I don't think Nintendo would be okay with just having their assets "drawn over" like all the pictures in this thread. At most they might make use of lighting and shadows being improved with AI, but they would say hell no to what this thread's examples are doing to characters and other assets. 

Nintendo also likes to recycle old assets to a hilarious level, so the longer they stay in the Wii U to Switch 1 level of graphics for their mainline games the faster it is for them to make. They are already about 13-15 years into making Switch 1 level assets. Switch 2 is mostly being used for higher resolution and other small additions. 

If it did happen though, I would just flat out stop buying Nintendo games. 

I do wonder if a future version of DLSS5 (I really wish they had given this a unique name) if you'll be able to feed it data on what you want the final result to look like to iron out that problem. 

Like if the the algorithm could understand that you want Donkey Kong to look like this (which is art from your own artists). 

Particularly with the fur, then maybe it can understand and zero in on doing that up from a model that actually has a rendering cost of this:

Even this DK render is well below the Switch 2 capabilities. It's just a case of the team actually building an asset from the ground up for Switch 2 and utilising the right tech/rendering techniques. If Nintendo is not implementing DLSS2 at the moment to free up resources, I don't think there's much use in speculating their use of DLSS5 lol
