  • The console is backward compatible. It will run all Switch 1 games without buying any upgrade packs.

    Will the game run on 1080p with crapy fps on Switch 2

    Very likely, yes. The system basically emulates a Switch 1, and emulators must add limits to virtual chips because otherwise there would be bugs.

    For instance, when I first started emulating BotW, there was a 60 FPS patch. It made the game unplayable for me. The menu selections moved too fast. If I pressed Up or Down a little too long, it would jump the selection to the top or bottom. I ended up choosing the wrong thing in so many conversations that I got frustrated and turned it off. Eventually the devs released another patch that makes menus work better at 60fps.

    Stuff like that is exactly what this upgrade patch will do. It fixes the game to run as if it were a native Switch 2 game, because it’s not!

    There are no new textures. Only better resolution with upgrade pack. So you gonna play 4k TOTK with the same textures.

    OK, I guess I misunderstood. I still think it’ll look fine. The textures are cartoony anyways, and in 4k, the objects will be so sharp. Text will probably be updated if it doesn’t already use a vector font, but I’m just guessing on that.


  • The upgrade pack will act like DLC that modifies the game to load off of internal storage on the console. That’ll be faster than loading it off of a switch cartridge. The textures will be enhanced as well, and downloaded from Nintendo servers onto your console.

    So how you are suppose to play it in Switch 2 without an upgrade pack?

    You just put it in and it runs. Exactly like putting a Game Cube game in a Wii. Or a PS1 game in a PS2. How is this not obvious?

    What you gain?

    Nothing, except now you can sell your Switch 1 and still play your original Switch games, and not have to have two consoles.





  • Much of that stuff looks collected, not crafted. The only things that clearly looked crafted were some of the stands that looked like castles and some of the wall panels, and they all looked like XPS foam cut with a hot wire then painted. Except maybe the whale. That would have used a hot knife, instead, and a bit more skill.

    Cutting XPS foam with a hot wire is easy to learn, and relatively inexpensive. Spray painting and dry brushing are also easy to learn. What I’m saying is, get started, if you want.

    (Do you have reason to believe those figurines were hand crafted? They didn’t look so to me. Of course, if they were, that would certainly justify your sentiment!)
