Breath of the Wild looks like a completely different game on Nintendo Switch 2 thanks to ridiculously improved graphics and 5 times faster loading speed

A screenshot shows a side-by-side comparison of Breath of the Wild on Switch and Switch 2.

2017's Breath of the Wild doesn't need much to look good; it typically runs at an unexceptional 30fps on the Switch, but the pretty open-world game is too full of fantasy to be hindered by anything as pedestrian as CPU processing power. It would be nice if Nintendo could do justice to its own exclusives, however, which is why I'm glad to report that Breath of the Wild looks totally different on the Switch 2.

During today's Treehouse stream (timestamp here), if you weren't too distracted by the onslaught of pissed off gamers chanting "DROP THE PRICE" in chat, you would have noticed Nintendo showing a side-by-side comparison of Breath of the Wild running on both Switch and Switch 2 that looks like the world's most expensive makeover.
