i think so, but not including the before pics, so you can't really notice any difference, but apparently more pokemon can actually appear at once now, damn, and less low-poly models in the distance. apparently draw distance is better, less things are culled and disappear like buildings and textures. it's wild just how awful these games perform currently

but we're a very small indie studio, please understand

TPC is so pathetic now. I've seen mobile games look better than this. Nintendo should protect their brand more.

The reality is that Nintendo needs to take direct control of Pokmon. It's depressing to consider that relatively speaking, S/V look & perform worse than the Stadum games, the Gamecube games, & Battle Revolution, & some of it doesn't even need the handicap of how much older those games are.

right? how about the games people are still playing, like mario kart 8, smash bros, splatoon, etc

somebody said games that are already made to target 60fps aren't included in the list, because no changes are needed to take advantage of switch 2 hardware, but i dunno... nintendo's gonna nintendo, they just do stupid shit

Are those free updates for the games, or the "$10 more to upgrade"?

Nice. I wonder what decides which games will be free upgrades and which will be paid upgrades, though. I'd like to see videos of the Pokemon games updates rather than a couple screen shots.

If anything, those games are prime targets for upgrades. Games already hitting 60FPS on switch could have their resolution increased and still hit 60 given the additional power available. With Metroid Prime 4 coming out, Having the remaster increased from it's 900P cap to match the options available for Prime 4 would be awesome.

All the ones that are being charged for have some additional functionality or content added.
-Mario Party is getting new minigames
-Zelda is getting the smartphone features (yea...)
-Kirby is getting an expansion

The free ones for the most part just seem to be settings tweaks.

i agree, the consumer deserves a lot after so many years of substandard hardware and performance, but nintendo is complacent in treating its entire playerbase like we're just stupid kids who don't know what frames or resolution mean anyway, we just want the bing bing wahoo

It's more that most of these upgrades are first party games that already perform adequately.

Let's see ports like Super Mega Baseball 4, Ys VIII, or something brought up to the level they should've been.

nintendo is the best

That's GameFreak for ya.

They really need to hire talented people in their studio. They've always been garbage at coding and optimization, it's just the games being 2D and/or not-HD hid a lot of their lack of talent.

Oh I know theyve always been garbage devs. Even Gen 1 was held together by duct tape and a dream. Theyre just lucky that the IP blew up the way it did because otherwise Im certain they would have shut down years ago
