Oh, which hardware was this upgraded for?

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

Steam Deck, for one.

Weird, considering it came out several years after Steam Deck and it works just fine on my desktop PC...

And the games in the article would have worked just fine on the Switch 2 as well.

I mean that makes sense, considering they're Nintendo games and it's a Nintendo console.

If you try reading those patch notes they'll tell you exactly what kinds of modern hardware some of these changes are targeted at:

Steam Deck optimizations
Improved controller support
Default gamma reduced since you're probably not playing on a CRT anymore, and resolution no longer defaults to 640x480
Ultrawide FOV support for ultrawide monitors
Lowest quality settings removed since no one is running hardware that weak anymore
Software renderer fixed on hardware that doesn't support 16-bit color
