FULL STORY ======================================================================Pokmon Scarlet and Violet had new footage revealed in the Nintendo Today app The new footage showcases the game running at 60fps on Nintendo Switch 2 The image quality is also noticeably much cleaner

Pokmon Scarlet and Violet is set to get a free Nintendo Switch 2 update at the console's launch, as previously revealed on Nintendo's official website .

Now, though, Nintendo has finally revealed footage of the game running on Switch 2, via the Nintendo Today mobile app for iOS and Android devices. And it looks absolutely glorious.

While it's only 30 seconds of footage, we get a good mix of battling and traversal out in the game's open world. Not only is it running at a buttery smooth 60fps, but image quality has taken a noticeable step-up. The game simply looks much sharper and cleaner on Switch 2.

If you're unable to download the Nintendo Today app, popular Pokmon fan page Serebii has uploaded the footage to X / Twitter . Though do keep in mind that the website's ungodly compression doesn't do it any favors here.

Pokmon Scarlet and Violet , representing the series' ninth generation of pocket monsters and originally releasing for the Nintendo Switch in 2022, was heavily criticized at launch. While all the ingredients for a great Pokmon adventure were certainly there, it ran horribly and was riddled with more
bugs than Viridian Forest.

Of course, it's not the only game in the series to suffer from being released on underpowered hardware, as Pokmon Sword and Shield and Pokmon Legends
Arceus also had their share of performance issues - though certainly not
quite to the same extent.

Thankfully, this Nintendo Switch 2 update does seem to put the game in a much better light. It is a shame that Scarlet and Violet had to be rushed out the door the way it was originally, but this will certainly be a nice bonus for folks who have the new console and were looking for a reason to dive back
into the game's Spain-inspired setting.

Lastly, it is worth stressing that unlike the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition line-up of games, the Pokmon Scarlet and Violet update is completely free and will simply require players to own the original game either physically or digitally. The update will be available on the Switch 2's launch day of June 5. You might also like...
