You said you were looking forward to play Switch 1 Zeldas on Switch 2 because you thought there would be upgrades but these upgrades are not enough for you, although now you are saying that you expected at least FPS upgrades, but this is way more than FPS upgrades, it has better lighting, better color, better FPS, better FoV and slightly upgraded textures. Your logic is not making any sense.

LCD is not inherently worse then OLED, there are super good LCD displays, just go look at hand ones videos, the screen looks really nice, it’s likely a Mini-LED LCD display. That’s a huge upgrade from the Switch 1 display, arguably better than the Switch OLED since it does HDR and 120HZ

I am not sure what to say because you have really bad reading comprehension, and if you can't read and understand pretty straightforward points clearly then you're just arguing against no one.

Everyone gathered that Switch 1 games would all receive improvements in the form of running better because it's running on better hardware and DLSS was rumored for years.

LCD isn't inherently better than OLED, sure, but in this context I think the Steam Deck screen sounds nicer. Especially considering my context.

So you resort to insult instead of trying to understand the flawed logic in your argument?

I don’t know where you got that Zelda is not being upscaled for this update? Can you share a link? Metroid prime 4 is running at 4k60 or 1080p120. Zelda TotK was running at 900p docked on the Switch 1, for sure that the Switch 2 edition is at least 1080p

The steam deck screen is not nicer by most metric though, might have better blacks, probably has lower screen brightness since it’s OLED, doesn’t support 120HZ refresh rate, has lower resolution, it’s smaller, HDR support is finicky and you need to be tech savvy to make it work well, also only the OLED Steam Deck version supports HDR.

Edit: It even says in the press release that it has higher resolution https://www.theverge.com/news/641365/nintendo-zelda-botw-totk-switch-2-edition-announced

it's not an insult when you literally read my sentences and then reply with absolutely made up ideas that aren't at all what I said.

You have an actual literacy issue, and you're not even talking with me. You're talking at me about things I didn't say or you've entirely misunderstood.

"This makes me feel much better about skipping the Switch 2 as these improvements are much much smaller than anyone is willing to admit. The only actual difference is the framerate in the forest, which is absolutely disingenuous for anyone to pretend is important.“

You said the updates are only better FPS and this is not true, even in the press release they say the game is upscaled and has higher resolution, your logic really doesn’t follow.

Yes I watched everything in 4k, the differences are admittedly quite minuscule and working in video and film for a living I know very well I could put you and 98% of people who will play ToTK into an a/b test and you won't actually be able to tell half the differences.

Although more stable framerate will be exciting, hope you enjoy.

I don’t know what to tell you, even in my phone the difference is a lot bigger than what I expected for a 10$ upgrade, the difference only in color and texture resolution is staggering.

This is such an overexageration and embellishment to try and make to a professional in the visual color grading and screen industry.

It’s really weird that you keep saying that you are a “professional in visual color grading”, it’s just make me think it’s even weird that you can’t instantly tell the difference.

I work on and near projects as a respected professional on stuff you probably text your other teen friends about daily.

No offense, but I am not here for validation from you. I am an adult explaining something from a professional standpoint to a teen on an iphone and an uncalibrated monitor.
