs so many changes the more I think about it
Been playing MH RIse again, and boy was this a treat. looks less crispy now
holy fuck! age of calamity is night and day!!! here it is with the boost on...
>>735122029I haven’t tried trials but at least the sprites/texts look practically the same
>>735122496... and with the boost off
Dark souls without
>>735122463nintendo is a corporation who probably doesn't even fully get the appeal of boosting switch 1 games on switch 2 and has notoriously been shit about backwards compatibility, to them it's just kinda of a "whatevs" release probably
Dark souls with
I'm gonna assume the text in paranormasight doesn't look like ass anymore lol
>>735122507>trialsSpeaking of trials, does anyone have trials rising?
>>735122574I'm pretty sure Dark Souls ran at 720 handheld/1080 docked so 720p comparison screenshots aren't going to do it any justice.
Luigi’s Mansion 3Up is before, down is after
>>735122546what a fucking difference holy shit
>>735122448lol, that would take 3-4 years at least
Oh yeah, now we’re talking
>>735122463Nintendo is the king of random ass shitthis and Splatoon Raiders announcement are peak shadowdrop news moments

>>735122496>>735122546Wasn't this already fixed with the SW2 edition? Why would you be playing without it?
>>735122685and the fucking screenshots dont really do justice as other anon already said, you have to test it by yourself
>>735122816Age of Calamity doesn't have a S2 edition.What it got was an entirely new game in Age of Imprisonment.
Okami with
>>735122816there is not switch edition for Age of calamity, you might be confused it with Age of Imprisonment, the sequel that released exclusively on Switch 2 last year

>>735122547>>735122574Dark souls is still better on switch 1 you can at least mod in not bit crushed music and sound effects
>>735123052It's 720p now and the UI and most 2D elements like menus portraits and text are 1080pIt's a massive improvement actually
>>735116707Anyone have pictures of this with Prime 1 Remastered? Looked great docked on Switch 2 but portable was way too blurry and chunky.
I can confirm miku mega mix looks much better in handheld now
>>735116707About fucking time.
Nice. Time move smt v save over
oh fuck, now i cant play Twewy Final remix handheld, only on tabletop mode lmao

Ninty enabling what people were already doing with their modded switches
>>735122570I think you're right on the money. I feel like their whole approach for a long time has been>we already released the game, why would it need to be updated
Knowing I won't be lumped with a muddy handheld experience sure makes buying older games more appealing.
Why the fuck did they drop this on a random tuesday
>>735123410This is for switch 2 anon, you can't mod a 1080p screen
When UFO 50 first dropped, if you were playing in handheld on switch 2 it would mess up the graphics leading to stretched pixels since it’s trying to render a 720p image on a 1080p screen. Because of that they put out an update that let you change the display to “pixel perfect” so it can display correctly by shrinking the screen on handheld. But now with this new update that’s been rendered unnecessary since you can just turn on handheld boost hand have it display perfectly fine at full screenThis is ultimately nothing really, but I thought it was kinda funny
>>735121229>Considering how many switch 1 games had regular emulation issues at launch makes sense they'd waitReminds me that Miitopia was completely broken for half a year on the Switch 2. It's fixed now, at least.
Can i get an update that doubles the recoding length. Please God 30 seconds is not enough
>>735123410???modded switch 1s couldn't run games at a higher resolution than 720p no matter what you did as the screen was at a max resolution of 720p and switch 2 can't be hacked?
But switch 1 games always looked fine in handheld because of the screen size. They always look like shit when you blow them up on a 65" tv
>>735123150Working on it
>>735123338How Atlus still hasn't released a patch for this game? It was a switch exclusive before!
>>735118262Is it actually in 1080p? Does turning off boost visibly look more like 720p on a 1080p screen?
multiple people with pny microsd express cards had theirs stop working after this update
>>735122749Now they just need to patch it to remove all of the effects/filters they had to implement to hold back their game on substandard hardware.
I just ran Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen on the Switch 2 and I'm so glad I bought this console

>>735116707From my testing any game with rough jaggies get absolutely get cleaned up... ruffy and the riverside looks really clean and saints row 3 n 4 look really good inhandheld as well with the patch. When it isnt crashing.
Burnout Paradise gone from 720p to 900p
>>735123564Oh fuck I need to replay DD again now
>>735121623the dock itself does support vrr, you can connect it to other devices and output vrr properly, the issue is the handshake between the dock and the console usb c.
I've been playing all of my Switch 1 games on the OLED because there's no advantage to playing them on the 2 if there's no update. Looking at some of these screenshots, the bump in resolution looks worth it for some games. You'd think Nintendo would have made a bigger deal out of this.
>>735123517>Switch 1 handheld max resolution - 720p(most games commonly were only 540p)>Switch 1 docked max resolution - 1080p>Switch 2 handheld max resolution - 1080p.Playing Switch 1 games(that didn't have an update) in handheld mode was pure ass

>>735123620Not until the oled model. It's worth waiting for the better battery life anyway, in my opinion.
>>735123331I've noticed that the switch 2 uses the screenshot quality of the switch one for some reason when it's in backward compatibility mode.Switch 2 games don't have this issue.
>>735123741>for some reasonBecause it literally in Switch mode.
>Guilty Gear Strive without jaggies

Mario 3D All Stars Galaxy/Sunshine 1080p handheld
>>735123741YepAny comparison screenshots using the capture feature look like shitYou need an actual external capture card to do a decent comparison
>>735123462>>735123502I'm not saying people were doing this with switch 2 and at 1080p. I'm saying what they're enabling is essential what people did with their switches
>>735119680Post more Peach and Daisy kino
>>735123769Yes, but the screenshot should look way better.As an example, MH2S looks pretty crispy on the sw2, but the screenshots look like ass.It doesn't look like this in person.

>>735123798Waiting for the franchise to sell, most likely :(
>>735123970Either 2 or 3 please
It's stupid they didn't have this feature ready for launch, switch docked max resolution was 1080, switch 2 screen is 1080, it's such an obvious fit
>>735123879What aren't you getting here?. The screenshot function uses the Switch's screenshot specification while in Switch mode - which includes the resolution and compression settings.It's not "for some reason", it's literally "the reason".
>>735124009:c
>>735124007The in-game capture does not do it justice or shows what a massive improvement this update has done to XC2 in handheld
>>735123724If Duskbloods has a good launch I'll probably cave in and buy one. FromSoft PVP is always best near launch before all the metafags ruin it. It's not ideal but I'll just resell the og and buy an OLED whenever they decide to release it.
>>735123896MGS Collection already got patched last month to make use of the Switch 2's hardware, you can enable the option for 1080p/60fps in the menu.
Anyone has Fatal Frame 4 or 5?
>>735124090Oh cool must have missed that, I will buy them next time I see them on sale then
>>735123798>They really need to make a S2 update that supports mouse controlsfuuuuuuuuck! they released that remaster in the wrong generation!!!
>>735124037The most likely answer is that switch 1 emulation still wasn't great at launch. Some games were still crashing for example.
>>735123568Much appreciated, the improvement is really nice here
>>735124171as another anon said, the screenshot system of the console sucks, is even better that it looks like
>>735118741that's a man
>>735123612even with the ridiculously low power draw of handheld mode, it doesn't look too bad. retro knows how to use the switch 1 hardware
>>735124090Did it get a resolution bump too? This is without
Where's all the Gamecube/GBA/N64 games? The selection they have is disgracefully small. Glad I'm not paying full price for it.
Excited for Dragon Quest XI S to be playable
Octopath Traveler doesn't look it's smeared in vaseline anymore
>>735124507They have almost every first party N64 game up, they're just missing SSB and 2 DK games I think
>>735124456>>735124475these are hard to tell from screenshotsi need to test it out myself in person
well this update is good enough to finally put to rest my 2017 switch. I was still using it because many games looked like ass on switch 2 screen despite the framerate improvement. Good night sweet prince, you were truly the best
>>735124676Those got updated for switch 2 a couple weeks ago anyways 1080p 60 handheld
>>735124685Mod it and turn it into a chinkheld lol
>>735124456>>735124475These are running on switch 2 mode already hence the 1080p screenshot, update only work on switch 1 mode.
>>735124747Is there a softmod yet or do you still need to short out the pins
>>735123639Looks better still wish it wasn't it wasn't so aliased
>>735124653Nintendo leaked smash bros 8 months ago and it's still not here
This could've been a MASSIVE drop at a direct, its so weird how nintendo does things recently.
Witcher 3 actually looks playable now
Why didn't you fucks call them out for how ugly switch 1 games looked on the 2. This has been a thing since day 1
>>735124535Doesn't run at 1080p but it's an improvement atleast
>>735116882BASED
>>735124842Nintendo doesn't care. We take whatever they decide to grace us with.
>>735124823Nintendo has gone full retarded with the Switch 2's marketing. I don't understand what's Furukawa's issue with Directs, the app thing clearly isn't working.
>>735124824>Witcher 3 actually looks playable now>720p nowyeah it's still ugly but it's actually playable now
>>735124685Eh my switch 1 still is good to trade Pokemon between games to evolve them...
>>735121426>Performance patch >On your dollar store persona jarpigjee
>>735124823Getting it out of the way to go into heavy Mario movie marketing they are probably freaking out about the war cutting into people going to see it
>>735124165The cynical answer is they were waiting for vouchers to be phased out.
Don't rely on the screenshot function for comparison. S2 saves screenshots as small 720p jpgs Bottom is with update. The difference is much noticeable on the eyes.
>>735116882dumb tomoposter
>>735124842>Why didn't you fucks call them outThere's a reason why this feature was added in the new system update
Oh oh I wanted to replay skyward sword could someone please check how that one does?
>>735124926>they are probably freaking out about the war cutting into people going to see ithuh? did nintendo have that big of an Iran fanbase?
>>735124823A disconnect between their engineers and their marketers maybe? (who as usual don't actually realize what their markets want)>>735124842Oh but I did. I got a Switch 2 only recently, when they sold it for 30% off in one of our retail outlets here. I've been shitting on its backwards compatibility from the very start, especially since a hacked Switch 1 could already do it.
One piece pirate warriors 3 is great now
Could a kind anon let me know if there's a difference with the Apollo Justice trilogy?
Now just some games need their frame rate unlocked
>>735124823Just Furukawa things
>>735124861i'll take it
>>735117413>>735117458Impressive
Lol you guys are overhyping xenoblade 2. Polished dogshit is still dogshit. It desperately needs a patch instead. The fact there are even people genuinely playing it in handheld mode like that before this update
>>735125226This and the audio fix are the only things I still need for Dark Souls to be perfect. I wish Bamco wasn't so fucking inept at handling their own games.
>>735123708because smash unmodded and without the latency adjuster feels like shit to play and looks like shit
Just play locally if you care about tournefags
>>735124842It was one of the most common complaints. Its not new to handhelds however. Ds games looked like shit on 3ds and psp games looked like shit on vita
Biggest benefit for this is text. Text looks terrible on most switch 1 games on the switch 2 screen
>>735123708People don't play smash in handheld>>7351254
>>735125491At this just port the entire ds trilogy onto switch 2. If bandai hasnt fixed the sound on darks souls by now they won't ever. On a modded switch one theres a mod that fixes it
>>735125619Yeah UIs will finally look crisp in any game now
>>735118839This neat for now but theres a whole switch 2 version coming that would do this anywya
>>735125662I do always
could you give me suggestions on the best screen protectors that don't hinder the screen. Ive never bought one cause I kid you not my s1 has no scratches and I treat that thing like trash. With my s2, I try my hardest to be careful and just now am noticing scratches. I thought with how durable the s1 was, it'd be the same for 2
>>735125758Yeah but now you don't gotta pay 20 bucks for half assed extra content
>>735119587Honestly would be the perfect port if they made a 60fps patch and fixed the low quality audio.
>>735118741No, they've essentially made it more obsolete.
>>735125209yes, the game is just lower res in handheld mode and now it's full HD. But again, barely you can tell in these screenshots. Much more obvious in-game
>>735121426That's good. Couldn't play it because of how bad it looked in handheld mode
>>735121139Why DLSS 1? It looks like ass.
Too lazy to take a photo but blue reflection gets a significant boost.
i don't know why but 13 sentinels seems to be runnning at 60 fps now
>>735120930Works wonders for those games that ran above 720p and even 60fps. Monster Hunter Stories 2 now runs at 1080 60fps in portable mode, same with DKCTF which was 640p before. Mario Kart 8 looks much much nicer now as well
curious about unicorn overlord because it was kinda blurry before
>>735126120It was always 60 fps anon.
>>735121671Switch 2 would be the best platform for Okami if they updated it to have mouse controls
>>735125875NTA but can you post screenshots from the apollo justice game because the sprites were all pixelated in handheld mode
>>735121272Its badly implemented SMAA. Whatever DLSS version that AAA games use looks much nicer than XCX
>>735121229I think there are still some. The Hat Time girl game is broken on S2.
>>735125875Bitchin'
>>735126214i swore it ran at 30 fps when i first played it on my OG switch back in 2022
>>735126225the seamless mouse to controller on the joycon 2 would be ideal
>>735121817They need switch 2 patches ASAP.No reason not to, should look a decent bit better than PS4 at 60fps still
>>735118721Fuck, Club House Games probably looks great now. Wooly World. American Fugitive. The Dragon Quest Unreal Shit Engine remakes. New Super Mario DX. Mario Kart 8.
>>735124842I did, I stated it as one of my biggest issues with the system when it launched, in fact I outright avoided playing switch 1 games on it that didn't have patches/2 editions, I called sonic crossworlds in handheld unironically eyewatering until it got the switch 2 edition
You'd think a major update like this would be included and even headline a Direct
Now valkyra chronicles wont be jaggy
What a time to buy another Switch 2
All the RE games run perfectly on switch 2 now, 1080p and 60fps in handheld for most of them!
>>735126242night and day
>>735126439I don't think they headline updates like this in directs, ever.
>>735126457>Now valkyra chronicles wont be jaggy>1080p 30fps in handheld nowBought it years ago but never got around to playing it, is it a good game?
>>735126524NTA but thanks, I might pick up Investigations next time it goes on sale now.
Can someone test pixel art games to see if they look sharper? like the latest gba pokemon ports for example, or ufo 50, I remember some people saying that the scaling was off in that game
Does Stein's Gate run at 1080p now? Most of the game is one big FMV or is that still stuck at 720p?
Nintendo won
It seems they will keep working on this shit, hopefully they add a toggle on the home button quick menu>inb4 who the fuck would want to go back?i mean, this will consume more battery obviously, a toogle could act as a battery saver mode
>>735116882Still buying a Switch 2
Ace Combat 7 looks pretty sharp now. OG handheld mode looked like ass in the Switch 2's larger screen.
>>735126593I don't notice any difference in leaf green, but it already looked perfect I'm pretty sure it already rendered at 1080p
>>735126875FRLG are switch 1 games so their max resolution in handheld was 720p, they now run at 1080p in handheld with the update Not really noticeable but still nice
>>735126848Is this a good time to download ace combat for the s2?
Maybe it will make KCD less awful in handheld.I am still pissed they haven't released a Switch 2 upgrade.
>>735116967Probably not as much of a hit as you think. Docked mode really just clocks up the CPU, but the screen is like 80-95% of the power consumption of the Switch (or all portable devices, really). You might go from 3.5 hours on a full charge to 3.
>>735119775>>735119789>>735119830>>735119775>>735119789>>735119830What other anons are insinuating is that you can't just decrypt Switch2 games at this point. On the original Switch, once you were able to launch custom firmware (which took either a soft or hard mod of some sort, made so much easier by the RCM mode being able to be triggered if you had literally a paperclip or other small jig and then something to launch the payload in the USB slot) there were homebrew applications like Lockpick_RCM that did just that, extracting all those encryption keys. On Switch 2, we don't have an easy way to trigger RCM mode, or an as of yet public exploit sufficient for users to inject some sort of payload, so no decrypting or dumping game images, no CFW, no anything thus far. Hopefully in time users will figure out an easier way forward and I've seen a handful of early experiments extremely limited to a couple of firmware versions but we'll have to see.
>>735126904>FRLG are switch 1 games so their max resolution in handheld was 720pI figured it was a mario galaxy 1+2 situation where it's a switch 1 game but renders 1080 on switch 2
I hope you guys realize you're all doing the Pam its the same picture meme rn with these comparisons
>>735124954Yes, 1080 nowI saw it on xitter
>>735116707very nice. i play a lot of 2d games on my s2 so this sharpened them all up. i started replaying kero blaster a few days ago and it was so blurry lol.
Botw and Totk without the paywalled upgrades look pretty good now, stable framerate on kakariko and lost woods and cristal clear UI and fine details.Too lazy to post comparison screenshots, sorry
>>735117980Would be great, but IIRC this one is complicated by the fact the switch is outputting video over usb-c which the dock converts to hdmi
>>73512727060fps is still god tier, playing the games at 30fps just doesn't feel right anymorePlus BotW and TotK ran at 900p docked not 1080p. Only way for them to run at 1080p is by the upgrade pack
>>735126929It could use a 60fps mode, but other than that I have no complaints. If you already own the game or can get it for cheap, now is a good time to check it out.The same goes for several other games which didn't look great with the Switch 2's 1080p screen (Crysis, Metro, Crash Bandicoot/Team Racing, DQXIS), if were on the fence about them before.
>>735127098Switch 2 captures switch 1 games screenshots at 720p, so yes they look miles better in hand than through the on system capture
….so how’s the battery drain difference?
it's funny Nintendo launch a useful feature after the AI slop shit that DLSS 5 is by Nvidia.
can someone do metroid dread comparisons?
>>735127425fuck im really tempted to get itis the deluxe version worth?

>>735127825great now I need to hold back playing every single switch 2 game in handheld so I can play them at 1440p on the switch 3 I'm joking
mh rise looks very clear in handheld now, at least my first impression.
Daemon X Machina
You definetely need to test your games by yourself, the improvement is there, but the switch shitty screenshots dont do it justice. Sure proper patches are still needed but this update is still awesome
>>735127979
>>735127970Fine I'll finally buy sun break...
>>735127786Bananza or Hyrule Warriors

>Update is so good that anons aren't even shitposting. Wtf.
>>735128102not much material, desu
>>735128102Too late in Brazil
>>735127747The Deluxe version is the only version available on the Switch, it's just the base game + season pass. The game is a bit old, so I'm not sure about paying full price for it, but there should be plenty of cheap physical copies around. If you want the digital version, I'd suggest waiting for a sale and/or abusing the shit out of regional prices.https://eshop-prices.com/games/14836-ace-combat-7-skies-unknown-deluxe-edition?currency=USD
>>735127786There aren't that many 3rd party carts yet, these + mario tennis and a-train
>>735128102Well I fucked that greentext. In any case this is rare for /v/ to test games and not fight in a thread.
>>735128190It's a genuinely good update and breathes life into a shit ton of games that were borderline unplayable before. Plus it's fun to go back and see games that ran like shit on switch 1 look and play better now.
>>735128102The same new update has also some neat stuff>Added the ability to see the breakdown of storage capacity by data type for the system memory and microSD Express card.>>The following features were added to Airplane Mode:>When Airplane Mode is activated, the previously set preferences for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or NFC while in Airplane Mode will be saved and applied.>Added the ability to individually enable or disable Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or NFC during Airplane Mode from the Quick Settings.Enabling Handheld Boost from the Quick settings would be nice too since I'd like to use touchscreen whenever I'm playing my VNs.
>>735117537Someone already did it but this is switch 2 with the upgrade
>>735128380Those airplane mode options are a god send since I turn off WiFi all the time to save battery, but still need it for some titles
Wish the setting was easier to toggle.
I just played through Tales of Graces F and refused to play in handheld because it looked like ass, so I just popped in to test and damn does it look leagues better now.
trying mh rise (need to get to sunbreak dlc)the rewards screen is so crisp, you can tell it's higher resolution. very good patch, need to test some switch 2 titles though as well if they also act like docked mode (1080p)
>>735117537And with the new setting on(no upgrade pack)
>rare footage of /v/rowns playing videogames for once
>>735128380>Added the ability to individually enable or disable Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or NFC during Airplane Mode from the Quick Settings.Good, now I can use my Bluetooth earphones while flying
>>735116707
>>735128605>>735116707
>>735128380>still no volume slider on tv mode
>>735128672just use your tv remote retard
>>735127716i just tested metroid prime, but metroid dread is also looking so much better
>>735128380>can turn on airplane mode and it'll automatically keep audio bluetooth onOh thank god.These are genuinely just nice anti-frustration features.I'm going to get some extra usage out of my switch 2 this week I guess (I've already been using it a lot for Pokopia, MH Stories 3 and RE9 but I guess I'm banging out a my annual XB1 playthrough early)
>>735128727I lose that thing constantly, how difficult it is to add a simple volume slider.
>>735128734DAMN!!
>>735128836Just as difficult as not losing your remote
doesnt this also mean 1080p for switch 2 titles in handheld as well? or if they had a lower docked setting
I’m still holding out hope we can actually get themes.
>>735128895I want the switch 2 install music back, it's good.
>>735128734Nice thanks anon
>>735128892It's only for the switch 1 games. Switch 2 power draw in dock mode would be too much in handheld mode.
>>735128889Fair
someone should compare botw/totk + boost vs switch 2 versions.
>>735125701To be fair, now is the ideal window of opportunity for a lot of companies to go back and patch old games to get a second wind in sales.Just release a patch with fixed audio (steal it from Nexus mods or something) and unlock the frame rates + bump the resolution. Then tie the patch announcement with something else in a Nintendo Direct, like a release date for Elden Ring or ports for Dark Souls II and III. Bamco is too much of a shit company to do it, but it would be basically free money.
>>735125701Why sell an upgrade when they can sell a switch 2 edition
DLSS On/OffVsBoost On/OffNintendoes what Nvidyadont
I wonder about the heat dispensation though. The dock has fans to help with overheating. This is going to break someone's console isn't it?
>>735129434wow, that's such a bad portable mode on the switch 1, holy shit. this game needed this so bad
>>735129536>the dock has fansEh, I don't think so, it's just plastic and a pcb
>>735129649It absolutely has a fan.
>>735129530Lol
>>735129702wtf I just looked it up and it actually does, is it really that quiet?
>>735129649bro
This kills the switch 2 upgrade money making scheme.
>>735129791I watched that and I think I just forgot about it, that's cool I guess, one more thing to worry about.
>>735129536the SoC in the switch 2 is not gonna get dangerously hot by running switch 1 games at 1080p, seeing as it doesn't get dangerously hot running much more intensive switch 2 games at 1080p.
>>735129536It's a switch 1 game. It also still has a fan in handheld mode. It will be fine.
>>735129808unless it needs a 60fps patch
>>735129808you might want it for the tv mode upgrade
>>735129808Not quite. It massively improves most games in handheld mode, but docked mode can still look like shit depending on the game, especially in a TV. Several games would also benefit from 60fps patches and complete overhauls to the graphics, like Witcher 3 for example.
>>735129536The dock's fans are for cooling the dock itself not the console. Regardless the Switch 2's fans shouldn't have any problem dealing with running Switch 1 games in docked specs in the slightest
Does this affect Splatoon at all?
>>735130146Don't think it would since they already patched it
I'm testing XC2 and XC3 right now and I'm literally cumming my pants
>>735126318Was essentially broken on switch 1
>>735126501I just played re6 for first time and already thought it looked pretty clean in handheld. Shame about the actual game though
>>735126875I would actually prefer the option to play at native gba resolution but I'm also autistic and hate raw pixels
oh, how is pokemon violet btw?
>>735130605That already had a Switch 2 update. Doesn't affect it.
>>735130583>native gba on a 1080p screenBased
>>735128380fascinating that airplane mode turned off NFC in the first place, guess it was a matter of better safe than sorry but there's nary a chance it would actually interfere with anything unless purposefully brought in close proximity with sensitive equipment
any botw non switch 2 upgrade comparisons?
>>735130605Pokemon scarlet and violet update is free isn't? Kinda pointless to use a dock mode over it.
>>735129536>>735129702>>735129791the switch 1 dock absolutely did not have a fan, so there's little reason for concern
>>735129808not exactly, many games will still be stuck locked at 30fps without them, and obviously tv mode gains nothing, there is of course also textural/upscaling/LOD upgrades you'll be missing out on, in cases of great switch 2 editions such as sonic crossworlds the switch 2 edition handheld quality greatly exceeds the switch 1's docked
switch RE games look fucking gorgeous now, wish more developers were lazy retards as capcom and had left their games unlocked on switch even if the console were never capable of reaching 60 fps
it makes so many games actually worth getting on a switch 2 now because the reason your buying is for the handheld mode
>>735129964I would kill for a rerelease physical of Witcher 3 on the Switch 2, the next gen edition would be perfect because the console even has raytracing.
>>735130854The Switch 2 dock has fans though, so it makes one wonder about the heat this will cause
honestly it makes me salty over the tens of hours i wasted playing switch 1 games handheld on the switch 2 before this update. we deserved this at launch.i'm glad nintendo is making meaningful technical improvements in updates but i get the feeling they really only did it so they wouldn't have to keep updating their back catalog just to make it all 1080p handheld.
>>735131283if the dinky switch 1 fan can handle it the better switch 2 fan can
>>735131297It's for sure going to improve eshop sales
>>735131297I don't know how but I knew this would come so I just didn't play any games without upgrade patches, it worked first for RDR and then XBCX, now the whole library, pretty cool desu
>>735131297>but i get the feeling they really only did it so they wouldn't have to keep updating their back catalog just to make it all 1080p handheld.They updated donkey kong and animal crossing just two months ago, have HOPE. I feel like this was mainly for 3rd party abandonware
Cool update, hope it doesn't mess too much with the battery performance. It's a nice option to have regardless.
so does this completely disable touch input in games when you enable it?if you've fucked with reversenx or emulators then you know they SHOULDN'T have to disable touch input for this to work. they don't have to emulate a pro controller with the joycons for them to work either. just seems like a paranoid thing they did for shittily programmed third party games.
>>735131529mario galaxy all stars touch input was working
Doom Eternal is playable in handheld nowBefore
>>735131529i tried Mario Galaxy (3d all stars version) and touchscreen still works
>>735131574>>735131589does the game look any different though? for some games like mario maker 2 they've just set it to ignore the toggle and stay in handheld mode.
>>735131578After
>>735131578Too bad DOOM 2016 looks like dogshit even on tv mode
After this Astral Chain only needs a 60fps patch.
>>735131723prease understandu asteral chain was made with cinematic 30fps in mind
>>735131621not bad, I picked this one up through an eshop sale a while ago
>>735131297I guess? I saw something like this coming 2 to 4 months after launch, not nearly a year later. However it's not like I had *bad* experiences playing Switch 1 games. I saw someone in this thread mention Pikmin 4, and how it looks incredible *docked* but I play it in handheld and I love the way it looks? idk why you would be upset.
>>735131876>but I play it in handheld and I love the way it looks?pikmin 4 got a patch that made it native res in handheld
