During Nintendo Treehouse’s live event today, the team gave us an exciting glimpse of classic GameCube games that will be joining Nintendo Switch Online with the upcoming Switch 2. One intriguing feature caught our attention when they briefly navigated the options menu: the addition of a CRT filter. This development is particularly notable since, up until now, the Nintendo 64—the only other 3D console featured on NSO—hasn’t included such a feature.
A point of curiosity emerges about how this filter will function with the updated visuals. Will it adjust to the improved 900p resolution, or will it reduce the resolution to replicate the original CRT display more faithfully? This also raises the possibility that Nintendo 64 titles on NSO might eventually receive a similar upgrade, incorporating a CRT filter to enhance the nostalgic gaming experience.
