New Patent Hints at Nintendo Switch 2 Featuring Advanced Upscaling Technology

Nintendo has released an updated patent for the handheld, suggesting that the Switch 2 will feature upscaling technology.

Quite good if it's able to take a internal 540p image to a 1080p image assuming this is handheld mode.

Also the article seems to have ran with upscaling of original games but there's no evidence of this after reading the patent it's just a generalised upscaling patent that doesn't call out generations

Rumours also seem to indicate a 21060p docked mode but who knows if that will be used by any games at this point it could very well be like the PS3 and it's 1080p mode we will see some leaks put it at PS4 pro performance so we will see

2160p seems like overkill. 1440p would be more than enough. Especially if it means maintaining higher framerates. I ain't going back to 30fps gaming! Not even for Nintendo games!

Right. I will always prefer a clean 1440 at 60FPS over a 4K at 30 FPS. And in portable mode it would be a complete waste especially if we are talking about a 1080P screen.

I'm curious how well that will play out. DLSS, while it has improved significantly with the new Transformer model, still introduces many artifacts and a certain "softness" to the image, especially when used with a low resolution like 720p.

That said, if the point of comparison is the original Switch, which displays a native 540p image in some games like Xenoblade, then any upscaling would likely be an improvement, even if it looks as broken or subpar as current DLSS does at low resolutions.

Just give me some Mario games metroid and zelda games that look good like the last switch and I'm gucci. Switch isn't my main system but I love it for what it does my Ps5 is my main as I'm sure Xbox users with a switch will feel the same way.

Hopefully they're not going to try and use AI upscaling technolog as a salve for poor tech specs.
