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!

    Are we really calling tweaking a config file a “remaster” now? This is the bare minimum for a new console, IMO, and it is absurdly disgusting they thought some of these “upgrade packs” should cost money.

      I mean, that’s what publishers have been charging money for for way too long.

      There’s been like three versions of The Last of Us 1, and I’ve got games older than that on my back list.

          They’re not charging for performance upgrades. The only paid DLC packs are the ones that are, well, actual DLC. What makes that more “disgusting” than any other DLC?

            Yes, they are. If you want 60 FPS and a higher resolution in the two open-world Zelda games, you either need to pay more or have NSO + Expansion Pack. There is no justifiable reason for these to be bundled in with the “Zelda Notes” shit (that’s a smartphone app and not even part of the game).
