A bonus perk for Switch 1 owners. Digital Foundry confirms multiple Switch 1 games that ran like butt on the OG hardware are almost like remasters on the Switch 2. Not just improved frame rates, but many of the games also add in higher internal resolutions and/or upgraded settings!

I'll look forward to playing them in about 10 years probably.

  Yep, waiting for the cynically released OLED version halfway through the gen in 3-4 years.

Are we really calling tweaking a config file a “remaster” now?

  I mean, that’s what publishers have been charging money for for way too long.
  
  There’s been like three versions of The Last of Us 1, and I’ve got games older than that on my back list.
