A side-by-side graphics comparison by ElAnalistaDeBits shows Super Mario Bros. Wonder running on the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition with native 4K in docked mode and a boosted handheld resolution, while maintaining a steady 60fps in both modes; the upgrade is priced at $19.99 / £16.99 (or $79.99 / £66.99 for the full package), with a link to Nintendo Life’s review.
Nintendo’s Switch 2 Edition of Super Mario Bros. Wonder brings native 4K (and 1080p handheld) with sharper visuals and revised art, but it does not add a 120fps option and remains locked at 60fps. It also adds new multiplayer-focused content (Bellabel Park and more), giving the package a fresh, Nintendo Land‑like vibe, though single‑player content isn’t significantly expanded. For owners of the original, the upgrade is most valuable for multiplayer experiences and as the definitive version on one cart; those who don’t care about multiplayer may prefer to wait.

The team notes strong CPU/GPU demand but impressive scale, and suggests 60FPS or 40FPS balanced for best feel; final console versions remain to be seen, with launch set for March 19, 2026.

Patch 1.2 for Skyrim Anniversary Edition on Switch 2 adds a 60fps performance mode and a 30fps visuals mode, fixes jittery water reflections and blue trees, and delivers a substantial boost in input latency—though the game still downloads a massive 53GB and the 60fps mode sacrifices resolution (dynamic 576p–1080p in docked play) with some occasional frame-time spikes; docked play mostly hits 60fps in many areas, while portable mode remains at 1080p visuals with DLAA but with lower foliage detail and still-present trade-offs. Overall, a major improvement that brings the port closer to other current-gen versions.
