now the real question is which companies will have the goodwill of updating their stripped-down ports without making you pay too much for them too many titles on Switch 1 are capped at 30FPS and/or are missing several graphical features forever

Should we be really celebrating a 30 fps achievement for a game that was released in 2015?

Do dynamic resolution games also improve their resolution, maxing out on Switch 2?

Jesus christ, Even PS5 , XSX AND XSS showed more framerates and performance options on games on 2020 specially coming more often on the PS5 and PS5 PRO than Xbox series consolés, THIS confirms than PS5 and PS5 PRO are the only sistems to optimize Games for Game developers

Digital Foundry Confirms: The Switch 2 Display is complete Dog Shit, from beginning to end. They claim: "SWITCH 2 Display is Worst than Base SWITCH 1 Display " "Display easily scratches due to plastic coating" " LCD Blur is very apparent and creates ghosting like images compared to the PSP 1000/GBA 101/Original non backlit GB" "Can't do proper HDR" "Switch 2 is a night and day difference against the Steam Deck OLED Display that has proper HDR" "VRR Display Implementation is very poor" "SWITCH 2 wouldn't be passing any rating test, it's one of the worst we've seen" In my Conclusion the Switch 2 has the worst Display of any modern handheld ever created, straight up laughable, Nintendo should be embarrassed. 🤌 #Weaktendo #Switch2

Leaked footage of Arkham Knight running on the Switch 2. There's a few minor downgrades, but I doubt anyone will really notice them.

Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity now running at a locked 30fps with no patch on Nintendo Switch 2. This area was TERRIBLE on Switch 1, now all we need is a resolution / 60fps patch before Age of Imprisonment.

🚨Digital Foundry Confirms 🚨 Batman Arkham knight continues to be a mediocre gaming experience on the Nintendo Switch 2. Claiming it hasn't changed much after the latest update. PC/SteamDeck version will be forever the best version to play either at home or the Go. Switch 2 is 🐕💩 #SteamDeck 💪

DF Confirms: Nintendo has been lying about the image quality of the clips they show to compare Switch 1 vs Switch 2 differences. Nintendo are FRAUDS!!! This is how I know The Switch 2 was just supposed to be a Switch 1 Pro, Nintendo purposely made the clips of Switch 1 look more washed out because the differences aren't that much different in general, Switch 1 games don't look much different than Switch 2 games. This is also the reason why Mario Kart World is really just a Switch 1 game pushed to the Switch 2 to make it seems like it's a next gen tittle... but we can all that it's not. Nintendo are lying about alot of things here, VRR and now this, we're going to find out that Metroid Prime 4 on the Switch 2 isn't much different than Switch 1 versions and that these 4K 120FPS claims are also lies. #Fraudtendo

Consider these 2 scenarios: 1. You pick the door with the car (1/3 chance): • You switch, you lose 2. You pick a door with a goat (2/3 chance): • Monty shows the other goat • You switch, you win Switching wins 2/3 of the time. Eventually, she was proven right...

CNBC: It is extraordinary the declines we've seen in the last two days in a row. It's been uncommon to see declines like this in the past 50 years or so. In fact, the Nasdaq has only had back to back 5% declines 3 times, ever. One of the biggest 2 day sell offs we've seen in recent days
