This isn't really intended as an interesting Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity video, it's more something I put up for personal comparison purposes. The novelty is you get to see Nintendo Switch footage upscaled to 4K. You can compare it to my previous videos of this game to determine how much better it looks or not (playlist link is below). Upscaling itself significantly reduces quality but a 1440p+ source allows superior processing on YouTube and you can use a higher bitrate so even if you're watching at 1080p it should look better than a native 1080p upload in theory. This example doesn't convince me and neither did the follow-up private video I tested with a higher bitrate so I guess I'll continue with Switch at its native resolution. I'll leave said 2nd test unlisted but link to it below for anyone curious.

Gameplay is rusty as I hadn't touched the game since shortly after DLC wave 2's release.

2nd test at over 90,000kbps bitrate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6OL9xdNRh8
(Viewing this at 1080p looks plainly worse than uploads natively uploaded at 1080p from what I examined.)
