The update of the 10.0.0 version of "Spra 3" has caused unexpected controversy: while Switch 2 players have obtained smoother frame count and clearer picture quality, the first NSS version has been artificially downgraded.

As the hardware gap emerges, Nintendo makes a difficult choice - actively removes some boundary background details of the first Switch version in core modes such as "regional battle" and "fish and tiger battle".Although these decorative elements do not affect the gameplay, they can reduce the computing burden of old models.The official mentioned in the update instructions that this move is to "reduce the difference in game running speed between different devices."

For competitive players, when Switch2 players enjoy a stable 60 frames, the occasional lag of the first generation Switch may become the key to victory or defeat.The community responded to this from two extremes: "Supporting players" said competitive games should give priority to ensuring performance fairness, while "opposition players" believed that players in old equipment were punished for no reason.

It is worth noting that this may be the first time that Nintendo has adjusted the picture quality of previous generation consoles for cross-generational balance.Although works such as "The Legend of Zelda" and "The Sword of the Alien" did not weaken the original version when Switch2 was enhanced, as a competitive online game, "Spra 3" obviously needs special treatment.

It is not certain whether this will become the norm, but it is foreseeable that more competitive games will face similar choices.For core players, the disappearance of several background details may be trivial.But this may be a necessary compromise for pursuing an absolutely fair game environment.
