According to KeplerL2, the rumored handheld’s graphics processing unit (GPU) performs slightly better than the Xbox Series S in standard rendering. However, when it comes to more demanding visual effects like ray tracing and path tracing, the handheld significantly outperforms Microsoft’s console. KeplerL2 also claims the handheld delivers superior image quality compared to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, thanks to its use of advanced technologies like FSR 5 and PSSR 3, which are reportedly even better than the current DLSS 4.5. This is notable because the Switch 2 is capable of upscaling using DLSS 2.

After 86 reviews, The Super Mario Bros. Movie currently has a 44% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which means it’s considered a “Rotten” film by critics. However, despite the negative reviews, experts predict the movie will earn over $160 million domestically on its opening weekend, showing that audiences aren’t letting the criticism stop them from seeing it. The first Super Mario movie also received mixed reviews but still became a huge financial success, earning $1.3 billion worldwide. Importantly, 95% of general audiences liked the first movie on Rotten Tomatoes, and the new film could see similar approval from viewers.
