'Shrek 2 Remastered'
The ogre is back. Shrek 2 Remastered launched on Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Nintendo Switch on Tuesday, Nov. 10, and developer Aspyr has now revealed how the game performs on each console.
Details provided to Nintendo Everything show a major technical difference between the two versions.
Players on Nintendo Switch 2 get the best experience. The game runs at 60 frames per second, with a resolution of 4K when docked and 1080p in handheld mode, the highest resolution possible on the console.
On the original Nintendo Switch, Shrek 2 Remastered runs at 30 frames per second. The resolution is also the maximum the system can handle: 1080p when docked and 720p in handheld mode.
Shrek 2 Remastered is an updated version of the action-adventure game based on DreamWorks Animation’s 2004 hit movie. The game takes players on a journey through the fairytale kingdom of Far Far Away, from Shrek’s swamp to Fiona’s castle.
According to Aspyr, everything in the game has been rebuilt with improved textures, an enhanced user interface and upgraded cutscenes.
The remaster also adds new features, including Photo Mode for in-game snapshots and Cheat Mode, which lets players unlock cheats.
Players can tackle the adventure solo or with up to three friends. The game supports four-player couch co-op, online multiplayer and a mixed mode that combines online play with couch co-op. Players planning a couch co-op session may want to check out the best Nintendo Switch 2 controllers available.
Players can swap between heroes from the franchise at any time, using each character’s unique abilities to battle enemies, defeat bosses and solve environmental puzzles. Levels also include hidden Easter eggs and iconic moments from the movie.
Aspyr describes the game as a trip “back to a nostalgic era of gaming for some pick-up-and-play casual fun.”
The original Shrek 2 game was released in 2004 alongside the film on the GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Xbox, and it became a nostalgic favorite for many players who grew up with the franchise.
The remaster arrives during a busy week for Switch 2. Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake sold more than 5.2 million copies in its first four days, the highest global sales for any Nintendo-published Switch 2 game, according to Nintendo Everything.
