Probably because the dynamic resolution scaling doesn't need to throttle it back anymore.
And smoother frame rates. A fully customised Animal Crossing island now has no lag. Age of Calmity seems smooth etc.
But they are also saying, like me that in portable mode the resolution sucks with NS1 games in handheld mode NS2
Switch 2 suddenly recognised my TV has hdr and let me calibrate it.
I fiddled around with it to get it looking nice. Need not to blast the brightness and have the left test image still clearly visible.
It doesn't matter if the right test image doesn't completely disappear.
Our original Switch stopped charging the left joycon. :/ luckily we have an OLED as well, but since the joycon can be used with Switch2 as well I'm now considering buying one of those charger docks.
I am really impressed with the Switch 2 tech. But honestly, would it have killed Nintendo to put in a proper game clock instead of "You have played Mario Kart World for about six hours or so"?
RE9 trailer is up! Switch 2 exclusive.
Resident Evil 9 trailer looked awesome and it’s scheduled to come out February 27th, 2026. Nice.
Getting ahead of GTA by two months.
So if you choose the Gamecube app then hold the left stick, the original GC intro screen pops up. Sweet, sweet memories.
Summer Game Fest was mostly a dud but a few standouts. Of course RE9 was the big one, finally glad to see the ruins of Raccoon City. They didn't show Leon but he is the co star. The chick is the daughter of the news lady from Outbreak, which hopefully gets a revival soon. I heard RE9 should be coming to switch 2 as well, I'm sure it will all be announced later.
now I'm going to try some Mina The Hollower demo.
I had a session yesterday where it all just clicked and I had a blast playing. The world is really fun to explore, there are some great challenges, even full hidden mini races. The knock mode is the absolute best, as is driving down a high way on the way to a new track and it's total chaos. It's like Fury Road Mario style.
I bought a very cheap 3rd party charging grip on Amazon. It was £7 with free postage. It's basically a V shape with a usb c cable. But it does the job.
I had a decent session in free roaming last night and felt the same. It's awesome, I'm going to be using this as the main mode. Don't know why it's hidden on the menu screen under map.My God, they need to release a demo so people can see how it looks.
I'm well aware that the game is 1080p, but whatever Switch 2 is doing in its final 4k output render seems crazy. Honestly it looks native 4k in the hour I've played thus far. No blurriness, no jaggies, clean and crisp.
DLSS is indeed black magic. I've seen DLSS 3.5 and 4 in action. This looks closer to 4 with the only telltale signs being some hair dithering.
I have seen every single pre-release youtube footage of this game, and it comes nowhere close to how good the game actually looks.
There was one point where I wondered at what point did Nintendo sell its soul to the devil to get this console capable of this?
It's completely changed my perception of this console and the kind of games it can potentially run.
You guys may have bought it as a companion console only for 1st party games, but it can legitimately stand on its own.
Now in terms of Switch 2 specific features, they seem to want to revive the Wii era lol.
You can make it play like Red Steel with motion sword attacks. There's gestures for reloading and gyro aiming. Honestly very fun but I think I might stick to gyro aiming but normal combat controls.
It does feel satisfying whopping a katana on a dudes head with motion though.
HDR on the tv which costs half as much does look not bright enough and not as colourful.
Think you need a good tv for decent HDR.
So glad I got a QD OLED over the WOLED Samsung panel lottery.
Edit- turned hdr off on the cheaper tv. Makes it bright, colourful and sharp. You need a good bright tv for hdr content, my friend has the same problem when watching hdr movies, it goes dimmer and he hates it.
It's fine on the more expensive tv I have and it's fine on the Switch 2 screen though I may try turning it off and seeing if it's brighter without it.
Oh I tried mouse controls on Cyberpunk. You can't seamlessly switch between modes like Prime 4.
The mouse is super sensitive, you can 180 easily. You have to dial back sensitivity a lot. It's not comfortable without a controller shell of some kind I think.
Gg, could you link to the slingbag that you are using for a carrying case?
HDR needs high brightness to make the colors and darker details pop. My LG C2 OLED is around 800 nits, I believe. Lower cost TVs don't go that high, maybe 300-500. According to DF John, the Switch 2 LCD is around 400 nits and he couldn't notice HDR on it.
Be sure to disable any energy savings features on your TVs if you want max brightness. These are usually on by default and will significally reduce the overall brightness of your TV.
You can see the hdr on Cyberpunk portable when you turn it on and off.It's actually a higher brightness than the Switch OLED but the OLED has better contrast obviously with perfect blacks.
On the great OLED TV HDR is rather obvious when you calibrate the Switch 2 properly.
FANDARE Outdoor Sling Chest Bag... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08S3N5335?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
It's really good. I've seen it on ebay USA too so it might be cheaper there.
The back is padded, the front is a hard shell. It has a combination lock built in. It's a sling bag so less cumbersome than a backpack and you can change the strap orientation to use as a one strap shoulder bag or chest bag.
Also has a hidden side pocket which fits a bottle or pair of joycons.
And it has a USB pass through port for rigging up your Powerbank and charging it while the battery stays in the bag.
I managed to fit a Switch 2 with joycons attached, the controller grip, a 24 card game case, 4 joycon straps, a charging grip for Switch 1 joycons, and headphones.
Also seen this carrying case specifically designed for portable consoles, steam deck, switch 2 etc though i would check the dimensions carefully first.
It looks more sleek and probably offers better protection than my one but is slimmer and seems to fit a lot less than my one.
