Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Achieve 60FPS on Nintendo Switch 2

Alright, folks, gather ’round, ’cause I’ve got something wild for you today. So, there’s this Nintendo thing—somehow made me feel like a kid again. Nintendo Today! app (who even knew that was a thing?) gave us a sneak peek at Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, now jazzing it up on the Nintendo Switch 2. Honest to goodness, it felt like discovering soda pop after sipping water all my life.

And yeah, there was this whole spiel about a free update. Apparently, it’s all about boosting frame rates or something—we’re talking 60 frames per second now. Like, what even is that? The tech geeks are probably flipping out, but for the rest of us? It just means our little Pikachu friends move smoother than butter on a skillet.

Anyway—or wait, hold up—maybe this is important? Backtracking a bit, these games are, like, the top dogs now. Sell over 26.79 million copies kinda top dogs. People loved ’em and hated ’em all at once. Open world? Yay! Graphic glitches? Boo. So, I guess that’s why everyone’s buzzing about this new-and-improved version.

Oh, and mark your calendars or whatever for June 5, 2025. That’s when Nintendo Switch 2 hits the shelves. Pricey little gadget too—£395.99 if you’re in the UK (yikes), €469.99 across Europe, and $449.99 in the US. No clue what that converts to in coffee or tacos, but still. It’s like getting ready for some landmark event. Or maybe not. I dunno, but it’s kinda exciting and overwhelming at the same time.

Honestly, seeing those little creatures scamper seamlessly across the screen? It’s a game-changer. Or maybe it’s just nostalgia blurring my senses. Either way, I’m down for it. Anyone else ready for some Pokémon magic?
