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.
>>735132198That's bretty cool.
>>735132334Dang, that's a huge difference for Astral Chain.I need to try some games that were disastrous in handheld mode like Neptunia.
>>735132268>gormott handeld mode
I've been playing MH Rise again so this is gonna be cool to try
>>735132231christ i forgot how atrocious gen 8 looked, fucking unhinged it released on the same console the same year as >>735132334
>>735132673Gen 8 deserved all the hate they got. Sun and moon on the 3ds looked better
Damn I wouldn't have bought the skyrim upgrade if I knew this was coming. Will probably just go back to the switch version anyways because the sw2 version is 50gb for some reason
>>735132403Black crush on bottom?
Haven't noticed much of a difference on MHGU
>>735133007You lose the pixel level detail so the contrast tanks.
>>735132198Oh neat it's actually worth buying now.Still not falling for buying a v1.0 Nintendo system again though.
>>735133007You don't need to tell us about your crush on blacks.
>>735133142You're better off waiting for a refresh with better battery life, because this new performance mode is gonna drain it like crazy.
>graphics matter again now!
>>735133241>free update that makes your old games look and run better bad
>>735133294How does that make the games more fun you graphics whore?
>>735132638Oh okay that looks way better
>>735133320I can actually see the game.
>>735132198>Nintendo gets better comparison pics than Nvidia
>>735133007Wolfenstein 2 does the same thing. Image is quite a bit darker while docked.
>releasing an update that bumps graphics in all games for freeSo fucking retarded. Nintendo fans are already willing to pay for each individual update as seen with the switch 2 upgrade updates, why suddenly give them all for free?
>>735133368Only graphics whores play games with their eyes open
>>735133368Why did it take you 9 years to suddenly develop standards?
>>735133447I never played certain games in handheld mode on Switch 1 when the hit to resolution was too big.
>>735133391
I saw sonic frontiers has effects that are only in docked mode. Any other examples of this?
>>735133421Good for the customers.And it’s not retarded. A lot of Switch 1 games couldn’t hit 1080p in docked mode, not to mention 60FPS.Updates that bring the game to 1080p60 in handheld and 4K60 in docked are still viable
>>735133007lower quality shaders often literally means less shading, the base texture is just a pastel color and they rely on the shaders for all of the actual color depth.
Going back to some of these panic button ports has me real exciting to see what they're capable of on sw2
>>735133639I'm expecting Doom The Dark Ages, likely when the DLC comes out.
>>735132198Why didn't they do this instead of those goofy switch 2 ""upgrades""?
Test
>>735133731The upgrades increase resolution and frame rate beyond Switch 1 docked.
>>735132198Switch 2 emulator when
Switch 2 OLED or refresh when?
That's pretty great stuff, if Switch 2 games like DK Bananza can run on 1080/60fps handheld, then there's no reason why Switch 1 games couldn't do it as wellMHGU looks pretty crisp handheld now
Masaka, they evolved beyong the PSP era!
>>735133731Because this isn't 4K or 60 for games that don't already run at that. Or improved loading times and whatever other things.
What games other than 2d shit and old ports actually run at full 1080p on sw1?
Fire Emblem Engage needed this badly. It looks much better now. Faces aren't pixelated messes now.
You can easily tell if a Switch 1 game supports Boost Mode or notJust tap the screen with your finger, if Boost Mode is active and supported then it will tell you that touch screen features are disabledGod damn this is good shit, Bayonetta games and especially Bayonetta 3 actually looks crisp handheld mode now, on top of having already better and more stable FPS due to Switch 2, before Boost Mode was a thing
thats pretty cool but where is my switch 2 hd texture patch for xenoblade 2 and translation fix?
>>735134214>Just tap the screen with your finger, if Boost Mode is active and supported then it will tell you that touch screen features are disabledWait doesn't this mean the Super Mario Galaxy touch-screen bullshit in handheld mode is now able to be disabled?
>>735134113Yeah, but every games gets to have it so technically its superior?
>>735134308Boost Mode won't work on Mario Galaxy games I think, those two ports already run at 1080pBut I haven't tested it on those so feel free to correct me
>>735134136https://nintendo.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_games_presented_in_1080p_/_1440pNotable ones without dedicated Switch 2 upgrades:>Lego City Undercover>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe>Hyrule Warriors DE>Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze>Smash Ultimate>Luigi's Mansion 3>The Wonderful 101>Mario Strikers Battle League>Super Mario RPG remake>Mario vs Donkey Kong remake
someone post regular switch 1 botw comparison
Metroid Prime Remastered look better than ever handheld, although it already looked pretty great before Boost Mode
>>735134380>The Wonderful 101but I already platted the whole game on my steam deck...
>>735134434Right, it runs in the same resolution/frame rate as the Switch 2 Edition of Prime 4 in handheld quality mode now. I wish they'd do Prime 2 and 3 as well.
Tendie won.
I'm curious. What are the games that absolutely eat through the battery in boost mode?
>>735134618Every single one of them I thinkTo be honest i play 100% handheld, I just limit battery charge to 90% and I just leave it plugged at all times when playing
someone post Kingdom Come Deliverance please.
it's great because I was using a 4K monitor for my switch 2 now I can just play in handheld for the 1080p switch games
>>735132198wtfwhy is this shit freehow will my grifters friends make content and money about nintendo slander now???this is fucking shameful.
Works on Luigi's Mansion 3, and as expected shit looks amazing
I might finish legends Arceus finally never made it to Volo boss fight
Oh, nice. I was putting off continuing to play Hundred Line until they patch it because 720p sprites stretched out to a 1080p looked really blurry and had frayed edges, but now it looks great
>Here are 4480 free Switch 1 remasters broWhat the fuckHow are they so based?
>>735132198How can Memedeck even compete?
>>735133807uh oh stinky
>>735133807When Switch 3 comes out, so 2035 or something
>>735134954>It should've been there at launch>Battery lasts less than an hour>They'll use this as an excuse not to do more Switch 2 upgradesetc
This is a fucking huge feature to drop without announcement...This makes Xenoblade 2 actually playable right?
>>735134113Don't you generally get a framerate boost on Switch 2 anyway for games that aren't stable?
>>735135439Not really, because you will be playing on a switch with the awful joycons
>>735135501You do, on Bayonetta 3 for instance (which didn't get any S2 updates), just running the game on Switch 2 means actual stable FPS
>>735132198>a feature hacked switches have had for YEARSsasuga 'tendo, I'm sure all the chikin tendies will eat this up
>>735135528Works on my non-obese fingers.
>>735135528Joycon 2 are awesome thoughbeit
>>735135229Nintendo has been based since the Wii U era
>>735132198I own so few Switch 1 games though
>>735135565So, what’s bad about this for you to get pissy?The games are also running with maxed out resolution and framerate
>>735132198ok cool but i play docked 99% of the time
>>735135565Can you hack a 1080p screen?
>>735132673And somehow they managed to make Gen 9 even fucking uglier.
Why wasn’t this a thing from the start? The console launched unfinished lmao
>>735135825>we went from "Digital Foundry said the Switch 2 won't be backwards compatible" to "why didn't they have handheld boost mode for Switch 1 games at launch?"
Gonna try Diablo 2Still gonna be 30fps but hopefully better visuals
Tendie made fps >>735132403>>735132403>>735132403>>735132403
>>735135896>stop having expectations goyDo you own stock or something?
>Could beat Torna the Golden Country from the comfort of my own bed without needing to squint the entire time, since I never actually finished it.Neat.
>>735132198Rare nintendo win following digitalfoundrys suggestion
>>735135948>>735132198Speaking of Torna
>>735136002
>>735136002>>735136037looks good
>>735135825Cope retardNintendo raped you
>>735135896Because the backwards compatibility wasn't fucking ready at launch? Did you forget games were crashing?
>>735136002>>735136037there's some weird shit going on with your "before" pictures, looks like a LOOKIN' GOOD filter
>>73513614999% of games were already fine at launch. The grift prerelease was that there wouldn't be backwards compatibility at all, or only for digital games.
>>735135501Yes. The point of this is that if you played in handheld mode you were stuck with 720p (Or sometimes as low as like 240p in the Xenoblade games) on a 1080p screen and it looked horrifically bad on it. This now forces them to be their docked TV settings which were virtually all 1080p minimum. If you had the Switch 2 docked you already got all these benefits, this is just for handheld mode.
>>735136168That's just Xenoblade 2's lower res in general in handheld mode. For some reason they have a super aggressive antialiasing solution to fight jaggies that ends up smearing the whole thing together instead of simple low res.
>>735136168XC2 uses aggressive sharpening in handheld mode, that's actually what it looks like
Btw it's not only a resolution bump, it also affects graphics quality because it thinks it's just running in docked mode, so longer view distance and some games even renders more stuff that it didn't before in handheld like more grass or whatever etc etc. Pretty cool free update wtf.
Cool update. Sucks that they waited a year to release it but maybe I’ll actually replay Xenoblade 2 now since the kikes will most likely charge for a performance patch that I won’t pay for.
This completely fixes Xeno 2 and Xeno 3 in handheld holy shit
let me guesswith this option the battery life goes down to like 2 hours
>>735136564It's probably still not as bad as an intensive Switch 2 game
>>735136564Nowhere near as fast as a native Switch 2 game
>>735136564If you want to use this option extensively you're prepared to hook it up to an outlet.
>>735136564The warning it gives when turning it on does say it will lower battery time, yeah, though I doubt it's by any significant amount or a Switch 2 game.
Actual game changer out of nowhere for free.Nintendo won.
any buff for three houses/ xeno definitive edition?
>>735136002Just tried XC2 myself, honestly looks so much better it's crazy
>>735136856
Damn it's true some games have more effects and render more stuff in handheld now. Goated update.
How is it performance wise? Stable 30 fps with (literally) no drops? I might finally buy a Switch if that's the case
A lot of the comparisons being posted don't do the update justice as they're done using the Switch's internal screenshot system, which outputs compressed 720p screenshots.Pictures of the screen make it more obvious.
>>735136974I tried a bunch of games and they still run the same as they did before, they just look way better
>>735136982
>>735136974Frame rate being stabilized at its cap was already the case for every Switch 1 game running on Switch 2 barring the most hilarious disasters like Ark.
>>735132198This realistically should have been something it had on release and there's no excuse for it not.
>>735136974If it runs well in docked on the Switch 2 this is literally just that but running while you hold it in handheld. So basically everything should be as stable as expected unless a game was just that bad on Switch 1 docked while running on the S2.
>>735136982>>735137016Oh that's a lot better wow
>>735136982>>735137016holy shit bro finally these games are playable again
>>735136982>>735137016Can you turn it on and off mid game?
>they can add a feature to enable 1080p for switch games in handheld mode>they can not disable automatic resolution that forcing 480p 4:3 SD if the console fails the HDMI handshake in docked mode
>>735137102I think so yes, it's easy to toggle on/off
>>735137016Wonder if there are any other games that get a glow up as big as this
>>735137130Bayonetta 3
>>735137102Yeah, you can go to settings and change the toggle, then go back to the game and the mode will instantly update.
Btw an unrelated thing about the update. It now remembers bluetooth wifi and nfc airplane settings and all individualsettings show up in the quick settings menu
>>735137205What’s that even mean?
>>735137284If you used airplane mode before, every time you turned it off and on you would have to manually turn on bluetooth every time if you for example wanted to use a bluetooth headset or whatever. It now remembers the setting so you don't have to do it again.
>>735137284It means when you turn on airplane mode your controllers/wireless headphones won't disconnect and you can toggle weather NCF gets turned on or off too
What a great update to get shadow dropped. Looks really good.
>>735132439Does astral chain get better fps on Switch 2? I never finished it because I was doing other stuff
>>735137460Yes in the sense that it holds 30 fps much better, but there's been on S2 patch so it can't go to 60.
Playing text heavy games like xenoblade on handheld mode sounds horrible to begin with
>>735137460It's a locked 30fps game so no.
>>735137460No, it's capped at 30fps so it can't go higher without that cap being manually increased by developers. Bayonetta 3 was uncapped and mostly ran in the 40s so now it runs at a stable 60.
DQM3 is so much nicer handheld now holy shit.
>>735137517I used to think that but once you try it it's not an issue at all, you can read everything fine, unless you're 80 years old I guess
>>735137517Depends on text visibility options. The Xenoblade games have generally large UI elements, you can really tell by comparing X on Wii U and X DE. I have no issues playing games handheld with that font size.
What third party games should I buy that now run amazing in handheld mode?
>>735137517They can scale the UI separately of the 3D graphics, and frankly if you could run visual novels on the damn PSP, it's easy peasy on the Switch.
switch 2 is crazy good today!
>>735136982>>735137016What's the FPS like now?
Tried Legends Arceus. Holy moly bro, it's night and day. Way way less aliasing.
Screenshots will never do this update justice because the small screen makes the near universal 1080p upgrade look significantly better
>>735137603Xenoblade chronicles 2 and Bayonetta 3 seem to be the big winners
>>735137703A lot of switch 1 games actually look better in handheld than docked now
>>735137703Yeah, even the above attempts to capture it with a camera is still one of those things that you don't really grasp til you actually see it on a system screen proper. Now if only the Switch 2 screen was better than Switch 1's.
All Xenoblade games look beautiful now what an insane surprise update
>>735137603the wonderful 101
>>735137721The assassins creed games also look really fucking good nowBlack Flag looks better in handheld than the PS4 version did
This is a graphicschad thread, gameplaytroons get the fucking rope.
Would be funny as fuck if Handheld Switch 1 Xenoblade X was better than the Switch 2 version now
>>735137735how is that possible
>>735137913Switch 2 Edition still has the advantage of 60fps.
>>735137929Small screen makes 1080p look better than big screen
>>735137913it literally does kek>>73513793930fps is better than the dog shit AI smearing
>>735137929small screen means pixels are really really close to each otherwhich means crispier looks
>>735137958what if i only have a 24 inch 1080p monitor?
>>73513802424 inch is 3x bigger than switch 2 screen, so yes it still applies lol
I don't play in handheld mode, so I don't really care about this update.
Can we get another separate boost mode for framerate next? Do it Nintendo.
>>735138057Thanks for your input
>>735138057cool blogno one asked faggot
>>735137992Top looks better
>>735138065all this is doing is making the Switch 2 use docked mode for Switch 1 games, if the games have a framerate cap Nintendo themselves can't do anything about it except potentially bribe the developers for a patch Ironically this means all the lazy devs who just uncapped the framerate and had it run like dogshit on switch 1 accidentally future proofed their games to run like butter on switch 2
i started playing mario rpg remake a couple days ago and it looks much better now
>>735138065This is that update. It just runs docked Switch 1 mode on Switch 2 in handheld.If a game was 60fps docked, but 30fps handheld on Switch 1, it’s now 60fps handheld on Switch 2
>>735138137Wtf is this game
>>735137992that's the switch 1 versionbottom is the $5 switch 2 """"upgrade""""
>>735136002I'd rather this than whatever they did to xcx
>>735138193>>735138112
Anyone test Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled? Might buy it again digitally if good results.
Are you guys pretending to be retarded? This should have been a day 1 feature.Why would the Switch 1 games not run at docked mode by default when there are 8 years between S1 and S2 hardware-wise?
Ive just been reinstalling a bunch of games to testFire Emblem 3 Hopes looks and runs fucking insane now
>>735138065Not likely, FPS caps are usually built into the game itself and they don't have an easy, one size fits all answer to improving FPS without per-game patches. This image quality boost just uses the Switch 1 docked mode, which every game has to support anyway. At the same time, this won't do anything that Switch 1 docked mode doesn't do, obviously.
>>735138242>Why would the Switch 1 games not run at docked mode by default when there are 8 years between S1 and S2 hardware-wise?Good thing that it does now.
>>735135501Faster load times too. Smash Ultimate runs so fast the music and feel is outta sync at times.
>>735138270>which every game has to support anywayWeren't there a couple handheld exclusive games
Tabletop mode is saved. Now there needs to be a revision with a bigger battery.
>>735138298>bigger batteryJust use the top USB port? That's why it's there
>>735138242Because they had compatibility issues that took awhile to sort out and it wasn't worth delaying the entire fucking console for a side feature that can be added in a patch? Pikmin 3 was so broken on Switch 2 on launch that they don't even let you boot it without downloading the compatibility layer for it, I was annoyed was it's hardly delay the system territory.
How does this affect games like Link's Awakening that are still Switch 1 titles with upgrades that only work on Switch 2?
>>735138323>Just use the top USB port? That's why it's thereIt's a fucking handheld m8, no one wants it plugged in all the time.
>>735138242battery lifepotential backwards compat glitches since it's not native back compat but some weird translation layer similar to how proton deals with windows games on linux they have been fixing back compat problems since the system released and probably didn't want to enable this until they were sure it wouldn't cause any more issuesthis is literally exactly what I was asking for them to do since devs are lazy about making switch 2 patches and I spend 90% of my time playing in bed so this is an amazing update
>>735138273Yes and people act like it was god's given gift. I don't understand if they're trolling or if they're nintendo shills.>>735138336I don't agree.
>>735138294I don't know, were there? I've certainly never played one. If there are then I guess those wouldn't get any image quality improvement from this.
>>735138352I doPlaying on my bed and it's always plugged in, no need to worry about batteryIf you play your fucking Switch in public you are a cringe fucking redditor though.
>>735138345It doesn't unless you uninstall the patch for some reason.
>>735138345I imagine that if you haven't downloaded the free upgrade patch it still runs better than before, but why would you not? It makes more sense for games that have paid Switch 2 Editions if you still want some benefit without buying the upgrade.
>>735138176kino
>>735138163You're absolutely right. Damn.
Hey that's great and all but when the fuck do they fix Xenoblade X switch 2 edition?
>>735132198How does Metroid Dread look?
I wonder how the Devil Summoner remake looks in handheld if you don't buy the 2 edition vs if you do.
Reminder that for some fucking reason, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle runs at 60fps docked on Switch 2, so theoretically it SHOULD run at 60fps handheld. (currently re-downloading, can't test yet)
switchniggas, I am retarded and constantly save video clips of funny things but never edit them down because it pulls me out of the game and now I have 20 fookin gigabytes of like 500 30 second clips on my switch 2what the fuck do i doi don't have the patience to go through and trim them all down and doing that also ruins the timestamps which upsets my autism cause I like the gallery as a time capsule for what I've playedhow do i solve this?
>>735138507Less jaggy
>>735138505Physical copies in April so maybe then.
>>735133518>>735132403>>735133007Lmao
Appearantly the Pikmin games don't support this ree.
Does anyone have comparisons of Nier Automata?
>>735138584They fucking better
>>735138558My storage was full because I have the same autistic problem, so I bought more storage. You're autistic, you should be able to figure these things out.
>>735138812I already bought a 512gb micro sd express...it cost EIGHTY dollarsI also have this problem on steam deckand my phonei have less than 1gb of space on my phonei have been deleting app caches for months please god help me
>>735136564Still lasts longer than my playing these games on my 2017 launch model switch
>>735138551Never mind, turns out handheld mode also had this little V-sync bullshit going on. But holy hell, I forgot how pretty this game was.
>>735138917Get a couple of 8TB hard drives to dump your hoard into
>shadowdrops an absolute game-changing software update>refuses to elaborate>leavesJust 'Tendo things.
>>7351387491080p 30fps
>>735139074but my steam deck is my only computer
>same fidelity as S1 docked mode, without overblowing pixels because smol screenthis is the best of both worldsnintendo just saved gaming
>none of the pikmin games are white listedWtf
>>735136654Honestly the thing guzzles the battery like nobody's business even compared to the switch. but by this point we've outpaced battery tech by battery demand so much the days of bringing a gameboy on holiday with you for a week no problem are well gone anyway. Even phones are functionally tethered to a regular daily charge now.
>>735138137i want to add a 120fps mode to our game but those fuckers won't give us a motherfucking dev kit
>>735139174Could it be because of the compatibility updates they all needed? Maybe it internally treats them as Switch 2 titles?
>>735138385>people are happy Nintendo did an objectively good thing>REEEEEEEE SHILLS!!!!
>>735132198we aren't getting a xenoblade 2 upgrade patch, are we?
>>735139247YepThe current battery lithium-ion battery tech has been pushed way beyond it full potential at this pointThere is nothing else that can be done aside from optimizing software and hardware, but that will only give you very marginal battery gainsThe only hope is that somehow a completely new battery tech gets developed
>>735139247Solid state batteries are a thing. Tough, I guess it will take some time for wide adoption
>>735133421the only one retarded here is you
>>735133421Oh man discordtroons are already FUMING lol
>>735139359Haribo holds the secrets to advanced battery tech
>>735139252>play on steam deck>go into desktop mode>edit game .ini file to uncap frameratewaow
Finally. Should've been a feature at launch. Makes the upgrade more tempting for sure.
>>735139330Definitive Edition next year for the 10th anniversary. It’s a tradition
>>735139419qrd
>>735139427on the switch 2. our game already lets you play at 120fps on pc, but it's 1080/60 on switch (and it had to get optimized quite a bit just to make that happen). would be great if we could update it for switch 2 to allow for 1080/120 and 4k/60 options or something
Prime Remastered looks crisp af
>>735139252Indie shitters don't get dev kits Sorry lad.
>>735139373Aren't those batteries still expensive to produce and unstable to use?
>>735139328It's the bare minimum, it's not a "good thing".
>>735139516120fps is a meme.
>>735139594because it's still cutting edge, experimental techit won't be ready for public for a few more years
>>735139403It’s gonna be a long day for them
>>735132231This looks better than Scarlet and Violet lmao
>>735139675I played Prime 4 docked with mouse controls and 120fps were very noticeable due to how snappy you move your view around. Wasn't really worth it handheld over 1080p60fps with button/gyro controls though.
>>735139403The main switch 1 hacker also announced yesterday that he’s gonna transition and left the community, so they are in shambles not knowing what to do now
>>735139740SV with the dedicated Switch 2 patch still has shit environmental art direction, but in terms of pure performance it's way better than SwSh thanks to 60fps.
>>735137721xenoblade is first party, but yeah
>>735139728The fuck is tripsters problem?
>>735139824I look forward to Nintendeem spending 20 minutes crying about it.
>>735139856Surprisingly he praised the update
>>735139824They are retarded. Funnily enough, his fellow snoys are the only people I see defending the dlss 5 shit
how is the switch 2 screen?
>>735139973It's pretty okay. Wish they would have put an OLED screen in. They'll probably do a revision in 2028
>>735139973great until someone tells you it isn't
>>735139973It's fine. I don't understand the smear campaign against it, there's nothing noticeable while playing.
>>735139675half life 2 needs to be played at 180fps minimum
>>735132198>XB2 still stuck at 720p with a random memory leak issue that was never patchedB Team deserve the rope
>>735140039>smearkek
>>735140063Did they do anything at all about it? It wasn't in Torna so they clearly fixed it on their engine going forward
>>735139936>his fellow snoys are the only people I see defending the dlss 5 shitIronic, considering Playstation 5 is AMD hardware, and PS6 will be tooSnoytroons will never see the light of this shit on their overpriced pre-built PCs lmaoUnironically Nintendo is more likely to see tech like these on their consoles at some point in the far future, considering they're the only console manufacturers who currently have a partnership with Nvidia
>>735140096Nope. You still need to reload the area via fast travel if you circle the map. It'll be 30fps with some resolution drops on the first run and 20fps and a huge resolution drop on the second pass if you don't reload.
>>735138137Are the bunny girl costumes in the switch 2 port?
>>735140063Xeno 2 is the only Xeno game that has crashed on me while I was playing all of them on the Switch 2. It was a weird crash too, right after teleporting. Mind you it was only one crash in 80 hours, but still weird to see.
>>735140262Yes
>>735139807after playing SV on the Switch 2 man the artstyle is fucking atrocious
>>735140285I got Xenoblade 1 crashing when it launched after Melia’s introduction cinematic but that was only once
>>735139765>The main switch 1 hacker also announced yesterday that he’s gonna transitionEvery time lol
nintendo won the console war holy shit
Still not buying a Switch 2
GIVE ME FUCKING BROTHERSHIP AND TTYD 60fps PATCH ALREADY
>>735139973These people saying the screen is good have no idea what they're talking about.The color quality, contrast, etc., aren't bad, but the trade-off is that you get an extremely slow screen that isn't really suitable for gaming. It can be 5 to 10 times slower than monitors made specifically for gaming.I suspect Nintendo sacrificed motion picture quality because they didn't want comparisons to the Switch 1's OLED screen to make the Switch 2 look like an inferior product, so they did the opposite of what you'd expect in gaming: they prioritized image quality over speed.Another thing nobody talks about is that the Switch 1's LCD screen, despite being poor and slow, at least attempts to offer accurate color calibration, but the Switch 2's screen is intentionally uncalibrated. Instead of trying to offer accurate colors, Nintendo clearly just tried to give a "boost" to what they think people perceive as a beautiful image, and the consequence is that the colors in some Switch 1 games will look off on the Switch 2.
I've been thinking of my dust-collecting OG switch and found that the switch's OS aesthetics slightly puts me off from wanting to use it. The DS and Wii systems had a unique charm to them with their sound and visual designs, but turning on my Switch feels a lot like using my Android phone. It ultimately doesn't matter when it comes to actually playing games, but I can't help but wonder if I'd find the idea of using it more fun were it more like those consoles mentioned above
>>735140025>>735141390
Are loading times also affected or am I hallucinating?
>>735141809It forces docked clocks which will affect loading times in some games. BOTW and TOTK for example should have faster loading times because it was bottlenecked by vram and cpu clocks. In some games it won't matter at all. It's nothing new, we already saw that with people running OC on v2 Switches.
>>735142052Alright, I thought I was tripping balls, I'm like the only owner of Atelier Yumia on Switch probably and it loads a lot faster now. I only play handheld so I had no idea.
>>735132198That's actually a really cool feature
>>735141390All LCDs smear like shit. The difference between Switch 2's dogshit LCD and a top of the line LCD is smaller than the difference between a top of the line LCD and an OLED. The reason they didn't use OLED for Switch 2 is because they wanted VRR and there are mobile OLED displays with VRR at that size. The one exception is the Legion Go 2 that came out later but its screen guzzles power due to how VRR works with OLED. The bleeding edge OLEDs you see in flagship phones don't have VRR either. Don't get me wrong, Nintendo went with a shitty display to save money on Switch 2 but there were also technical reasons for the choices they made if they didn't want the thing to have a $700 BoM.
>>735132334God that's yummy
>>735142168>I'm like the only owner of Atelier Yumia on SwitchI have every other Atelier on it but the demo turned me off from Yumia because visual fidelity seemed poor. I've been thinking whether to give it a chance now but I'm sure they'll make a Switch 2 upgrade or dedicated version.
Thats cool. Still wont play them on console but its cool that nintendo fans got something at least. Looks as good as running them on a computer to a certain extent
uhh is this real? sounds really fucking bad performance-wise
>>735133447it's the size of the screen that makes them look bad
>>735142293Wait for the DX version for sure
>>735132268Now I feel like replaying Xenoblade 2 but the "switch 2" or "definitive edition" might be around the corner
>>735132198>boost on>tits don't growNot much of a boost
>>735135501With this all games are literally remastered for free on both resolution and framerate. The games with dynamic resolution also got a boost.
Smash is 1080p 60 fps on handheld now, lookin' crisp
>>735136205I remember, the fact that we have the entire library is crazy because it wasn't an easy feat. Even more they all have boosted framerate, now resolution on handheld mode too. Not to mention all the ones that got patches for free.
>>735136476>a year9 months
>>735142168>I'm like the only owner of Atelier Yumia on Switch probably and it loads a lot faster now.I'm with you on that.The overall game was OK, but one location (smaill fishing village) was really bad and dropped my framerate
Why play switch games in 1080p on switch 2 when you could just play them at 4k on PC with an emulator?
>>735142556>it STILL hasn't been a year for the Switch 2god damn, it's doing so much within the year
>>735142656you can't play your pc in bed
Why do you faggots hate Nintendo again?>mentions some shit that Sony and MS are way worse at
>>735142703I'm posting on my PC while literally lying in bed right now. I literally played BotW on PC in bed
>>735138242Because they were focusing on a hardware+software backwards compatibility that runs the entire Switch 1 library flawlessly when everyone was saying it was technically impossible and there's no need to delay the console another 9 months to get this ready too. PS4 Pro didn't come with boost mode at launch either.
>>735142656i still can't run some switch 1 games on yuzuoctopath traveler 1 and 2 care permanently fucked, so is dragon quest 3 2D HD
>>735142656Because it's illegal and not handheld.
>>735132198Didn't expect that but cool.
>>735132268I don't know what the fuck people are praising here. This still looks bad. Characters just looks like smeared shit.
>>735132198I'll buy a Shitch 2 when its revised, has battery upgrade mods, good software worth playing that isn't open world slop. So basically emulation since none of those things will happen.
>>735143796>good software worth playing that isn't open world slopIf you think DK Bananza is open world you're a fucking retard.
>>735143796Sounds like you'll just buzzword yourself new excuses to rant about why you'll never buy one no matter what they do.
>>735133526Really? qrd?
>>735143796>one day I'll buy this console I hateNo you won't, you will keep shitposting for 8 years instead.
>>735143796The browns are here
>>735134618Probably the 'impossible' games like Doom, Witcher, Crysis, etc.
Next stop will be resolution boost on desktop, do you guys think this is possible? Games that have dynamic resolution are already better, I just wonder if there's a way to inject resolution changes somehow (I've seen crazier things before).
>>735142790you have a fucked up set up then
>>735143796
>pay $500 for a gimped console that ruins all Switch 1 games (S2 has no games yet)>patch to make your S2 look like an S1 in handheld>tendies freak Why are they so easy to please?
>>735143784Fuck you. It's better and that's a step up for now, Xb2 is one of the worst offenders since it had to literally be 360p for it to run natively on S1.This will do til we get a free update or definitive edition
>>735143973>all White Europeans now have to pay a $500 fee to Nintendo to register themselves as Aryan
>>735144132S2 has more games than XSX and PS5 combined in 9 months. The fuck are you on.
>>735132198What's the difference...
Why do you even want such a large screen on a portable?
>>735142349Idk what he means by this, playing even base Xenoblade XDE without the switch 2 upgrade is night and day visually.Switch2 "downgrade" is even more in effect now.
>>735132334I need to hurry up and actually play Astral Chain
>>735133421It doesn't work for every game though.
>>735132231switch screen is not even remotely this big
>want a switch 2 for pogaymans>remember falling for the original switch (not even the modable version) with the 2 hour battery life less than a year before they released the one with better battery
>>735144235Source on Pokopia being tons of games? Oh wait, PlayStation has no games right? LOL! I got that one!
>>735132403is this one of the newfangled DOOM games?is that a giant yellow rotating question mark
>>735142421that's called the emulated PC version
>>735138401>If you play your fucking Switch in public you are a cringe fucking redditor though.You care way too much.>>735138558Delete them or edit them.
>>735132370it actually looked ways better in person, this boosts is nuts
>>735144359If you’re thinking of spending $600 on a Farmville clone you deserve to be ripped off
>>735144431I got Builders on PC and Builders 2 on PC AND Switch I fucking deserve Builders 2.5 nigger
I’m having a boost
>>735144361DK Bananza, MK World, Metroid Prime 4, Kirby Air Riders, Pokopia, Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment, not to mention all the stuff coming when the other 2 have literally nothing on the horizon.>t-those don't countluh mao.9 months and already better than a lifetime of your shit.
>>735144132>gimped console that ruins all Switch 1 gamesWhat? You mean "runs"?
>>735144112No, I have a comfy set up
It’s so funny because all of these games looked perfectly fine on Switch 1. But you bought a console that fucked them up and was legitimately worse for 99% of Switch games. And now you’re grateful that your $500 just gave you nothing instead of making everything worse?
>>735139973It's shit, and this is coming from a tendie. LCD, ghosting and lousy HDR. I still enjoy the console, but its screen and battery are definitely its worst aspects.
>>735143838>>735143894>>735143973>>735144117>>735143894>>735143838Holy seethe lmao you tards really go full bot once someone doesnt like your company ahaha
>>735144491The pokemon game is no builders 2.5, it's more like builders 0.5. It's Animal Crossing in the DQB engine
>>735134662>I just leave it plugged at all times when playingThat's really bad for the battery in the long run.
>>735144543So you don’t have a Switch 2?
>>735144656Post your DQB and DQB2 playtime
>>735144682I do. How does it "ruin" Switch 1 games?
>enters thread to see some comparisons >sees console warring schizo(s) posting outdated ports ITTof course they're melting over this system update right now
>>735144690I played the first game on an emulator so no playtime for it
>>735144774They don't like their system, they just hate Nintendo, there's some sperg posting about emulation every chance he gets.
>>735144708So you’ve never played a Switch 1 game on your Switch 2 in handheld mode prior to the patch? You don’t understand what display resolution and screen size is?
>>735144852I've never noticed anything off.
>>735144887So this patch was totally unnecessary?
Can you check Fire Emblem Three Houses?
Oh great Gothic 2 on handheld now got even better.
>>735143796You are buttmad because Switch 2 emulation isn't gonna come out for a long time, and your shitskin third world poortard brain cannot cope with this fact
Sadly so far I barely notice a difference. I was hoping the s2 would play s1 games in handheld better than the s1 itself. But because s1 games looked awful on s2, this update feels more like it fixes that rather than improves upon. And it's more like a brute force trick with how it disables touch screen and can't even register the joycons unless it's a pro controller. Tldr it just feels like I'm playing s1 games on an s1 tablet again
>>735144253Okay now try opening your shit encrusted eyes
>>735144806>I'm brownOpinion discarded
story of seasons a wonderful life looked really bad in handheld mode on the switch 2 but now it looks really decent. Pennys big breakway also looks so much better. Huge win for kusoge enjoyers
>>735144523Age of Imprisonment doesn't count, give me Hyrule Warriors 2.
>>735132198Literally every nintendo game is handheld mode on, I don't see what's new.
>>735144806Thank god I'm not talking to another fag who magically happened to like Builders after Pokopia releasedI still think Pokopia's probably better off without direct combat, after getting used to Malroth beating shit up for me the segments without him were a fucking chore. Tower defense parts were really cool though and Ditto could've potentially had a ton of attack variety compared to the builders so I'm kinda conflicted. The building parts look like an upgrade and more focus on the npcs is honestly a plus for me, I love that shit. Only downsides I've been seeing are the inventory system and the waiting time, otherwise it looks like a nice sidegame to both Pokemon and Builders.Also I fucking wish NH had DQB type of island customization, I've been saying that it's inferior to DQB for the longest fucking time. Imagine being in the endgame and needing to place blocks one by one while walking around like a fucking caveman.
>>735144667Batteries degrade when they are constantly discharged and recharged you fucking tech illiterate shitskin.
>>735133807idk, when are you gonna work on reverse engineering the system calls and getting the decryption keys?
>>735132198HOLY SHIT FINALLY why wasnt this a thing from the startDoes it fix XCX at all?
>>735135501You get a boost up to the framerate cap. Games that are locked at 30 but struggle to hit it will now be stable at 30, and so on for any other framerate (e.g. Bayonetta 3, SMT5)
>>735132638>>735133345>still need to do the Wilds updates>Rise is simply more fun
>>735145221Wow I just tried fe 3 houses and I stand by what I said even more. I turned off the boost and the difference is huge. Were all these s1 game this fucking ugly in s2 handheld? There's no way they looked this bad on s1 handheld
>>735145451>>735144287This basically.
Fire Emblem 3 Hopes runs like butter now, thanks nintendo
>>735136149backwards compatibility was ready at launch sans < 30 games out of a library of thousands, and most of those games were>poker on switch!>shovelware title that 3 people bought>ring fit (joycons aren't compatible)aka not really "games"
>>735145552Games with already low resolution on Switch 1 handheld tended to look even worse on Switch 2 handheld because of the 1080p screen. Games that actually hit 720p on Switch 1 were fine, but are better now if they were 1080 docked.
>>735145451It actually upscales base switch 1 XCX better than the switch 2 upgrade kek
>>735145552It's not that all S1 games looked like complete dog shit before but it's a combination of Switch1 being underpowered asf before and the fact that S2 has a 1080p screen which makes shit like Xb2 look even worse since it was like 360-540p before in HH mode LUHMAO.
>>735132198that's actually kinda sick
>>735145285How does anything in that post make me brown?>>735145389Just building for the sake of building is boring which is why having combat is important
I hope we eventually get a “boost mode” for docked play, if only to just unlock framerates.This is still a very good update. Makes me want to use handheld mode so much more
>>735139973Wait til an OLED version comes out
>>735139247>outpaced battery techYou naive fool. Better tech is being purposefully sabotaged and they’ve made them unswappable so when your battery dies you need a new device. It was done by design. You used to be able to easily swap the battery out of your waterproof phone a few years ago. This is why they push electric shit mobiles so hard.
>>735136246not to mention but for Xenoblade 2, the dynamic res kicks in when the frame monitor notices that the frametimes you're getting go below the target 30 FPS. since the Switch 2 can handle basically every Switch 1 game without any drops, you'll get a steady 1080p image basically all the time.
>>735145570Fuck. Is there a way to turn off the update?
>>735145761Eject the virtual game card
>>735145761better hope you have a physical copy gayboy
>>735145761Just go to your virtual game cards and find the switch 2 update for XBXDE, options, eject from this system. You'll have to redl the 2.0 update for base XBXDE but that's no biggie.
>>735137929small screen at 1080p has a much higher pixel density than a big screen at 1080p. the image will look much crisper because it's the same detail over a smaller unit of distance.
>>735144667Reminded me of this vid I saw a while backhttps://youtu.be/Lj4LMlGr4og>>735145694Guess we have different preferences then, I spent way too long building shit for fun in DQB2's postgame. Like I said I liked the tower defense parts which was honestly very underutilized aside from like, the ice shithole in B2? And then never again.
>>735145761Never ever
>>735145761You deserve it for paying for a performance patch. Dumb goy
>>735133421The paid updates usually have higher resolution assets, custom configs to make the game run at higher framerates with much heavier effects (longer draw distances, more shaders, longer LOD radii, etc.), and all of that takes time to do and test. This software update just lets you run configs shipped with the Switch 1 game but on Switch 2 handheld mode. The work for each game has already been done. It also means that the Switch 2 is a huge value add for anyone who has a Switch 1 because you get to play the best version of those games but in a handheld format.>TL;DR they're making the upgrade actually worth now
>>735139973Honestly, not the best, but as long as you're viewing it at a normal angle there's nothing wrong with it. The large amount of real estate is very easy on the eyes.I get more annoyed at the joycons than I do the screen.
>>735146190Really? I love the new Joy Cons, they're a huge upgrade. No more shitty rails or cramps from the small size.
can we get battery life comparisons
>>735145761Ignore everyone else. Yes, all upgrades and DLCs are "virtual game key cards." You can go to the game key card menu in the Switch and eject it from your system, and the game will run like it did before.
>>735145761not sure why you'd want to. 60fps is worth more to me than a better looking resolution.
>>735146256They're better but still not great by themselves. The dbrand grip case, while horribly overpriced, does make them quite comfy though.
>>735132198Anyone tried Astral Chain yet?
>>735138558I believe you can connect your system to a pc via usb cable and copy all your video/pics files. Then you can delete them.
>>735146629Yeah look at those abs >>735132334
>>735139624You are fumming by the "bare minimum" anyways.I won.
>>735146779There's nothing Nintendo can do to make these people not rage and call you a retarded tendie, why engage with them, they're gonna be there to call their next 10/10 game a piece of shit too.
Fuck Nintendo
post the Sonic upgrade. That shit was hilarious.
>>735146945You lost.
>>735146945there's a reddit for that, you should head on over.
>>735146854Except your “10/10” game WILL be shit. Sorry, not spending $70 on pokemon minecraft. I fell for the hype and massively regret this $500 paperweight which now does the bare minimum of playing Switch 1 games the way they looked on a Switch 1.
>>735143784I'm retarded and have to have more direct comparisons, so I made a gif out of this to really see the difference.
>>735142349>Believing a nigger from the comments section.
>>735147025>Except your “10/10” game WILL be shitYeah yeah I know
>>735144620Cope they literally look better on the smaller Switch 2 screen than on a large TV using the original docked mode.
>>735147053I've always used my Switch while docked, so I've never seen the first image. I also never unlocked KOS-MOS. Still, lol. My condolences to everyone who bought a Switch Lite.
>>735147053wait, are people trying to say this sin't a vast fucking improvement? because it obviously is. I'm already laughing at my friend who JUST finished playing XB2 on Switch 2 handheld like yesterday.
>>735139624It’s good compared to the other companies and developers who according to your standards are below bare minimum.
Whats now the point of NS2 editions of NS1 games?
>>735146256I really dislike the joycons compared to the Steam Deck's thumbsticks. The Hori Split Pad Pro Compact was my go-to for the Switch 1 (picrel)
>>735147268uncapping framerates?
>>735147268FPS boost thanks to stronger hardware jewing people from content that could have easily been DLC for switch 1
>>735147118Yep, all the reason why the S2 was unnecessary.
>>735147268See >>735146141
>>735147370My brother in Christ it's a new console, backwards compatibility has always been just a plus.
>>735135739You can hack your penis off
>>735147370The S2 runs Switch 1 games at higher resolutions and framerates. Literally all I wanted out of a Switch 2 was for the exclusive games to not struggle to run at a decent framerate, resolution, and level of detail. Everyone else wants a fucking PS5 handheld for some fucking reason.
>XCX DE looks much better at native 1080p with handheld boost mode that trash S2 editionlmao how did they manage to fuck it up this bad.
>>735147370>PS2 was unnecessary This is how retarded you sound.
>>735144117>4chan screencapgo back
>>735147520PS2 didn't improve a single PS1 game, they didn't even do the bare minimum damn.
>>735144774Is this their lowest point already?Imagine being mad at a fucking system update. Not even a game.What's next?
It’s fascinating to what lengths usual suspects will go to shit on an objectively positive thing just because it was done by Nintendo.
>>735146141>an actual, unironic shillThe Switch 2 CAUSED the problem of games looking like shit. It has a screen that’s way too big for a handheld. Anyone can have a TV for $200. What’s the point?>Switch 1 because you get to play the best version of those games but in a handheld format.THEY ALREADY LOOKED FINE ON SWITCH 1. Switch 2 broke them and now they’re un-broken. Congrats on spending $500 to go in a circle.
>>735142351It always looked bad
>>735147570I used to think it was playstation fanboys, but I honestly think it's just that any positive news about a Nintendo product gets people riled up. If people didn't care, they wouldn't enter the thread.
>>735142656>PC PC PC PC>ERM GUYS WHAT ABOUT PC?????Most annoying faggots ever.
>>735135608Lmao nope
>>735147663>It has a screen that’s way too big for a handheldThe problem was stretching output designed for a 720p screen to a 1080p screen.Screen size has nothing to do with what you are melting down about. Retard.
>>735132198I KNEEL NINTENGODS
>>735136564Then take a break after two hours?
>>735147663tendies think giving nintento money is a virtue, you will not get through to them
>>735147570Some guy in this thread already said that their next good game is gonna be shit, admitting he's saying this without knowing what game will that be.You have to understand that people with a hate boner for Nintendo are not rational, they're absolutely governed by their emotions and react violently at any Nintendo news.
>>735147663You have no idea what you're on about. Pure dunning kruger right here. Shut the fuck UP.
Ignore the retarded schizo anti tendie posters, they go away to their designated shitting thread when you ignore their baits.
>>735147857They don't, you're the one being irrational here.>positive news>get absolute meltdown and insult everyone
>>735147663>The Switch 2 CAUSED the problem of games looking like shit....yes, and they now fixed it with this new handheld boost business?>It has a screen that’s way too big for a handheld.hey that's your opinion anon, I personally like having the screens about as big as a steam deck or slightly bigger>THEY ALREADY LOOKED FINE ON SWITCH 1.Lots of games looked OK on handheld on the Switch 1, but there was sparse detail, and the resolution suffered pretty hard. Handheld was the onlly way you could play Bayo 3 or SMT5 at a decent resolution and framerate, and they both weren't steady. The Switch 2 lets both games hit their framerate caps without dipping in resolution, and it now does it in handheld>>actual, unironic shilllol why do I care if you buy a Switch 2? seems like you're mad because I have one and am happy with this update.
>>735147663>It has a screen that’s way too big for a handheldThe absolute tech illiteracy of Nintendo haters.
>>735142656I don't want to play handheld-oriented games at 4K on a desktop, which is why I have a fucking Switch 2 and Steam Deck in addition to a PC
>>735147647kek reminds me of the two articles about xbox and ps putting their games on pc where they shat on xbox for doing it but praised sony for doing the right thing
Jarvis, how does Donkey Kong Returns look?
>>735148048snoys are not people, they have never criticized anything sony does
What about Bayonetta 3?
Does that mean arceus runs better now or is it unchanged
>>735132198You could already do this on Switch 1
>>735147857please explain why the new flagship being able to run the old flagship's games at their highest original spec in handheld mode is a bad thing>they should have done it earlier!agreed. what are we complaining about right now?
>>735147873No. AntiNintendo fuckos are not normal. If you don't give them the attention they crave, they will samefag the thread for HOURS. They are absolutely unhinged and mentally ill.Someone post the latest sameffaging melty, pretty pls. I have the screenshot in my pc, but I'm not at home right now.Pic not related.
>>735147570Because consoomers like (You) are stuck in an endless cycle of buying and consooming. You keep getting rugpulled. For example, they keep changing the resolution of TVs, and you know what that does? All older content looks like trash. Except a display at the correct resolution for the content will look perfectly fine. Odd how that works, isn’t it? Go ahead, try it. The funniest rug pull is that, because 4K TVs are larger, people move their sofas farther away, making the viewed size the same as a 1080p display. Do you hold your Switch 2 at the same distance as the Switch 1? The screen on the Switch 1 OLED was perfectly fine and had zero issues needing a patch. Do you get it now?
>>735148157The Switch 1 did not have a 1080p screen>but if you jailbroke it, you could force the config!downsampling is neat but needing to jailbreak the switch 1 to do it isn't "being able to do it" in the conventional sense and you know it anon.
>>735145942>>735144667New devices don't charge all the time, retards.
>>735147247It literally is still blurry and pixelated as fuck. Its just that before the boost, it should've been a crime that ninty should've been held accountable for
>>735148157The switch 1 did not have a 1080p screen. It was 720p in handheld mode
>>735148236>buyingit's a firmware update anon, you don't buy it.
>>735148236You are comparing buying new shit with something that i already own.You are a fucking stupid nigger.Imagine getting this mad because a free system update.
>>735146854>>735146779I have a SW2, do you even have one? I can say what I want about Shitendo. They have poor quality hardware and their games suck. This feature should ave been available from day 1 and if you suck them off for this update you're mentally ill.
>>735147801So you admit there’s not even a size benefit? (There’s a 1” difference)>>735147867>>735148020You are a zoomer.
>>735147873How well did that work out for Zelda threads on /v/?
>>735148157How?
>>735148236>Do you hold your Switch 2 at the same distance as the Switch 1?Yes>The screen on the Switch 1 OLED was perfectly fineThe screen was fine. The images that Switch 1 produced were pretty heavily compromised for quality, like all of the Xenoblade games having the WORST dynamic res smear the frame or TOTK's FSR blur everything up. The fact that the Switch 2 runs Switch 1 games at their highest framerates and does the docked config means that not only does the game literally look at least as good as before, it literally looks better because the stupid fucking dynamic res never triggers and the image looks as crisp as it was once intended.
>>735132198This should have been a day 1 mode. Its absolutely crazy how fucking retarded Nintendo is.
>>735148378>>735148401>Switch 2 was freeIt’s not. Give it back, Tyrone.
I feel like these screenshots doesn't look as good as in person. Maybe because the Switch screenshots always look bad.Pretty neat update
>>735148315so you agree its an improvement. concession accepted.
>>735148161They don't even own a Switch 2 and they think they should have done it earlier, they clearly worry about what's best for us, it's so nice of them.
>>735148414And you an illiterate moron.
>>735137156Shame Bayo 3 is guttertrash
>>735148210this one?
>>735148465you posting on /v/ from the library or something anon? you wouldn't be being a hypocrite here who CONSOOOMS and then whines about other people doing that too?
>>735132198Yeah nice but I'd rather play Xenoblade 2 portable on an OLED that Xenoblade TV on an IPSFortunately my Legion Go 2 is due soon soon I'll enjoy the best of both worlds
>>735148236>The funniest rug pull is that, because 4K TVs are larger, people move their sofas farther awayNot me I enjoy the big screen.
>>735148486You were not alive for most of the past 30 years to see all these rugpulls in motion. You, like everyone else, are easily scammed.
>>735139973Horrible. It's so bad I went out and bought myself an oled monitor just so I could stomach playing it's games. Even my old crappy 1080p monitor was a step up from it.
>>735148236I think you're mistaken anon, this improves the resolution on handheld mode, they will effectively look way better than on the Switch 1 handheld, so it's not just getting it to the same level, it's improving it immensely.
>>735148629>Free update>RugpullYou're so retarded. Do me a favor and go play in traffic. The world won't miss you.
>>735148135It's locked 30 and higher resolution
It's not even thursday and the haters are melting down
>>735148526Wonder what about that post triggered xim so much
>>735148414>You are a zoomer.Not really, I understand the difference between resolution and screen size, unlike you.
>>735148685Stealing doesn’t make your Switch 2 “free”. Give it back.
>>735148645I have a 4K 144Hz TV and play mostly handheld on my Switch 2. The screen is great
>>735148783>Projecting
>>735148408Why do you care about this feature if you don't like their games, what you're saying makes no fucking sense. Sell it, go bitch somewhere else, free update, if you think you're allowed to shitpost because you paid money you're a retard.
The Nintendo fanbase is denying basic facts to justify their impulse buy when we have no other games besides Pokopia releasing this year. Grim, why didn’t Nintendo think of the community’s mental health before making this release schedule? They’ll just get even more unhinged.
>>735148482Not a vast one and still far from ideal. Only an switch 2 edition can save it
>>735148891You're still here.
>>735148891>denying basic facts>we have no other games besides Pokopia releasing this yearWhat year is that? The console is 9 months old.
>>735148891Kill yourself you useless sack of shit. You're psychotic.
>>735148408
>They have to explicitly patch it inLmao
>>735136002>brown languagego back
>>735147264Not really. They're all pretty bad now.
>>735148816How do you put up with the ghosting? It was somewhat okay with Pokemon ZA, but once a game starts getting fast paced I physically can't focus on anything that's happening, since it's all a blur.
>>735148526Yeah. That's just the lastest example.
>>735149046The Nintendo community needs help. Why would anyone buy a Nintendo product when the “people” act like this? I might just sell my Switch 2 if you’re going to act this way. Nintendo has easily the nastiest community in gaming.
>>735132198xenoblade 2 was the only one with playing
>>735149149kek nice
>>735147570I'm not mad at the update, retard. I am mad because it should be an obvious feature that was not available before and imbeciles like you praise the company for it.
>>735149232Do it faggot, your imaginary Switch 2 will probably sell really quickly.
>>735149149nice cursive :)
>>735149398Ty, anon. But looks even shittier here. I don't have more paper and i forgot to put something behind it before writing.
>>735138558>this is an official skindamn nintendo, why are you so based all of sudden?
I miss when shitposters would just attack Nintendo for its sales, now they have to come up with random shit instead.
Weird how the Switch 1 has been around for almost ten years and doesn’t need an update to play its own games in handheld mode as advertised
>>735149703>most raped snoy award
>>735149149SOVL
>>735149232>Why would anyone buy a Nintendo product when the “people” act like this?Because they want to be seen as normal people
>>735148418HomebrewYou wouldn't be able to get 1080p but you would get any special effects and framerates that were exclusive to TV mode.
>>735149834>Switch 1 is now published by Sony
>>735149703Ita almost as if it plays its own games in handheld mode as advertised while the switch 2 now has the ability to play it as advertised in handheld mode on the switch 1 AND as advertised in TV mode on switch 1 but on handheld.
>>735147025>Except your “10/10” game WILL be shit.Yes, and this is why you will then spend years begging for a Switch 2 emulator to play these shit 10/10 gameThere is nothing more disingenuous and hypocritical as you third world shitskins.
>>735148860>FREE UPDATE!1!It should be default, cretin.>>735149149Cocksucker.Shitendo consoles are bent like bananas out of the box kek. The SW2 is what the SW1 should have been.
>>735150039>pic1 minute in Grok, try again shitskin.
>>735150080Just like yours sister ;^)
>>735150039>AI image
The next step for snoys: complain about a controller system update.
>>735149987>every single White person on earth owns a Switch 2 and is satisfied with the release cycleSo Nintendo is basically handing out Aryan cards now?
>>735149703Why post when you don't even understand what's happening here
>>735150039>basic feature>no other system has it
>>735150130They basically are yeah
>>735150039I can't understand your shitty subhuman scribble.
>>735150123It should have been DEFAULT. Fuck your "free" controller update!
>>735150039>no timestamp
>>735150039You just know that the hands holding this phone are brown
>>735149969>>735150137(You) do not own a Switch 2. You also did not own a Switch 1 or an OLED.
I hate how the SW2 takes the screenshot in 720p so it looks blurry and not how it looks on the actual screen. Still easy to see that it looks way better and that the aliasing isn't absurd like it is without the boost.
>>735150303Even his "switch 2" is just a bootleg sold by his fellow browns
>someone post a thread about a cool feature Nintendo just shadow dropped>thread instantly flooded by shitpostersgreat board
>>735150303Nintendo is now in charge of the Fourth Reich. To become a Certified Aryan, you now need to buy a Switch 2 and register your satisfaction with the product on an annual basis. If you were satisfied in 2025, you must remain satisfied in 2026 or you will lose your Aryan Certification. At any point in its release cycle if you express displeasure with the Nintendo Switch 2, you will have your Whiteness revoked and be banished from the ethnostate.
>>735150080>>735150121>>735150230>>735150246>>735150303Are all nintendo shills this pathetic?>>735150159It's called a computer. You change the resolution however you want.
>>735150360Oh the upgrade in fidelity is clearly visible in your screenshots, even if yeah, the Switch 2 screenshots don't do justice to the overhaul completely
>>735150441This, but unironically
>>735144253>What's the difference...Buy some glasses
>>735150305Womp wompThat's the wrong answer
Switch 2 sales must be dogshit now if they are actually being pro-customer all of a sudden.
>>735150039Your handwriting needs improvement.
>OH MY IWATA HE ACTUALLY HAS A SHITCH 2 HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?>PREPARE THE GASLIGHTING WE HAVE TO DAMAGE CONTROL AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO PROTECT THE HONOR OF SHITENDO AT ALL COSTS!
>>735149703Weird how the Switch 2 has been out for less than a year and didn't need an update to play its own games in handheld mode as well as the Switch 1 library in their handheld mode as advertised!
>>735150453Learn to use a pencil, you fucking gorilla nigger.Did you wrote that with the pencil inserted into your anus?
>>735150681Can't argue with that, what's fair is fair.I don't seem to be able to write anymore, I start writing (or typing) letters that come after before the actual letter. I wonder if it's a condition, it didn't use to be like this.
>>735150405It didn't happen during morning EU hours. The insane person must have woken up now.
>>735150861So anti nintendo posters are american?
>>735150759Not an argument, shill.
>>735150861Well we've already established that they're a gaggle of Americans, mostly from South America.
>>735150039You have the handwriting of a braindead baboon
>>735150894It probably is some mindraped amerijew.
Is the Switch 2 the worst-received console ever made? If race is a factor, doesn’t that mean that 80% of people on earth either don’t have a Switch 2 or have one and isn’t satisfied with the release cycle? Having a 20% approval rating isn’t a good sign for a console. Also, why do Japanese people hate the Switch 2 so much?
>>735150039I've seen actual kids write better lmao
>>735150679>[Sad News] Pokopia has pushed pretty much every Switch 2 in stock to sell out.
>>735150894We already now most of the antinintendo faggots are either, brazlilians, venezuelans or costa ricans.
>>735150939That makes sense. This board was better when it was just NA and mostly NW Europe.
>>735151068>Is the Switch 2 the worst-received console ever made?Eh, the ps5 exists and the ps3And vita.
>>735144391>>735142421>>735132268>>735132198And heres the emulated version in 4k. You could've done this for nearly 10 years now.
>>735151163>vitaIt was sent out to die, it's not fair...
>>735151371Nobody asked
>>735151371Now do it with your 4k handheld.
>>735151371It'd be an unstable slideshow on those poorly coded emulators.
>>735142276>All LCDs smear like shit. The difference between Switch 2's dogshit LCD and a top of the line LCD is smaller than the difference between a top of the line LCD and an OLED.The difference in response time will indeed be much greater between an OLED and an LCD than between a top-of-the-line LCD and an LCD Switch, but response time alone isn't the only factor, so much so that OLEDs, even with their nearly instantaneous pixel color transition, also produce a blurry image when in motion. Frame rate matters too, so if your monitor is extremely fast, you can take advantage of higher frame rates. My "gaming" monitor, when running a game at 144Hz, produces a moving image that is considerably better than that of the Switch 1 running the same game at 60fps. Even at the same frame rate, the advantage is visible, but if you can push for more frames, you make everything better.The Switch 2, in theory, could offer this benefit because the screen is 120Hz, but guess what... It's so slow that you can't take advantage of those extra frames. In fact, it's 50% slower than the Switch 1's screen, so it's possible it doesn't even handle 60fps properly.
>>735150627Nice Barbie
>>735151462It runs at 4k 60 >>735151447Tendie seethe keep choking on that cock >>735151451Any handheld PC can run yuzu or ryujinx, remove the ass AA and AO, and get a crisp clear picture that Switch will never have. Keep begging though! Faggot
Nintendo has the most racist community out of any of the major brands. It’s not that I’m offended, it’s just boring to have technical discussions be derailed by race wars all the time. Why did Nintendo become associated with this movement?
>>735151553Because browns love to talk about their Thinkpad laptop running Switch games poorly.
So what happened? I haven't seen em this riled up in awhile.
>>73514726860 fpsMore foliage and details.Less pop inYou name it Xb2 still ain't even in its best shape. As it's still like 500-720p at most
>>735150627Are you a flowerless purple pikmin?
>>735151536>It runs at 4k 60Only in your dreams
>>735151741I haven't played pikmin so I don't get the joke.
>>735151642Nintendo released a free update that improves a lot of Switch 1 games. This is pro-consumer, therefore goes against snoy programming. Also Sony getting called out for the varied pricing on their store
>>735151695Still not emulating on PC, tranny.
>the schizos are melting because a fucking system update.You cannot make this shit up.
>>735151764https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdOHE0LG6FkKeep begging tendie
>>735151642>>735151857>>735151918>paying $500 to have your games as sharp as they did on the Switch 1 is “pro-consumer”Switch 1 still plays Switch 1 games perfectly fine. Not everyone is falling for your planned obsolescence schtick.
>>735152024Genuinely retarded or pretending?
>>735152024Anon, you're literally getting something the switch 1 was incapable of doing in handheld mode.
>>735152024But they look better now. Why are you lying?
>>735150998>>735151085I was engulfed by rage.As always shils don't have arguments.
>>735151536>Any handheld PC can run yuzu or ryujinx>remove the ass AA and AO, and get a crisp clear picture that Switch will never have.I wish this were true, but it isn't. PC handhelds aren't meaningfully good at Switch emulation and will either compromise framerate or picture quality, usually both. Not to mention shader compilation stutters. Ask me how I know faggot
>>735150627i know who you are lol
>>735152131>He rages over a free system update.Get help.
>>735152141You cannot go lower than the literal 320p xenoblade chronicles 2 runs on switch 1, retard.
>>735150039this writing is so bad i cant blame people for thinking this is an ai generated pic
>>735151857That's it?
>>735152024>paying $500I paid $500 to get a new system to play games like DK Bananza and Kirby Air Riders. Playing the Switch 1 games at better resolutions on handheld came for free :)
Super Mario bros wonder is like getting a switch 2 edition lite if you are primarily a handheld player
>>735152107>>735152113The resolution was fine for handheld mode. Switch 2 created that problem. As always, cattle don’t understand when they’re being rugpulled.
>>735152142Yeah, you probably do. I post my builds around.
>>735152024Keep seething.
>>735152220You fucking idiot, dynamic res will choke the resolution down on handheld because there literally isn't enough juice to push 30 FPS at that power budget>hurr just disable it with a modyou retard it engages because the frametimes dip below a 30 FPS target. you are literally giving up resolution or framerate, especially because PC handhelds aren't powerful enough to tank the emulation overhead.
>>735151918Nothing wrong with laughing at consolefags for celebrating something that was done on emulators 6 years ago.
>>735152360is this ran through the new nvidia dlss 5(tm)?
>>735152332and now the handheld resolution is better and the picture has more detail on switch 2 handheld :)amazing step up in quality, thanks for pointing it out anon!
>>735152419Laugh the pain away.
>>735145227>>735150602I zoomed in and the lines were a little sharper i guess
>>735152215Rage at you faggots.>>735152248It's only natural when they piss me off like this.
>>735152428yep
>>735152464Keep choking on that corporate cock
>>735152450You hated Nintendo’s flagship console for eight (8) years. Don’t act like you’re a proud supporter of them now. If you didn’t support Nintendo in the Switch 1 era, you’re not a real fan.
>>735152589anon i think you replied to the wrong guy, i'm not a switch hater and have had one since launch
>>735152419Can you run Pokopia on your system?
>>735152645So why do you have such an issue with how the Switch 1 handles its own games?
>>735152563Someone's mad ;)
>>735152419>emulatorswhy are desktop gamers seething at a handheld update? this is like getting mad at smartphones because they don't display your gacha jpgs at 4k like the PC client
What the emutrannies won’t tell you is that they’ve conditioned themselves to tolerate the tedium of compiling mods, tinkering with one-off arrangements, and other complete wastes of time. Emutrannies could never develop something for general audiences and are doomed to hamster-wheel in their unwarranted sense of superiority while the world looks on in concern. Working in isolation for an incredibly narrow-scoped toy project with your troon-troupe is not the anti-establishment flex you think it is.
