Yeah, according to DF, most upgraded switch 1 games have forced HDR, but Nintendo didn't or couldn't change the tone mapping to match The higher range of colors, so the colors look  washed out. Apparently, super Mario Bros U and splatoon 3 don't do this; they only display properly in SDR mode when you have the "only compatible software" option on.

I've never messed with any HDR settings on my games. Never thought to do it.

Weird, I didn't see any problem with Mario Odyssey.

Cyberpunk 2077 allows you to make a very simple change to HDR. There are actually 4 settings to change but only 1 is needed. Its the slider where you choose between a darker more colourful look or brighter washed out one.

And you can immediately see the result and go back and change it. Other games rely on the system level setting and different games behave differently with it. I gave up after a while.

Octopath Traveler 0
Metroid Prime 4
Assassin's Creed Shadows

All release this week on Switch 2.

That's crazy. I'm getting MP4 immediately, Assassin's Creed for Christmas.

Octopath can wait for a price drop, because RE7, RE8 and RE9 are out end of January.

To be fair, I doubt most people would notice it or care. I noticed it because I'm a nut, lol.

I won't be getting any of those immediately.

I'm playing The Plucky Squire and being happy that it's finally a game I can bother to keep playing.  Maybe its jolly colourful disposition has something to do with it.

Also, the kids will probably get Pokémon Legends Z-A and the new Hyrule warriors for Saint Nikolas at the end of the week and while I have no interest in playing those games, that's enough new full-priced physical games for one week.

Buy the games you want and force them to play them.

You're doing it wrong.

Metroid Prime 4 and Octopath Traveler 0 are the two games I’ll be picking up next week. Can’t wait.

After messing around with Wind Waker NSO, I decided to boot up Wind Waker HD on my Wii U to refresh my memory of it. Yeah, it's not even close. I hope Nintendo releases WW HD and Twilight Princess HD on Switch 2 soon. They'll probably wait until Switch 3. *sigh* At least my Wii U still works. I hadn't booted it up in a long time.
