The countdown is on! In just two and a half weeks, Nintendo is set to pull back the curtain on the highly anticipated Switch 2 during their exciting Switch 2 Direct presentation. As anticipation builds, details surrounding the console have mostly revolved around intriguing patents, FCC filings, and a flurry of rumors. These documents provide a tantalizing glimpse into what might be in store, hinting at a clearer picture from Nintendo than we’ve seen in a while.
This latest update is not entirely new but rather an enhancement to a previously submitted patent. It introduces information regarding AI resolution upscaling—a method distinct from the controversial generative AI we often hear about. While this technology could offer enhancements for Switch 2 games, it’s more likely that it’ll serve to uplift the experience of playing Switch 1 titles on the new hardware.
Though this patent sparks excitement, we should remain cautiously optimistic. Nintendo hasn't officially addressed these aspects publicly yet, and much of the information continues to be speculative. However, prior rumors suggest that this upscaling technology could very well be a feature discussed in the upcoming Direct on April 2nd. Check out the patent update image below!
