An update on this, there's another interview here with Playtonic saying: "DLSS and Nintendo’s upscaler are becoming available now and we look forward to seeing what they can do for us in future." Maybe it's DLSS and a Nintendo upscaler which isn't called DLSS? www.nintendolife.com/features/a-h...

@dark1x.bsky.social Ubisoft says there is only one version of DLSS for Switch 2 in this interview back from June. Doesn't seem like there is a distinction between full DLSS and lite DLSS for Switch 2 devs? www.videogameschronicle.com/features/int...

When developing Star Fox™, we thought it was fitting for some of our team to visit the Fushimi Inari Shrine during a trip to Kyoto. We are very honored to have had the chance to work on this beloved franchise. #StarFox #NintendoSwitch2

We’ve been passionately working on this for a while, and we’re so proud to finally share it with the world: Velan Studios is the developer of Star Fox™! Collaborating with Nintendo and bringing Fox McCloud and crew to Nintendo Switch 2 is truly an honor. #StarFox #NintendoSwitch2
The image is the official box art for Star Fox™ on Nintendo Switch 2. The Nintendo Switch 2 logo is at the top of the red the casing. The box cover art shows the pilots, from left-to-right: Slippy, Falco, Fox, and Peppy standing heroically. Behind them, an orange galaxy display with their respective Arwings soaring through space.

This has happened for years now, it's because the Switch 2 upgrade for the Switch 1 version is $10, so the Switch 2 version is $10 more as it comes with the upgrade.

Okay so here's the changes to SNES Nintendo Classics 5.0.0: - Button Remapping, and they went back to detail the controls of every single game - New CRT Filter (not sure if it's Switch 2 only?) - SNES Mouse support for all games supported (yes, not just Mario Paint!), can use USB or Joy Con 2.

the "switch 2 is cheaper in japan" is going to persist like when people said "it's possible to make games like the witcher 3 on a lower budget" because people don't know anything about currency, exchange rates, or even the most basic economy

I wouldn't necessarily think so. I think Sparks of Hope is programmed to be locked at 30fps. The Switch 2 would absolutely be able to run the game at 60fps but the game itself won't allow it because of the cap.
000
Skipper93653 @skipper93653.bsky.social · 10/06/2025
Unfortunately, it's capped at 30fps. It'll need an update to reach 60fps.

@digitalfoundry.bsky.social Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle goes from a locked 30fps on Switch 1 to a locked 60fps on Switch 2 WITHOUT a patch. The game must've been using double-buffered v-sync this entire time and so was locked to 30fps as it couldn't reach 60fps on Switch 1 but can on Switch 2!

Nintendo plan to spend a record ¥140 billion (approx $966 million) in advertising for the next fiscal year. Switch 2 will have a big push, it seems.

I know I shouldn't be bothered for this, but seeing reactions from press and people just somewhat made me angry. There are definitely things to say in how Nintendo may not have revealed enough for...

Skipper93653 @skipper93653.bsky.social · 03/12/2024
Yeah they are making us wait a good while for the first 3DS game. However, I do think they'll put Miitopia under Switch as I think they'll include the music that came with the extra content in the Switch remaster.

I think my most anticipated OST release for Nintendo Music is Miitopia. It's an enormous, quality soundtrack that has never been officially released before. I don't know how long it'll take but I'll be there for it.

That's cool! I think that now marks the second time a game has been transferred from NEX to NPLN with the other being Luigi's Mansion 2 HD as the original game on 3DS used NEX but 2 HD uses NPLN.

So I saw the version was 3.0.0. And I actually found that very odd because it shouldn't. Turns out I was right to find it suspicious: THEY CHANGED THE NETWORK CODE FROM NEX TO NPLN! There's a huge amount of refactors in the code.

I will point out that the Lead Game Designer, Lead Battle Designer, Lead Event Designer etc. for Brothership were all from AlphaDream so these weird design changes were still essentially given the go-ahead by AlphaDream vets.

Skipper93653 @skipper93653.bsky.social · 21/11/2024
I have a feeling a key factor is that the individual who reviewed Brothership for IGN also dislikes Dream Team and as Brothership is most similar to Dream Team (based on my experience), it makes sense as to why they don't like Brothership.

This would be so negative Sony would own essentially all anime and niche devs like Spike Chunsoft and Acquire lose a larger audience. Would also mean Mario & Luigi go another decade seeking a studio
