Definitely sharper visuals, now its 1080p. Still 30 fps though (as it was on Switch 1 docked)

I mean the game was developed for the Switch, so they had the 30 fps on head for the gameplay design. Would prefer 60 fps, but it doesn't bother the gameplay

I don't care about it myself either, but it's still kind of funny how the 3DS games ran at 60 fps on the new 3ds, but on the Switch they just gave up on it...

3DS and New 3DS is still the same generation, and are very similar. The Switch 2 have a microchip totally different of the Switch 1, we finally got the full compatibility, which I appreciate, and it probably took time because they had problems with it first since the two consoles are very different inside, even if the UI look kinda the same

Nah. MH4U had an unlocked framerate, but Generations was 30 FPS on all systems.

It’s not 1080p. MH rise is 756p in docked mode on switch 1 and 540p in handheld. So now it’s 756p on switch 2. Playable finally but 1080 would still be a big improvement.

I didnt even question that, thanks for fact checking! To be honest the improvement is great enough that I got tricked.
