Nintendo has filed a patent for technology that upscales low-res images via machine learning

Nintendo has filed some interesting patents lately and one recent parent has some major implications for Nintendo hardware.

Nintendo has filed a patent for technology that aims to convert lower-res images to higher-res images through machine learning. This is similar to DLSS from NVIDIA and FidelityFX  from AMD, and while it would not totally convert blurry images into pixel-perfect ones, it will help with upscaling lesser-quality images to something that looks much nicer.

It is unclear what Nintendo has planned for this upscaling tech but it will be very useful for developers to have access to. It is possible Nintendo just filed this patent to protect the idea, but this does offer a lot of possibilities for future games and hardware.
