Overview
- Multiple players say Nintendo chat support granted quick refunds after they reported the paid upgrade made the game look worse.
- The $4.99 patch was sold as enabling up to 4K at up to 60fps on TV and 1080p at up to 60fps in handheld mode.
- Criticism focuses on apparent AI upscaling, artifacting, shimmering, and “crunchy” detail that stand out most on the handheld screen.
- Community side‑by‑side comparisons on Reddit and YouTube argue the upgrade can look worse than the earlier Switch port or even the Wii U version.
- Reviewers note the game remains strong overall and say docked play often looks good, but several outlets advise handheld players to hold off for now.
