The repeated frame glitch from MK8 is gone! Also a full 1080/60 when docked.

Splatoon 2 is 720/60 in both modes tho.

Spla2oon is still a while from launch though, so that will likely change. John notes that it is unlikely to be a performance issue considering it runs at 720/60 in portable mode.

 

[Kyzer]

1080/60 docked sounds nice!

 

[TheAngryMonkey]

Came here to ask about that little glitch in MK8, glad to hear it is gone

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Man, they gotta' fix that Splatoon 2 resolution when docked.

 

[Lexxism]

There was a glitch on Mario kart? What was that?

Portable Splitscreen MK8 will be awesome.

Praise!

Watch the video it explains it

Still in development

That's why I'm somewhat hopeful it'll eventually hit 900p or above.

 

[daxgame]

damn I've never noticed any glitch lol

 

[Kikorin]

Probably they still haven't optimized the docked version in Splatoon, but I'm sure they'll di more than 720p when docked.

MK8 looks already good.

 

[vgamer1]

Already bought all the DLC for MK8, but 1080p 60 docked + 720p60(same as wii U) in my pocket might get me to double dip.

 

[James Scott]

Some speculation DF made during their Zelda video was that Nintendo is likely focusing first on getting the games to run on the portable mode and then working on the docked mode.
Would explain Splatoon, Mario, and Xenoblade since they're farther off.

 

[Lom1lo]

Splatoon has simply no docked mode at this time. I expect the final build to be 900p or 1080p.

 

[Lexxism]

Watch the video it explains it

I would had done that if I can access it

 

[Metal B]

Man, they gotta' fix that Splatoon 2 resolution when docked.

I guess, the workflow for Nintendo is to get the game working at 720p and than later make changes to get 1080p running. Having a good performance in Handheld-Mode should always be the priority.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Oh okay. Basically every 64 frames a duplicate frame is thrown up, in any mode with CPU participants. So for example instead of getting 60 unique frames a second, every two second period you are shown 119 unique frames so it always felt like there was a bit of stutter.

 

[Dinjooh]

Any word on res/fps with 3-4 players?

 

[Yushi]

Splatoon still around 6 months away. Im sure they can still improve it.

 

[guek]

Man, they gotta' fix that Splatoon 2 resolution when docked.

I hope so. 1080p, even with a lot of recycled assets from Splatoon 1, would be wonderful.

Heck, that actually makes a lot of sense.

 

[Franz Brötchen]

Exactly. Didn't DF already note that 1) Direct feed for docked mode was only permitted for MK8 and 2) No difference whatsoever between docked/portable mode for Splatoon2?

 

[NEO0MJ]

Still in development

What's worrying though is that it's pretty close to launch date. Hopefully they can fix it but I'm worried.

 

[DashReindeer]

While it makes sense, I do think it's going to disappoint a lot of people who use this primarily as a home console. If Nintendo is pushing that side of things as much as they are, I think it's reasonable to expect that their games are optimized to look and run as well as possible in docked mode.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Any word on res/fps with 3-4 players?

The Wii U went 720/30 with 3-4 players and I'm pretty sure someone elsewhere confirmed 30fps on the Switch's 4 player mode, so presumably it'll be 1080/30.

 

[Deleted member 465307]

Pretty sure it's 1080/30 for 3-4 players.

 

[10k]

Yeah I had a feeling splatoon was low. It looked jaggy or blurry in the trailer while Mario Kart looked clean. Guess it is 720p when docked for splatoon 2

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Man, they gotta' fix that Splatoon 2 resolution when docked.

I'd assume that would be something that happens towards the end of development.

Make sure the handheld mode is working properly, and then do improvements for docked mode at the very end.

 

[LordOcidax]

720p 60fps MK game in my pocket.... hummmm

 

[guit3457]

Can't believe I will play Mario Kart 8 on a handheld system at 720p/60fps.

It's just amazing. Can't wait!!

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Splatoon is still 5-6 months ahead from release. They got plenty of time.

 

[Dinjooh]

I had a very small hope for 1080/60 with 4 players, but fair enough - this'll do.

 

[Memory]

Splatoon 2 is coming summer so plenty of time to get it up to 1080, i'll be there day one eitherway. Not 100% i want to double dip on MK8 yet.

 

[Zalman]

I can't wait to play these games on a handheld. Gonna be awesome.

 

[reKon]

Can't believe I will play Mario Kart 8 on a handheld system at 720p/60fps.

It's just amazing. Can't wait!!

Yeah that's pretty nice, but playing Smash on it will be even better!

That's the main reason I didn't get a 3DS. The screen would be way too small for me to fully enjoy.

 

[LordKano]

Yeah they probably just finished the handled mode for Splatoon 2. Hopefully they're able to pull a 1080p60fps for this one.

 

[Seik]

I hope Splatoon will hit higher resolutions later in development.

The game looks almost exactly the same as the first one, I assume there's a few bell and whistles more, but still.

 

[Deleted member 465307]

Don't give up hope yet. We're at least 6 months from launch. I can't think of any reason why the resolution wouldn't at least increase a tiny bit while docked. Well, I mean, I guess they could be doing it for multiplayer parity or something, but I really doubt that.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Probably the reason why they kept telling people both Mario and Splatoon 2 are demo's and NOT final.

 

[Vampirolol]

Finally ninjablade will be able to play MK8!

Spoiler

he was right tho, that frame skip made me so nervous

 

[Lexxism]

Oh okay. Basically every 64 frames a duplicate frame is thrown up, in any mode with CPU participants. So for example instead of getting 60 unique frames a second, every two second period you are shown 119 unique frames so it always felt like there was a bit of stutter.

Wow. I didn't know such thing exist. Good thing my eyes are not as hardcore as other people.

 

[Laevateinn]

Thank god I don't have the kind of OCD that would allow me to notice a repeated frame every 64 frames.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Hopefully it's not "at least 6 months"

I'm hoping it'll be closer to 5. June would be nice.

 

[Malice215]

That video analysis has me excited for MK8D on the go. Can't wait.

 

[AGoodODST]

That's great for Mario Kart. Hopefully they can reach 1080p for Splatoon 2.

 

[CecilRousso]

Mario Kart 8 sounds nice. Like a GOTY edition but with actual improvements and new content.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Kinda interesting about Splatoon but I do think we may get a resolution bump for it docked.

 

[Instro]

720p60fps for both versions of Splatoon is weird. No way it will stay that way.

 

[NSESN]

Good to know that splatoon undocked is 720p, so it looks like that thay didn't optimize the docked performance yet.
