Last week, Nintendo confirmed that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet would get a free update on Switch 2 offering improved frame rates, wider draw distances, and other graphical enhancements. Today, the publisher has finally showed the world what this update looks like in motion, and I've got to admit that it's a lot more impressive than I expected.
Admittedly, my expectations were pretty low. The original announcement only mentioned unspecified frame rate improvements, and part of me suspected that the update would only improve Scarlet and Violet to more closely match their original 30 FPS targets. Given how dismally the games ran on Switch 1, even that would be an improvement, but not exactly one to write home about.
