Nintendo's free Switch 2 upgrades for key Switch 1 titles are remasters in all but name

A bonus perk for Switch 1 owners. Digital Foundry confirms multiple Switch 1 games that ran like butt on the OG hardware are almost like remasters on the Switch 2. Not just improved frame rates, but many of the games also add in higher internal resolutions and/or upgraded settings!

Oblivion Remastered PC: Impressive Remastering, Dire Performance Problems

I'm a PC evangelist through and through, but there are a few consoles that have stolen my heart over the years: The Game Boy Advance, the GameCube, and, in 2017, the Nintendo Switch. After skipping out on the 3DS and Vita, it reminded me how magical portable gaming can be. The Switch transmuted some hand-me-down mobile/tablet tech from the mid 2010s into a gaming juggernaut through singular hardware design and great games.

The Switch made me excited about Nintendo again, an enthusiasm that has steadily dwindled once more in the face of the company's belligerence toward emulator developers and out-of-touch, consumer-unfriendly practices like subscription-based emulation of its classic games library.

I don't know what the company's follow-up console could have been other than an iterative upgrade to the original Switch, one of the greatest successes in its long history, but on

PlayStation 5 Pro Hands-On: 11 Games Tested, PSSR and RT Upgrades Revealed, Developers Interviewed!

TL;DW:

  • Many enhanced games are getting raytracing when they were using simpler lighting solutions previously
  • A surprising handful of games are getting 8K modes, though the 8K usually turns off other enhancements like raytracing. They mentioned GT7 and F1 2024 as two examples.
  • Most enhanced games are focusing on creating a "Performance Pro" mode, which more-or-less gives you the previous quality mode, but at 60fps. Some devs are planning on adding a "Quality Pro" mode that turns on even more features at the cost of FPS.
  • Most enhanced games are using PSSR to upscale from 1080-1440p to 4K.
  • PSSR seems to be better than FSR, but still a little worse than DLSS. Oliver noted a few cases of image breakup and ghosting around the edges.
  • Horizon: FW is not using PSSR, but somehow it seems to be the best-looking of all the enhanced games (in Oliver's opinion).
  • FF7R is dramatically improved image quality wise - previously, performance mode was real fuzzy.
  • Dragon's Dogma 2 is g
