At today’s Nintendo Treehouse live event, excitement buzzed through the air as Nintendo unveiled the GameCube titles soon to be available on Nintendo Switch Online, specifically for the anticipated Switch 2. The session took an intriguing turn when, among the menu options, a CRT filter appeared – a feature that sets these GameCube releases apart. Until now, the only 3D console included in NSO, the Nintendo 64, hasn’t offered this nostalgic enhancement.
This development piques curiosity about a couple of things. First, will the filter adjust to the newer 900p resolution, or will it downgrade to a resolution that mimics the authentic look of a CRT display? Additionally, it raises the question: could this mean Nintendo 64 games on NSO might also receive a CRT filter update down the line? These are exciting times for retro gaming enthusiasts, who are eager to see how these classic visuals will be presented on the upgraded platform.
