Enhance your experience with original Switch games.
In case you missed, the latest Switch 2 firmware update (Version 22.0.0) adds the "Handheld Mode Boost".
As detailed, this feature will allow compatible Switch software to run "as if in TV Mode" on the Switch 2. Switch 2 can run in handheld in 1080p, while the original unit was 720p in portable. Nintendo has also shared a page about this new feature, how to use it, and some additional details about how it works:
Resident Evil Requiem director Koshi Nakanishi talks about cutting content and making horror approachable.
DLC That NOW!!! please.. Love resident evil requiem and would buy dlc in a heartbeat. Did a video review for it too on our channel and site. Anyone who loves gaming needs to play the game as its truly a masterpiece.
Medic Training Simulation is a combat challenge in Pragmata, which requires you to defeat all enemies, deal damage using enemies, and complete it all within 100 seconds.
A Lunar Challenge in Pragmata requires you to complete an Armor Break mission in a Special Sector of the post-game Unknown Signal mode.
This is a fantastic update!
would love to see them push an update like this for Switch 2 software. I realize that the battery would take a big hit, but for those people who might be using the device in handheld mode while plugged into a wall, it would be cool to get docked performance while in handheld mode.
That being said, this is a great addition for Switch 1 software to ensure it runs at its best, even in handheld mode.
So in the options on the switch 2, it implies that this option only works for the original switch, not the switch 2. It literally says on the notes for the setting “some Nintendo switch software will be unaffected and this option has no effect on software for switch2”. Literally looking at it right now. So unless I’m misunderstanding the notes, I think the headline of this story is misleading?
Also be aware that it mentions the touchscreen may become inactive and that it will cause the joy-con controllers to be treated as a pro controller
so, this update Only works on switch 2 hardware and is Only for switch 1 games.
Coo, l but bummer in practice that it only works on switch 1 games and your touch screen gets deactivated.
