Updated Switch 2 patent showing AI resolution upscaling – My Nintendo News
My Nintendo NewsMy Nintendo NewsIt is now just 2 and a half weeks before Nintendo will be giving the Switch 2 a more detailed unveiling via the upcoming Switch 2 Direct. In the meantime, Switch 2 news has been primarily patents, FCC filings and rumors. The patents and FCC filings have been particularly interesting as this is, perhaps, the closest we’ll get to official confirmation from Nintendo for the time being.This time, it’s not necessarily a new patent. It’s actually an update to a patent already posted. However, the updated patent now adds information regarding AI resolution upscaling. It is worth noting that this isn’t the controversial generative AI, but a method for resolution upscaling that isn’t native. While this technology could be used for Switch 2 games, it is much more likely that this may be used to enhance Switch 1 games being played on the Switch 2.Of course, while this is a patent from Nintendo, there’s still room to keep an open mind. Nintendo hasn’t actually properly spoken about the matter yet, and outside of the patent itself, there’s more speculation from this than any concrete information. Nevertheless, this has been rumored previously, so this only adds more evidence that this is something that Nintendo will likely bring up in their Switch 2 Direct on April 2nd. That all said, you can see a picture of the patent update down below.Source 1 / Source 2In the immortal words of Arte Johnson, “Very interesting.”April 2nd is just around the corner and I’m looking forward to Nintendo Switch 2 and its games during the Nintendo Direct.“I understood that reference.”Makes value sense to me.Upscaling on su. 720p resolution. Ugh nintendo and their outdated hardware lmaoDo you not have a social life or something?Most people here don’t.Sounds like you’re projecting pretty hard there my dude lmaoooThe difference between you and me… is you’re saying the same crap everytime there’s positive news from Nintendo. Grow up and get with the program!Nice. I’ve been holding off on playing through some of my Switch backlog because I was hoping for something like this on the Switch 2MAN, I CAN NOT WAIT!!!!Guess I’ll be playing through Breath of the Wild FOR AN 8TH TIME if Switch 2 upscales OG Switch games.nice nice. i already know this console is gonna be my favorite of all time. i just needed a more powerful switch and im getting exactly thatIf Switch games are upscaled for Switch 2, I have a feeling I’ll be revisiting The Witcher III.It’s only a matter of time now.I see the “AI le bad” fad is finally dead. Nice.I assure you, it isn’t. This is an instance where AI is applied in a good way. You will never see me praising AI voiceover in commercial products.Popular NowExcite Global Media Ltd.
