5 games that benefit from Nintendo Switch 2’s Handheld Mode Boost
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan Gnau in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Well, it’s finally happened – after writing about it in editorials for almost a year, Nintendo has gone ahead and fixed the Switch 2’s biggest flaw, being that all unpatched Switch 1 software looks blurry in handheld mode. Up until now, Nintendo has addressed the situation by issuing Switch 2 Editions of its games that increase performance. That said, though, this isn’t a solution for every single Nintendo Switch game – some third-party developers that made games no longer exist, for instance, which means some titles will never receive Switch 2 patches. So today, we’re looking at five games that currently don’t have Nintendo Switch 2 patches that benefit from the new Handheld Mode Boost feature.

Insider NateTheHate has provided an update on a variety of Nintendo projects, including rumors about Zelda remake, a new Star Fox game, and the lack of a 3D Mario in 2026. This comes from a new podcast published today.
It’s claimed that Star Fox will be making a return on Nintendo Switch 2 this summer. Apparently it’ll be a classic style Star Fox game, and “the visuals are supposed to be very good”. Online multiplayer is apparently in as well. This would make sense given the appearance of Fox McCloud in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
