Been 8 years since I played this, I'm hoping for a locked framerate.
Great news, although I only tested my Switch 1 games portable where they suffered from 720p resolution - almost ALL Switch 1 games, even unpatched runs better on Switch 2.
Games that were unstable but have a 30 fps cap are now locked 30.
Same for 60fps target games, they are now 60fps locked.
Games with an uncapped framerate now boost to a 60fps, never dipping in most cases.
Games are loading faster across the board, Animal Crossing loads 1 min slower on Switch 1.
Other games with dynamic resolution scaling hold a high resolution now with gamers saying they look sharper.
Of course they will still have low res textures and stuff.
I tried Arms with the patch, this was already really polished, now it's in 4k. You still have to use a grip or play in handheld for normal controls. Great game, still feels so fresh.
They won't ship those bags to the states.
Did you search for it on the US Amazon site?
I watched a video on Dragon Warrior 1 on NES and was surprised that you don't have a party, just a single character from begining to end. Kinda reminds me of a turn-based Zelda. That frequent battle music would drive me nuts, lol.
I've gone back a few times to replay it, but I rarely get more than about 2 or 3 hours in before I get tired of the battles which are essentially: Attack, attack, heal if the battle is still going on, repeat as necessary.
That said, I still prefer it to Dragon Quest 2. Because it's such a basic game, it doesn't bog you down with filler side quests. It's very straight into the point. DQ2 is a goddamn mess. I'm not sure how much extra work they're putting into these games for the 2D-HD Re-Release, but if they don't do too much, I think a lot of people are going to wonder why they bought it.
Y-y-y-yes..... no
Switch 2 fixed Lego City. It already had awesome image quality but the framerate was jarring on Switch.
Switch 2 just locks it, I can't even tell if it's 60 or 30 it's just smooth and the image quality is so good.
Now I need to check Doom.
It's on ebay.comhttps://ebay.us/m/fkgQya it's here
Controls are way better than the Wii u/ switch game. Feels more like Fzero but holy shit this game looks great.
There's 4 graphics modes, even on basic 1080p it looks great, but when I shift it up each gear it looks better and better.
Smooth AF too.
Edit - what in the actual world? I enabled Ultra Quality mode.
Wtf? How is a 1cm device doing this? When Shinen said 4k textures etc I thought they were bull shitting...
The Switch 2 is actually a beast.
This system is 1 update away from being totally awesome, allowing switch 1 games to run at higher resolutions in handheld mode.
I've seen videos today of The Witcher 3 at a solid framerate and running much sharper.
Honestly if they do fix the 720p handheld resolution for switch 1 games I'd sell my OLED.
I made a thread collecting all the ways Switch 2 is forcing improvements to switch 1 games

Might have to replay this. It was fun but technically quite inconsistent before.
The Leslie Benzies interview is legitimately interesting. For those of you who don;t know him he was "the fixer" at Rockstar over the course of the GTA series development.
Nice. That’s one of a number of Switch 1 games I have sitting in my backlog.
I read that as "fluffer" at first glance. I will check it out.
I love everything about tihs image:
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
- Docked: stable 30 fps and framepacing, max-out its dynamic res
- Handheld: same yet the issue is that the max dynamic res is low, so the end result is not that good because of the double upscaling (first one at 720p and the second one at 1080p)
Seriously awesome Rainbow road.
Music is just amazing.
Need to try knockout tour.
Can't get a hold of the rail riding. I find it so hard to prep the jump and line it up.
Fast Fusion actually has a jump button which works far better.
I just downloaded all the Snowrunner updates. Need to see if performance is improved on Switch 2
