Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2 tech analysis
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos | 36 Comments
Digital Foundry has conducted a preliminary technical analysis on two Wii U games: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Splatoon 2.
With Mario Kart, Nintendo has noticeably bumped up the resolution to 1080p. An issue from the Wii U version was also addressed with frame stuttering.
Splatoon 2’s visual improvements over the original may be less obvious due to running at the same 720p resolution. However, playing Splatoon 2 on the Switch screen can be impressive. Nintendo could also choose to increase the resolution before launch.
View Digital Foundry’s full analysis below.
