An updated Nintendo patent might hint at some good news for the Switch 2, as it outlines AI upscaling technology that could give the company's upcoming hardware a bit more in common with the likes of the PS5 Pro.
Highlighted by @MikeOdysseyYT on Twitter, Nintendo's "systems and methods for machine learned image conversion" patent has been newly updated as of March 13. As with any patent, its language is very complicated, but it describes that a "computer system is provided for converting images through the use of a trained neural network." Diagrams demonstrate an image being expanded and sharpened after the use of a neural network (a machine learning program), and it further describes the process of "image up-conversion," which "can be used to show images of the first resolution on a higher resolution display."
