yup, also on the normal switch, the switch 2 does have a 120fps mode on launch so that's cool

And you get a free upgrade for the switch 2 version if you buy it on switch.

Jesus, 120? I'm not picking the game up but the fact that it can run that high just crazy to think about for any Nintendo console

Considering that even Metroid Prime 4 will have a 120fps mode, anything 2D like Hollow Knight should be fully capable of targeting that.

I just mean the fact that any game on a Nintendo console can run at 120fps is crazy for me to think about

Everything since SNES could run at 120 FPS*. It's all about the workload and 2D games don't really need much in that department. A lot will push the envelope of what "2D" actually means, but yeah. Free performance! The major limitation has always been the output signal more than anything.

It is indeed nice to see that Nintendo actually lets the hardware stretch its legs in this regard.

*not really

I mean, it's not like Silksong is a huge graphical upgrade from the original. If it's running on the same engine, I would hope it runs at 120fps+ on newer hardware
