  They announced Metroid Prime 4 will be able to run at 1080p 120fps or 4K 60fps when docked. It doesn’t have the most impressive graphics or anything, but it sounds like they’re actually going to try doing it for a few games.

    I’d bet that’s using a lot of upscaling in both modes

      Switch 1 games can support dynamic resolution, it’s probably going to be used for higher end games on Switch 2 as well.

    Nintendo will try but based off of some of the third party gameplay they seem to be the only ones who will

  The real advantage of a 120 Hz screen is that you get a much more graceful degradation if you dip below your fps target for a bit. If you’re targeting 30 fps but drop to 25, it still feels pretty smooth on a high-refresh screen, whereas that’s appallingly clunky on a low-refresh one. A “poor man’s gsync”, if you will.

    This is what a lot of people don’t understand. Higher refresh rate even with lower fps makes games feel more responsive. I can play 30 fps games much better on a refresh rate higher than 60hz.

    Top the gsync comment, the Switch 2’s screen also has VRR

  Yes, for all but the simplest games it will be one or the other, not both at once.

    But how does Stardew Valley run?

      If you don’t have autorun on you just hold the stick all the way in one direction.

        After a week with Nintendo controllers you don’t even have to hold it anymore.

  Or it’s actually running at 720p30 and being FSR/framegenned into a blurry shimmery mess. There’s no way Nintendo managed to cram a chip powerful enough to render its own Switch 1 games at true 4k120 into a tablet.

    Nah the direct didn’t claim 4k at 120.

    You get 1080p at 120, or 4k at 60.

      Fixed.

        The problem isn’t getting enough computing power into the tablet, the problem is cooling and battery power.
