    Thank you. The circlejerking has gotten so far out of hand and it’s tiring. It’s gotten to the point where I can’t say I’m excited for Kirby Air Riders without someone following me around to tell me I am literally killing gaming - and yes, that was an actual reply guy I had to deal with.

    I don’t go into into communities for things I hate just to annoy the people there, and I don’t understand why anyone feels the need to come here just to be obnoxious.



  • Deltarune - Not sure if this is being categorized as a patch, but if you buy it on Switch 1 you can upgrade to the Switch 2 version for free.

    Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma - $10 upgrade pack. Interestingly, the Switch 2 physical is a special cart that can boot the Switch 1 version on legacy hardware, or the bundled upgrade pack on Switch 2.

    I believe those are the only two so far, and they’re cross-gen launch titles rather than any older releases. Sega on the other hand is notably not doing this, they’re porting a few of their Switch 1 titles at full price with no upgrade option.




  • If you try reading those patch notes they’ll tell you exactly what kinds of modern hardware some of these changes are targeted at:

    • Steam Deck optimizations
    • Improved controller support
    • Default gamma reduced since you’re probably not playing on a CRT anymore, and resolution no longer defaults to 640x480
    • Ultrawide FOV support for ultrawide monitors
    • Lowest quality settings removed since no one is running hardware that weak anymore
    • Software renderer fixed on hardware that doesn’t support 16-bit color
