nice improvement to the clarity. Really makes everything look less blurry, especially in the distance.

really hope we see more free improvements like this on Switch 1 games.

Jin_Sakai7d ago

First game I played on Switch 2. Much sharper and cleaner image compared to the original.

Cacabunga7d ago

I won’t be able to notice difference unless both versions are side by side

A lot of games that have no official Switch 2 update already run WAY better just from the hardware itself. It's fantastic getting to play all these games in a much better state. So glad I hardly played any of my Switch collection over the years, lol. This will make experiencing them for the first time so much better.

A nice resolution upgrade to one of my fav games but i’m still not buying the Switch “2”

darthv727d ago (Edited 7d ago )

This and Mario/Bowser are ones I will pop in later. I hope other devs offer some patches, like xenon racer on SW1 is 30fps and it really is better at 60.

Goodguy017d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Great it was 60 frames on switch 1 though. Definitely sacrificed resolution however.

Neonridr7d ago

I mean it targeted 60 on the Switch 1, but it wasn't always solid.

GhostScholar7d ago

I’ll never know why fans let Nintendo get away with not competing graphically and never putting their games on sale.

Chard7d ago

Unfortunately the games are fun. They’ve got us by the balls

GhostScholar7d ago

I’m a fan of their exclusives as well but if the hardware had the same capabilities as the x and ps5 and I could have all the third party stuff plus the Nintendo exclusives it would be my main console

Neonridr6d ago

@GhostScholar - if the Switch 2 had the same capabilities as the X and PS5 it would cost over $1000 and the battery would last for 5 minutes.

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Levii_9234d ago

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil33d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

Wayyy to many games to list but the first 3 that popped in my head.
1.Okami
2.ESPN NFL 2K5
3.GTA San Andreas

DarXyde194d ago

Good list, but I would replace Onimusha with a Onimusha 2.

Amplitude194d ago

Amplitude still holds up brilliantly

Agent75193d ago

I'd say Onimisha 2 and Turismo 4 was better. Maximo, Auto Modellista, Shox, Wipeout Fusion and pulse, Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution to name a few.
