For the Nintendo Switch versions of the two first Pikmin games, originally released on Nintendo GameCube, NERD shared video remastering expertise with development teams in Japan to help upscale all of the game’s pre-rendered cutscenes from the original SD resolution to 1080p, using a combination of deep learning and new renders of the original 3D models. NERD emulation technology was also instrumental in creating higher-resolution versions of the games themselves.
