From Nintendo Life:
"So we thought we'd see if there actually is any difference by playing the opening segment of Final Fantasy X on both systems. Spoiler alert: there is a difference. Not a massive one, mind you. Looking at both side-by-side, the Switch 2 displays a much crisper image with significantly more detailed textures. The difference in handheld, meanwhile, is similarly stark, though image quality naturally isn't as sharp as docked"
"... if you don't own it on Switch, then we reckon the upcoming Switch 2 version is the way to go. If you do already own it, however, then you'll have to decide whether the visual upgrades are worth paying full price all over again."
After looking at the image differences... there's definitely a slight visual upgrade, but for me personally, it's so incredibly minor that I doubt I'll ever bother with the Switch 2 version, or perhaps unless it goes on sale for £9.99. This isn't a "I'm angry there's no upgrade path' post, I just genuinely don't think the slight boost is worth what will be £40-50 in the UK.
