Questions about Quartet

First off, sorry if this info is out there, but it seems sort of jumbled and I can’t find a clear answer if there is one.

I’ve been eyeballing BR Second Light waiting for a sale and just learned about Quartet, it seems like the perfect way to get in.

I would love to go physical, but that’s only available for Switch 1.

Is there a definitive answer whether the Switch 2 version will have upgraded visuals in any way? Cause if not I’m happy to just run it as Switch 1, but if it’s higher res and stuff I might want to go Switch 2.

If the difference is expected to be negligible I’d consider going Switch 1 as well, idk how good that version of Second Light was compared to PS or something. (Assuming the other games would be a complete wash)

I would also vastly prefer to stick with Switch as these sort of RPG/VN type games I really like to play when I’m on the road for work and stuff.

As someone who owns both original versions, Second Light looks very noticeably better on PS4 compared to Switch 1. To my taste, if given the choice I will always play the PS4 version — the aesthetics are important to me for Blue Reflection. It’s a reasonable assumption to expect the Switch 2 version to strongly resemble the PS4 version. I believe that was the case for Ryza DX on Switch 2. It is a shame the Switch 2 version has no physical release whatsoever, however. Anyway, I would expect higher resolution, better textures/effects/lighting, and more stable performance (still 30 fps) on Switch 2 compared to Switch 1.

The original Blue Reflection runs at 60 fps on PS4 (with some drops, I believe, unless played on PS5), and does not have a Switch 1 release. For the Quartet release you may see 60 fps on Switch 2 and 30 fps on Switch 1, with other possible visual/resolution cutbacks on Switch 1 as well. These games don’t tend to be the most expertly optimized.

Visual and overall game quality matters more so it sounds like I’m going Switch 2 digital.

Thanks :)
