Probably good to be brought down to earth now. It's still a significant jump, but not enough that it could render games at PS4 quality and still upscale to 4k or PS4 Pro levels of visual fidelity.

Just with the comparison of cross-gen games running on PS4 and Switch 2, you can already see the improvements newer hardware architecture can create, similar to the improvements from WiiU to Switch.

The only games that will be able to take advantage of all next-gen features and have great image quality, will be Nintendo games, which is what we expected anyway.

Perhaps not only Nintendo.

On Switch 1 there were cases of third party games getting excellent results out of the hardware; FAST RMX from Shin'en, the Crysis remasters from Saber, Outlast II from Red Barrels, Alien Isolation from Feral, Sniper Elite 4 and Zombie Army 4 from Rebellion, etc.

I'm sure they will be some instances of third parties managing to deliver great graphics and image quality out of Switch 2.

Fair enough. I was generalising but you're correct, there will be some exceptional third party efforts.

One of the games I'm actually hoping for most is Mass Effect Legendary Collection. They still never released any of those games on Switch and only the third game on WiiU. I'm curious to see just how far they could push that considering it runs at a near locked 4k/60fps and 1440p/120fps on Series X. Switch 2 could be able to reach 4k/30fps(or even 40fps) and 1080-1440p/60fps. PS5 for whatever reason is not very good.
