Part 7/11:
This situation exemplifies a broader concern for Nintendo Switch owners: many Switch games—particularly non-first-party titles—are running at suboptimal resolutions when played on the Switch 2. Players have complained that, despite the new hardware, many Switch 1 titles are stretched to fit the 1080p screen, often looking worse than on the original console due to the stretched, pixelated images.
While some titles have received free updates to improve performance and resolution, most have not, leaving players with inconsistent experiences. The hope that the Switch 2 would automatically enhance older games turned out to be largely unfounded, especially for less popular or third-party titles that aren't prioritized by Nintendo.
