Man, okay, so let’s dive into this whole Nintendo Switch 2 thing — it’s got folks buzzing mostly because of its Nvidia DLSS support, which, let’s be honest, is like the big, scary gorilla in the room when it comes to upscaling tech. It’s kinda saving grace for a console that doesn’t pack a huge punch in the graphics department. Weirdly enough, though, not everyone’s jumping on this DLSS bandwagon — yep, I’m looking at you, Donkey Kong Bananza.
So this little gem, Donkey Kong Bananza, skipped out on the DLSS party. Digital Foundry — those tech wizards — dug deep into this mystery. They peeled back the layers, and honestly, it’s pretty entertaining if you’re into that kind of detective work.
And, oh, don’t even get me started on the dizzying performance drops some developers were already shouting about. Picture this: Bananza, cooked up over a few years, totally missing that DLSS magic. But here’s the kicker: it struts its stuff with AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution, plus SMAA — the latter being a fancy way of saying it smooths out those jagged edges. Go figure.
Then there’s Mario Kart World — you’d think with Nintendo’s golden child, they’d go all out, right? Nope, DLSS is nowhere to be found. Not to mention, they kinda dropped the ball on HDR. Yikes. I mean, isn’t it 2023 already?
And hey, everybody’s got eyes peeled for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Will they hop on the DLSS train? It’s a big maybe, so everyone’s just holding their breath.
Anyway — wait, where was I? Oh yeah, for all things chaotic and techy, keep your ear to the ground or, well, just hit up Tom’s Hardware. They’ve got the scoop right in your inbox if that’s your thing. Click that follow thingy if you haven’t already. But hey, who am I to tell you what to do?
