      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

        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.

      Works perfectly fine on my machine I bought over two decades after the game came out, looks significantly better than when the game came out too. Not sure how much more upgradability you could possibly want.
