      No upgrades beyond 1080p resolution, despite some really low textures the game still holds up. But $50 is steep for a 20 year old game.

      Also personal side note, I wish they implemented motion controls similar to pikmin 3, but they didn’t.

      Some textures still low res 480p. Cutscenes and characters higher res. Perfect 30fps lock even with 100 pikman on screen.

      Emulators like dolphin run it at 60fps with mods available to upgrade textures and shaders significantly.

      Tldr: if you want it on switch, it’s a serviceable HD upgrade albeit at $50. If you want to play it in the best way possible, emulate and mod your old GameCube copy.
