The Nintendo Switch 2 should see a fair amount of ports and support if its performance will indeed be in the ballpark of the Xbox Series S, but things may drastically change once next-generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft are out.

Known leaker 'Midori' has backed a years-long rumor about the existence of a The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Switch port. For several years, several sources have been claiming that Nintendo is sitting on Switch ports of both The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.

The Nintendo Switch 2 late launch may have brought some sort of hardware redesign that may impact the console's performance.

The Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake's code features something quite interesting, which may have revealed new details on the yet-to-be-revealed Nintendo Switch 2. As reported on X/Twitter by RibShark, the game has a 4K performance profile that is obviously not used on the current system. While this could be a development leftover to, for example, capture screenshots at 4K resolution, other discoveries seem to suggest this performance profile could be used in another version of the game. Meatball132 not only confirmed its presence but also added how the game's codename of GogoS suggests how there could be another version […]
The Nintendo Switch 2 may be able to deliver only 4K resolution, 30 frames per second gameplay with NVIDIA DLSS, but we are unlikely to see this scenario much, as it would be a "misuse" of the upscaler. The tech experts at Digital Foundry discussed if the next Nintendo console could be able to deliver 4K, 60 FPS gameplay with NVIDIA DLSS in a new video. The consensus seems it won't be able to for a few reasons. Upscaling to 4K resolution is more expensive than upscaling to 1080p and 1440p resolutions, and it would be an extremely large part […]
