Back before the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Switch 2 dropped, a lot of people were excited about the potential of a more powerful console to play our games on. Now that it's here, Nintendo has mostly fulfilled those desires, 168澳🦹洲幸运5开奖网:with games like Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Breath of the Wild, and a lot more looking and running better.

Unfortunately, it seems as though Nintendo is strangely reluctant to use its own console's best features for dedicated Switch 2 games. One of these features is Nvidia's 🌠DLSS upscaling technology, which multiple third-party studios have made good use of with their ཧrecent ports, but Nintendo has decided against using the feature for both its major first-party titles so far.

Donkey Kong Bananza Doesn't Use One Of The Switch 2's Best Features

Neither 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mario Kart World nor the upcoming 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Donkey Kong Bananza use the Switch 2's DLSS technology, instead deciding to use a "combination of AMD's FSR1 with SMAA". This was first explain🍷ed in (), in which they claim that the image quality of Donkey Kong Bananza is "decent", and the decision to use FSR1 is baffling.

Thankfully, the decision doesn't appear to have impacted Donkey Kong Bananza's performance too much, even though Linneman says there are a few isolated issues here and there. It's still very strange though, and you'd assume that Nintendo would want to make its first-party titles shine as brightly as they can to really sell the system, similar to the way that mos꧒t PlayStation first-party 🍸titles do.

That being said, it's possible that this decision could be down to Donkey Kong Bananza's long development time. It was recently revealed that the game 168澳🌠洲幸运5开奖网:has been in development for ar𝔉ound eight years, and, like Mario Kart World, was originally planned as an origina🔯l Switch title. With that in mind, it's unde༺rstandable that these games🅰 don't utilize all the tech the Switch 2 has to offer, and it's likely we'll see DLSS whenever we get a game that was made with the Switch 2 in mind.
