Some Nintendo Switch 2 Physical Games Are Getting More Expensive

The new Nintendo Switch 2 will not only have its own exclusive games, but it will also work with almost all games made for the original Nintendo Switch. A system update in March 2026 added a feature called Handheld Boost Mode. When enabled, this mode allows older Switch games to display in 1080p resolution while playing in handheld mode – a noticeable improvement over the original Switch’s 720p resolution. While using Handheld Boost Mode does use more battery power, games like Pokemon Legends: Arceus and Metroid Prime Remastered have been shown to perform better with it.
