- Smash Ultimate: a bug fix and no res patch
- MK8DX: likely won't get a patch because they're trying to sell a new Mario Kart
- Splatoon 2: not EOS but 3 is it's successor

It's not like older games in the franchise (Splat 2/Mario Kart) would cannibalize new games sales though

Not mention BOTW/TOTK but those are their own paid upgrade packs

It seems like most games do improve from greater performance but don't get a res patch.

oh and fortnite switch 2 doesn't run 1080/4k in either handheld/docked which is a bit underwhelming but it runs better than switch 1 at least.
No STW tho which sucks...

Probably just not worth it to patch those games from a financial perspective, I doubt it's super easy or fast

I dont care

Thanks xdqwerty what would we do without knowing you don't care about everything

Cool cool

Honestly, I would decouple the basic resolution and framerate stuff from paid upgrades altogether and would have them be mandatory (for the developer) free downloads. Surely, they could be subsidized with the actual paid upgrades which have better textures and more content?

It looks like they're not interested in proving it took them longer than an hour of so of adjusting memory/perf limits and compiling for the new platform.

There's no excuse in this day and age -- eShop is capable of downloading any variant of any game, and infra can't possibly be so expensive to maintain to justify paying the Switch 2 premium for the same game. Proper new content would be valuable, at least.

Probably needs play testing for each title and quality control that makes it more expensive than you are willing to admit
