The performance increases from Nintendo's free upgrade patches are staggering. All framerates are now an unshakable 60, and 5-6x resolution increases are typical.

Which Switch games would you like them to upgrade next?

xenoblade series and astral chain

>>713987472
These please.

Pokémon arceus

But I know they never will :(

>>713987472
Xenoblade Chronicles X specifically and Astral Chain would be ideal. Then perhaps an option for emulating Switch 1 docked mode in handheld mode for 3rd party games that refuse to patch.

Why different resolutions? Why can't they all be in 4k?

MHGU is the only game I care about getting an upgrade

>>713987265 (OP)
>an unshakable 60
TOTK still stutters so I assume you're lying about the others too

>>713987265 (OP)
That is a whole lot of wasted processing by going above 1080p as you'll get no visual benefit.

For Pokemon I would have preferred they kept the framerate at 30 and instead made the draw distance further than 5 fucking feet in front of you

>>713987265 (OP)
I am glad you kids are getting what people smart enough to emulate have been getting for years.

>>713995231
what are your 1% lows in BotW like?

>>713995231
god you so smart and really showing us nameless and faceless people on the internet. good for you!

Abstaining on replaying Metroid Dread or Prime Remastered until the release date trailer for Prime 4 in case they drop patches then.

>>713995026
He's talking about docked, not handheld retard-kun.

>>713995612
Yes and as we all know (well, people aren't retarded) there is no gain to be had going above 1080p.

>>713995889
Its okay to admit you're either going blind or never had good vision in the first place.

>>713987472
>Astral Chain at HD 60FPS

>>713995889
>Yes and as we all know (well, people aren't retarded) there is no gain to be had going above 1080p.
If you're talking about handhelds I agree. If you're saying there is no gain to be had going above 1080p in general, you're either blind or stuck at 1080p.

>>713995049
Something weird I've noticed with all of these upgrades is that you'll get pop in of characters still from a few feet away instead of having them spawn in from further. I assume it might be a nuisance to do(?) idfk. I seen it in Pokémon Scarlet and in TotK though and it's not a deal breaker by any means, it's just funny kek
>>713995571
Holy fuck, I was about to play them soon, I didn't realise there weren't any upgrades. Goddammit Nintendo should upgrade them alongside releases of Prime 2-3

>>713989794
Higher resolution and framerate can't fix a shit designed game

>>713987472
Xenoblade X actually has a small fps boost, more importantly all Xenoblade games load way faster if you have it downloaded to the Switch 2's internal memory (or one of the officially-licensed microSD Express cards that have Mario's stamp on them, because the other ones like Gamestop and Lexar have a capped speed).

>>713996802
>Holy fuck, I was about to play them soon, I didn't realise there weren't any upgrades. Goddammit Nintendo should upgrade them alongside releases of Prime 2-3
If you own then digitally then Switch 2 should at least fix Dread's loading times. I rebought Pikmin 4 digitally for Switch 2 and the loading times are 1/4th of cart on Switch.

Splatoon 3 is the only Switch 1 game that got a free patch to 4K on Switch 2 and it isn't an Enhanced Edition game either. All Splatoon games run the town hub at 30FPS, except now Splatoon 3 runs at 60 in the town hub. This is the most dramatic free patch out of all of Nintendo's 1st party games. Mario Wonder used to run at dynamic 1080p60FPS where it only dropped resolution in the overworld. The Switch 2 free patch removes this issue. In addition I recommend Nintendo engineers a solution that places this in the System Menu: "Force Docked Profile State in Switch 1 BC games", as it implies whenever you play a Switch game 1 in portable mode it'll force the game to think it's playing in TV mode. This is a massive big upgrade and easy fix for all games, including 3rd party games.

Here are my list wishlist for EASY 4K 60FPS patches for Nintendo 1st party ggames
>Luigi's Mansion 3
>Xenoblade 1, 2, and X
>Bayonetta 3 (only needs higher res and portable mode needs 1080p)
>Pokemon Sword, Legends Arceus
>Paper Mario Thousand Year Door Remake

Xenoblade 1 won't really improve more than it already has, the game is a remake on Switch. A lot of you guys misunderstand what these patches do, they're not 4K patches. Let's take this hilarious example, Mario Rabbids XCOM RPG on Switch 1 ran at 30FPS. But on the Switch 2, with zero patches, the game runs at 60FPS locked. It turns out Ubisoft used Double V-Sync. If the game has a hard coded framerate cap, all the patches do is remove it. If the game uses dynamic res like Bayonetta 3, the added horsepower prevents the game from triggering its dynamic lower res. Animal Crossing New Horizons might be a great candidate for 4K 60FPS free patch too now that I think about it. GameFreak has zero reason not to upgrade their Pokemon games to 60FPS minimum.

>>713995571
Metroid Dread runs at 900p60FPS locked in TV mode in Switch 1 already. Prime 1 remake might get a 120FPS mode if Nintendo is smart about shilling Prime 4 marketing right away.

>>713998032
Fuck, forgot Fire Emblem Engage. That game needs 60FPS everywhere and faster loading. Then it's fucking perfect. Fire Emblem Three Houses won't really improve from faster framerates, the game's issue is the textures they used and a patch can't fix that.

>>713998032
>Metroid Dread runs at 900p60FPS locked in TV mode in Switch 1 already. Prime 1 remake might get a 120FPS mode if Nintendo is smart about shilling Prime 4 marketing right away.
Dread and Prime 4 could both get a 4k or 120 FPS option though. Prime Remastered with that and mouse controls would be a fantastic demo for Prime 4.

>>713998201
The lack of anti-aliasing also hurts Three Houses which a patch could fix.

>>713997368
fortunately arceus is well designed

>>713996802
>Holy fuck, I was about to play them soon, I didn't realise there weren't any upgrades. Goddammit Nintendo should upgrade them alongside releases of Prime 2-3
Lots of games get passive upgrades on Switch 2 without an upgrade patch. Anything with dynamic framerate or resolution that failed to hit its original target on the Switch 1 can most likely hit those targets on Switch 2. For instance, games like Bayonetta 2 that lived around 40-50fps are now locked 60fps.

Unfortunately, Dread and Prime Remastered were some of the most stable games on the Switch, so their performance doesn't change at all.

Bump TTYD and Brothership up to 60fps. I have no other requests.

>>713987265 (OP)
I'd like new games with that same performance, please.

>>713987265 (OP)
I find it shocking that they can't seem to do native 2160p on every BC game considering the massive technological leap over the Switch 1 hardware.

>>714001321
Can't do that. Small indie dev pls understand.

>>714001485
No 1st party game uses DLSS yet so probably can't be bothered to figure it out for quick updates.

>>713987265 (OP)
MHGU and MH Rise
GU at 4K and Rise at least 1080p stable and obviously both at 60fps.

>>714001701
Backporting DLSS into the Switch 1 API is most likely impossible. If they want to use DLSS, they'll have to recompile the game as a Switch 2 binary. But all indications are that they will only do that for a "Switch 2 Edition".

>>713987472
4K / 60fps Astral Chain would be amazing.

>>713997452
The issue is that they still have the resolution drops and that's apparently not evened out at all.

>>713997452
>or one of the officially-licensed microSD Express cards that have Mario's stamp on them, because the other ones like Gamestop and Lexar have a capped speed
This is the gayest most anti consumer thing I have heard so far about the switch 2 and someone this is buried in a random thread

>>714002686
Not all storage is created equally, and the SD standards are only minimum standards. Some brands will perform better than others, and that won't necessarily be reflected by a badge or certification on the package. It's always been like this. Do your research.
by the way, anyone who buys a sophisticated electronic device from the GameStop house brand deserves whatever they get.

>>714003013
Oh they are still hitting the hardware cap. I thought anon was implying they were throttling them

>>713987265 (OP)
gonna be nice to see in a few years when i buy a cheap used switch 2 so i never give any money to nintendo

wow now my games run at a native 720p!

>>714003430
Are you illiterate?

>>713997368
Legends Arceus is a fantastic game you shitstain. Go hatch eggs or do Smogon VR trans battles.

>>713995571
But they already run fine

>>714003731
you have to be a tard to believe they arent using some sort of upscaling

>>714002686
Bargain brands have had shittier data speeds since forever. That's what you're getting in order to save $5.

>>714003854
>pokemon
>fantastic
You are either a child or slow adult.

>>714003886
Nope, it's native. The next-gen upscaling technology they're pushing on Switch 2 is not available through backwards compatibility. These games clearly still demonstrate all the characteristic flaws that are eliminated by AI upscaling. A 5-6x increase in resolution plus framerate improvements over the Switch 1 is roughly in line with what we know about the new hardware.

On that note, the Splatoon 3 patch has made me a lot more confident that Metroid Prime 4 will genuinely be delivering 4K60 and 1080p120. The Switch 2 is definitely capable of running Switch 1-level software at 4K60 in the hands of the right developer.

Come on Monolithsoft, I've been waiting years to replay Xenoblade 3.

>>713987472
And Bayonetta too :3

Xenoblade 3 literally got a Switch 2 patch dumbnuts. It may not be what you wanted, but it got one already. Xenoblade X hasn't gotten anything from Switch 2.

>>713987265 (OP)
>5-6x resolution increases are typical.
wtf what game ran at 360p or less to begin with?

Capcom games aren't getting Switch 2 patches, especially not for free. Capcom is the greediest motherfucker out there, don't you people remember how they snuck in microtransaction crystals in Dragon's Dogma 2? Street Fighter has been a monetization money grabbing IP for years. They literally couldn't care less about their games quality when they can just resell them again, I passionately hate Capcom as a publisher. Capcom would sooner end of service their cloud games on Switch 1 (Resident Evil remakes, RE7, RE Village) than give anyone a free patch.

The more recent the Switch 1st party game, the higher the odds of it getting a Switch 2 free patch. That's why Xenoblade X gets mentioned more, because it quite literally dropped months ago and it didn't outsell 2 or 3. The 1st party games with hardcoded FPS limits (Animal Crossing) are things Nintendo could do over a weekend but chooses not to because reasons. Super Smash Bros Ultimate is currently on Nintendo's backwards compatibility with issues problems page because a Switch 1 and Switch 2 fighting and someone selecting a Mii fighter forces the match to immediately end. I haven't heard anyone mention the Pikmin games, those could get a 4K resolution patch. Going through the list and the number of Switch 1 games that could get either 4K or 60FPS (potentially both) and there's too many that Nintendo is sleeping on. Then they patch Clubhouse games with Switch 2 support for reasons I'll never understand. It gives me hope that if ARMS got updated, so can Xenoblade 2 which was released in the same year. Splatoon 2 could use a 4K free update too, easy to implement.

Xenoblade 2 going get DE, no way they going lose free money like that.

Also game is ridiculous unpolished in terms of performance as memory leaks never got fixed.

>>714006459

Why do you lie?

>>714007834
He means that it got this one random update which fixed some unspecified bugs that only happened in the Switch 2.

I need the bayonetta trilogy and astral chain

>>714006459
Nintendo considers the "upgrade patch" to be a specific concept, and they have a list of upgraded games. Games like Pikmin 3 and Xeno 3 were updated for Switch 2. They did not receive upgrade patches. They had to be patched because they were broken on Switch 2, which is obviously a massively higher priority for Nintendo to address compared to a performance patch.

>>713995889
Ah yes the "I play on a shit 32 inch tv" cope.
Try 65 and up, like most adults have in their living room. Its a big difference

>>714007341
>Then they patch Clubhouse games with Switch 2 support for reasons I'll never understand
Because it's the single best tech demo for "Gameshare". It's probably the only good Gameshate title right now, because the games are simple enough to not be a bad experience on what is honestly a very flawed feature. But it can project three completely different additional rendered screens to other consoles, which is perfect for card games.

>>713995231
Ye----ah emul---a---ting at 60 ultra sm-o-ooo-oth-th fps.

It sucked man. I also emulated totk before release, on a 4090 12700k 64gb ram(miss me with your pc sucks shit) and it was a terrible experience. I quit after 2 hours and bought the game

>>713996617
I played it like that at release. fucking tendies

>>714007341
>The more recent the Switch 1st party game, the higher the odds of it getting a Switch 2 free patch
There's a huge range of release dates in the titles they've patched so far. ARMS was a launch window game.

>>714007486
>Xenoblade 2 going get DE, no way they going lose free money like that.
They can just make it a "Switch 2 Edition" with a $20 upgrade patch if that's the path they want to go down.

>>714007341
Sega is selling stuff at full price rather than offering a patch.

Sonic Generations have no option to upgrade and only benefit is performance, same goes to raidou.

>>713987472
This. This is why Switch2 launch feels like a bust to me.

>>714010168
XB2 was ridiculous undercooked and got mostly outsourced due monolith being busy with zelda.

Torna only scratches the surface of unused content.

>>713997452
Nice, so you can get into the blurry 540p slop 3x faster, impressive. They need to do an actual upgrade patch.

>>713995026
Is this coming from the PCvegan that boasts about playing TotK at 4K on PC?

>>714012057
Turn that into an updated trilogy collection with additional bonus content for Xeno X.

>>714012281
They probably going add 3 cast as blades, Nips really loved the system despite everything.

>>713987265 (OP)
Trying to buy BOTW and TOTK upgrade packs. eShop is rejecting my CC's (all 4!) in what is probably a security thing to prevent new accounts from loading up tons of purchases within some account confirmation window. I'll try again tomorrow or just buy gift cards or something.

>>713995026
Nvidia DLDSR is actually fucking amazing. If you have a RTX card, try it out. Rendering at above display resolution and then downsampling gives you such a crisp image especially with lights, reflections, transparency (this is a huge boost)... I'd guess if the Switch 2 is capable of higher res while still hitting 60fps, you're getting some kind of DLDSR going on. Specular lighting on the right squid's ears looks way better than what a 1080p zoomed in shot should be.

>>714012463
My friends and I (four in all) played years ago, and raced to see who could collect all of them. It turns out we all fell into different probability tables, with me in the broken table 5 where the pity system doesn't work. I still won

>>714006459
Switch games got compatibility patches since they don't work out of the gate even if non-upgraded. That's not a dedicated performance patch.

switch 1 emulation has been a thing for ages. This is a nonfactor

>>713987265 (OP)
Who cares? You can play all this slop on the Steam Deck for free via piracy and they all ran at 60fps before Nintendo's free upgrade. Nintendo is so jewish that you booklicking cucks praise them for giving you something as simple as a 60fps upgrade for free
