Earlier today, during Nintendo’s Treehouse live stream, the team unveiled a selection of GameCube games that will soon be available on Nintendo Switch Online through Switch 2. A momentary peek into the settings menu revealed the presence of an optional CRT filter, a feature that’s making its debut on NSO for GameCube, unlike the current lineup of Nintendo 64 games, which lacks this visual option.
This new filter feature sparks curiosity about how it will handle the Switch 2’s enhanced 900p resolution. Will it adjust to the higher resolution, or bring it down to emulate the authentic CRT display of the original hardware? This development also leaves us wondering whether Nintendo 64 titles on NSO might eventually see similar enhancements with their own CRT filter updates.
