During the recent live broadcast from Nintendo, comparisons were shown between Breath of the Wild running on the Nintendo Switch and its imminent successor, the Switch 2. Although the 2017 game has been acclaimed for its immense open world, its performance on the original Switch presents notable limitations. At 30fps, the colors appear dull and the details are blurry, with an overall feeling that the world of Hyrule cannot be enjoyed in all its splendor.
A remarkable improvement for an excellent game
However, the images of Breath of the Wild on Switch 2 reveal a considerable improvement, with vibrant colors and much sharper details. The vegetation showcases multiple shades of green and phenomena like dust and fog have a better visual representation. This version not only promises a rejuvenated aesthetic but also offers loading times that are five times faster, significantly transforming the gaming experience.
The players who followed the broadcast expressed their frustration in the chat, asking for a reduction in prices, suggesting that not everyone is happy with the cost of the new console. However, the advancements are not limited to just the visuals; Link’s movements on the new console are noticeably smoother, adding a crucial component to the gameplay that fans of the saga have been waiting for.
Additionally, the new Knockout Tour mode for Mario Kart was mentioned, which allows races with up to 24 players. Although little information was provided about it, the introduction of this mode has been described as a revolution in the field of racing, which promises to keep players on edge about future updates and releases from Nintendo.
