In-Depth Analysis of System Upgrades

This past weekend, Digital Foundry conducted an extensive analysis of how several renowned titles, including Super Mario Odyssey, Zelda: Link’s Awakening, and Echoes of Wisdom, have benefited from the Switch 2 hardware.

Stunning Visual Improvements

The Splatoon 3 upgrade elevates the game’s resolution dramatically, shifting from a dynamic 1080p to a stunning 4K in docked mode. In certain instances, the Nintendo Switch 2 boosts resolution up to six times higher; for example, where the original Switch renders at 864p, the new console displays the game at an impressive 2160p. Although in handheld mode the upgrades are more modest, the game still performs exceptionally, achieving a locked 60 FPS at a resolution of 1080p, which is a notable increase from the dynamic 720p found on the original hardware.
