Breath of the Wild Switch 2:

<mod edit: op low res image replaced> - For clarity the original image in the post was this:

Spoiler

Breath of the Wild Cemu with 21:9 ultra wide mod support:

I think the Switch 2 is a good console and that it will have a successful future. But these upgrades are a joke, and charging any money for them is an even bigger joke. It should be a complete freebie.

PC games receive much bigger upgrades and they many times make them free. Witcher Enhanced Edition, Bioshock Collection Remastered…

how do i get 21:9 ultra wide support on my switch 2

[metareferential]

Of course, how could a portable low-end system compare with unlimited power on pc?

Thank God for emulation, and fuck Nintendo's greedy ass; but that's just unfair.

I had to pay 10 dollars on PS5 to upgrade my Lost Legacy collection today.

Do you think PS5 is the same as Switch 2 when it comes to charging for upgrades? Because it seems the same...

It's only 10 dollars. I don't expect people to work for free.

I'm just mad that not every game has it. Make every game upgradable for 10 dollars and I'd upgrade my entire library. That would cost me like 1000 dollars but also would be money I'd likely be happy to pay in most cases. Specifically XBCX, Luigi's Mansion, and the most recent Kibry. This is a nothingburger as is the cost of the Switch 2 machine itself. The only cost issue with Nintendo is them charging an extra 10 bucks for the new Mario Kart and not having enough games ready at launch. I honestly think MK is a special case since the last game is one of the most popular games of all time and still sells at full price above most new games today....but also they should have made that clearer during the pricing announcement.

That first picture is bullshit or doesn't represent the upgrade. I saw uncompressed footage and it looked very beautiful. Sharp and detailed with a lot of popping colors. It was a night and day difference compared to OG Switch. It was not that blurry as that BS picture you provided.

Straight from official press photos. If you’ve got a better comparison I’m all ears.

PC can play (non-sony) games better? No way!

I bet next youre gonna tell me that games look and run better on the xbox series x than they do on the xbox 360, ‘cause thats just absurd logic right there

Then play your stupid mod and leave us alone.

You should've posted the actual screen resolution image and not the 415p version. How are people supposed to see the difference, lol.

Here is 4K 60fps footage. Doesn't look at all similar to that picture you posted.

It's 1440p v 900p.

No real difference. It’s just a higher resolution and framerate. Big whoop. Nothing that warrants charging extra. If this was a PC game you’d just bump up the settings yourself.

Welcome to Gaming

You can get a sub $500 console with decent performance for the price and then get assfucked with expensive games, paid multiplayer, paid .ini file updates next gen upgrades, etc.
Or you can get a PC where you get assfucked up front with insane hardware prices with MSRPs that are basically a myth (at lest for GPUs), but then you gain access to cheaper games, free multiplayer, games that automatically run better when you upgrade your hardware, etc.

 

[Durin]

The upgrade is honestly fine, you're going to get good scaling with good anti-aliasing with DLSS...it's just that they charge for it.

PS5 and XSX are doing this for free with pretty much every game. I never asked for a mobile app add-on either.

I don't see anything wrong with a $10 upgrade fee, it clearly looks better than the OG Switch (though kinda looks washed out).
Games should be using dynamic res though, that way the upgrade could be free.

Bioshock Collection Remastered was dogshit. Gamers have no taste.

Midrange PC gaming is still worth it. You can get many years out of it with good capabilities.

The bump from 30fps to 60fps is already worth it for me

Speak for yourself. It was a remaster not a remake, and it was provided for free. Not sure what the problem is.

Don't all these upgrades come "free" if you are subbed to Nintendo online?

I would suggest watching this hands on.

My answer is still the same……no thank you.

Can't play that on the shitter nor the train unfortunately. And no before you say it, I don't want a handheld PC. Not the current offerings anyway.

 

[Kataploom]

Yeah, probably, but after pirating for years when I was younger (thus dropping games due to emulation issues) and current emulators shader compilation stutters, I rather play on original hardware. Same applies to NSO emulators.

Also, I'm glad Nintendo isn't making changes beyond IQ and performance, I don't like "visual enhancements" to games that modify the art direction.

OT: that's not a fair comparison with high end PC. Also I don't get the WiiU reference at the title.

It’s more to do with it being no real effort being put into besides so garbage map that no one will use. Well besides the seven people here trying to defend it. It’s a plain cash grab, the more this is ok the more likely you’re going to pay for other games and next gen too etc.

I dunno man, if you have time to kick back and play a full blown game while on the toilet… sounds like you should probably get that checked out.

Breath of the Wild runs both on Wii U and Switch and now Switch 2. It’s a comparison from Cemu which an emulator for Wii U.

That actually looks awesome.

Whatever differences come to Switch 2, people will get used to them in 30minutes. PC looks transformative.

 

[kpopSuperstar]

Zelda PC emulation runs better but looks like a cheap k-pop concert with ugly saturation and messed up colors and glitches.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

That's exactly what a gpu upgrade is. Otherwise, a 5080 isn't doing anything that a 3080 can't do for example. You're paying more for better performance.

Couldn’t be further from the truth. You can run the game as vanilla as you want.

So the PC footage above is fake? Looks incredible. That looks miles improved over what I saw a couple years back.
