During today’s Nintendo Treehouse live event, the team gave a glimpse of some classic GameCube games heading to Nintendo Switch Online on Switch 2. While taking a look at the options menu, an interesting discovery was made: an optional CRT filter became visible. This is quite noteworthy because, unlike the GameCube, the Nintendo 64 games currently available on Nintendo Switch Online don’t offer such a filter.
One intriguing aspect to keep an eye on will be how the filter adapts to the updated 900p resolution. Will it maintain that clarity, or will it lean towards rendering the visuals closer to their original form as seen on CRT screens? This development also raises speculation about whether Nintendo 64 titles might eventually get their own CRT filter upgrade too. The introduction of such features promises a blend of nostalgia with modern convenience, potentially enhancing the gaming experience for fans of retro titles.
