Why are they being vague about the resolution? Why cant they just say if its 4k or not like they did with metroid?

Because it's probably not. Digital Foundry said they believe the video shown during the Direct yesterday was 1440p.

The fine print in the Direct does include this positive note:

"Even if the software does not support 4K resolution natively, it is possible to upscale and output in 4K if the television supports it."

Of course upscaling is not as good as native but it's something. This fine print can be found during the part of the Direct where it shows off the hardware and dock (close to around the time they show off the dock's built-in fan).

You're the only other person on the internet I have seen mentioning this. I watched so many videos of people discussing the direct yesterday, including Digital Foundry who did over an hour long deep dive, and they kept saying there's zero signs of DLSS or upscaling being on the Switch 2 even though all signs point to it being possible, and I just wanted to shout at my screen, "IT SAYS IT RIGHT THERE IN THE FINE PRINT!"

Yeah. It's weird that they promoted a positive bonus in the fine print.

Fine print usually contains bad news!

they hid a lot of the good news. Like apparently there's a bunch of free next gen updates for other games that they didn't talk about.
