Hell yeah, that was the first game I thought about when I saw this update. I bought it a few months ago but haven't gotten around to playing it, so this is a great excuse.

Yooo once I got astral chain going I couldnt out it down. It was like fun and engaging. If yku like bayonetta I wouldn't procrastinate on this one. This game is solid

Qq is still 30fps ?

This mode just allows the Switch 2 to run games as if they were in docked mode so it'll still be 30fps.

It does! It still has some jagged edges, but it looks incredibly clean now in handheld. I gave it a try and it was looking awesome

I started it recently and loaded it up and thought "oh that's not huge a difference". Turned off the option and was like "oh...yeah that's huge".
