One of Switch 2’s biggest flaws, and why Nintendo might never fix it
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
The Nintendo Switch 2 has been available for around four months now. For the most part, things have been going rather well – there’s a good amount of new games, just about every old Nintendo Switch title is compatible, and the console is widely available for purchase without invitations. That said, the system isn’t perfect: there’s obviously the whole situation about its price, though the same can now be said for PlayStation and Xbox as well. However, there’s another particularly troublesome flaw that doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon: most Nintendo Switch games look worse on Switch 2 when played in handheld mode. Of course, if you’re playing in docked mode, things look just about the same. But a huge chunk of people play their console mostly or exclusively in handheld mode – that’s the entire draw of the console, after all – so the fact that many Switch 1 games are blurry is a big problem. And unfortunately, I don’t think Nintendo can or will fix this issue outside of releasing the occasional Switch 2 Edition. Here’s why.
