I’m curious for those of you that managed to get a Switch 2 - how are Switch 1 native games looking on the Switch 2 screen? Is it scaled? Does it look blurrier?
Good question - I’ve been very sad and spent most of the day testing backwards compatibility with older games as that was always a ? due to the move toward a translation layer/software emulation solution.
I’m pleased to report I found four third party games that always rendered in native 1080p in handheld mode, without a patch. We just had no idea because the Switch 1 screen was always 720p.
Ys Memoire Oath in Felghana
Ys Memoire in Celceta
Mad Rat Dead
Mary Skelter 2
Other titles output 720p but I’ve noticed games like Earth Defense Force 4.1, No More Heroes, SNK Heroines, and Tales of Vesperia now lock to 60fps either all the time or more often.
These 720p titles do indeed look blurrier though, but due to the higher base resolution it’s no where near as bad as DS games on 3DS. But titles with a low rendering resolution for their 3D graphics look rather bad, IMO.
Happy launch day all!

Add The Last Remnant to the list of games that always output 1080p in handheld mode on Switch 1:
Now super crisp on Switch 2 handheld.
Edit: the Project Egg series of games (like arcade achives but for Japanese home computer software) all seem to output native 1080p in handheld mode on Switch 2.
