Nintendo Switch 2 arrives on Thursday with a novelty that matters to Pokémon players. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, titles released in 2022, won a patch that activates 4K resolution and stable performance at 60 fps. The update solves graphic and fluidity problems that have negatively marked the games since the premiere.

Even with a good reception between players, the titles faced persistent criticism of locking and visual failures. Now, with the new console, the expectation is for a technical experience closer to current standards.
New generation of console focuses on correction of old errors
Switch 2 hits the market with the mission of overcoming the limitations of the previous model. One of the promises is to eliminate bottlenecks that hurt games of large audiences, as was the case with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. In the first tests, the renewed performance shows a visible evolution in the loading of environments, combat and overall movement.
Nintendo has launched several patches in the last two years to try to adjust the most serious problems. However, none of them managed to deliver the desired stability. With the change of hardware, Nintendo seeks to regain the confidence of players who expected more from the technical performance of the series.
Visual improvements transform the experience in Paldea
With the new update, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have clearer graphics and more fluid gameplay. The open areas, which previously caused slowness, are now rendered with greater definition and gentle movements. The use of the new Nintendo Switch 2 graphic chip ensures quick transitions and stability even in more intense battles.
The difference is noticeable in the first few minutes. Animations that once suffered from sudden cuts began to run without interruption. The elements of the scenario gain depth and more realistic lights, valuing the game's open world proposal.
Other popular titles will also be optimized
Nintendo said other catalog games will also receive optimized versions. These include titles such as Echoes of Wisdom and Link's Awakening, which will have automatic update to Nintendo Switch 2 . The goal is to expand the life of the console library, offering improvements at no additional cost to users.
However, not all updates will follow this model. Games like Metroid Prime 4 and Breath of the Wild will have unique versions for the new hardware, with enhanced content and performance. These editions will require additional payment, which can divide the community of players.
The strategy reveals a gradual transition between generations. While some securities will benefit free of charge, others will be linked to the purchase of new versions or specific packages.
