Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
GVG has put out a video comparison for the new Handheld Mode Boost feature on Nintendo Switch 2 which shows just how much the Switch 1 experience has improved.
The functionality was just released yesterday as part of a new firmware update. When the setting is enabled, your Nintendo Switch 2 system will treat Switch 1 games as if they’re docked while playing portably. That means the resolution will increase for a clearer picture – it’s especially important given that the screen supports 1080p resolution.

Another leaked beta screenshot has surfaced for Pokemon Winds and Pokemon Waves. The image specifically comes from a build made a couple of years ago.

Below is the latest beta screenshot leak for Pokemon Winds and Waves:
