Yeah, that's how it seems to me!

The console is backward compatible. It will run all Switch 1 games without buying any upgrade packs.

Will the game run on 1080p with crapy fps on Switch 2

Very likely, yes. The system basically emulates a Switch 1, and emulators must add limits to virtual chips because otherwise there would be bugs.

For instance, when I first started emulating BotW, there was a 60 FPS patch. It made the game unplayable for me. The menu selections moved too fast. If I pressed Up or Down a little too long, it would jump the selection to the top or bottom. I ended up choosing the wrong thing in so many conversations that I got frustrated and turned it off. Eventually the devs released another patch that makes menus work better at 60fps.

Stuff like that is exactly what this upgrade patch will do. It fixes the game to run as if it were a native Switch 2 game, because it's not!

There are no new textures. Only better resolution with upgrade pack. So you gonna play 4k TOTK with the same textures.

OK, I guess I misunderstood. I still think it'll look fine. The textures are cartoony anyways, and in 4k, the objects will be so sharp. Text will probably be updated if it doesn't already use a vector font, but I'm just guessing on that.

The upgrade pack will act like DLC that modifies the game to load off of internal storage on the console. That'll be faster than loading it off of a switch cartridge. The textures will be enhanced as well, and downloaded from Nintendo servers onto your console.

So how you are suppose to play it in Switch 2 without an upgrade pack?

You just put it in and it runs. Exactly like putting a Game Cube game in a Wii. Or a PS1 game in a PS2. How is this not obvious?

What you gain?

Nothing, except now you can sell your Switch 1 and still play your original Switch games, and not have to have two consoles.

Ohhhhh, this is required? You can't just pop it in and play it as-is?

They released a game for a console you already owned, and then released it again on the new console, and people got mad? I dunno.

I loved my Wii U, and loved playing BotW on it. I guess it wasn't designed to use the control pad in any special way, which was a bit of a drag, but it played great.

You pay $10 to utilize the console you bought over a game you have.

I've read this sentence like 10 times, and I just don't get it. What are you saying here?

I've heard those "share IDs" (as I call them) are indeed tied to your account. My worry is that some day there will be a data breach and a mass doxxing of people who shared YouTube links, so I always remove them.

Léon - The URL Cleaner

Because they have AI voices and exciting forced captions that sparkle and bounce in the exact center of the video! Who wouldn't want that?

Now I kind of want to make a parody of what would be a traditional educational video on YouTube in the style of shorts. Like annoyingly rushed, AI voice, and huge forced captions blocking everything. Making fun of kids today who have no attention span for ordinary videos. A difficult topic like programming or CAD software.

I just installed and tested out the app. I have been using Léon - The URL Cleaner for a while.

I "shared" your clearurls link to URLChecker as a quick test, and then hit the "Unshorten" button, even though I knew it wasn't a short URL. This is what it resolved it to:

 url=../../../1.26.1/specs/rules

Haha... Thanks?

In the end, it takes more taps to do what I want than Leon does. If I share a YouTube link, I have to press "Unshort" then "Apply" to remove useless parameters. Meanwhile, with Leon, it's already done. As soon as you share to it, it presents the plain YouTube URL with a simpler UI where the buttons have words on them instead of just icons.

Compare:

URLChecker

Leon

To be fair, it appears to have fewer features. Leon can't simply remove all parameters or check the URL status. URLChecker also had it's own quick list of share targets in that central drop-down in addition to a traditional Share button.

I think I'll keep both installed in case URLChecker does a better job with non-YouTube URLs.

Even worse is when they edit their post to add "Never mind, figured it out."
