I won’t be thinking about the Nintendo Switch 2 over Christmas, and it’s thanks to this upscaler

MClassic next to docked Nintendo Switch and games.

Like many of you, I was hoping the Nintendo Switch 2 would be a thing in time for Christmas this year. But alas, I’m going to have to make do with my 2017 launch console for a little longer, and I’ll no doubt be sinking time into my backlog over the holidays. Thankfully, I just started testing an upscaler that helps spruce up the OG console’s graphics in a way I’d never considered, and it’s going to help me not think about a next gen Nintendo console over the Holidays.

Dubbed the Marseille mClassic, the upscaler has been around for a few years, but I didn't realise it'd end up being one of the best Nintendo Switch accessories. The dongle-style HDMI device promises to upscale your console visuals to 1440p and use anti-aliasing algorithms to smooth out jaggy visuals all without introducing lag. Admittedly, I was sceptical over whether the upscaler could actually provide a noticeable difference, so I put it to the test by playing some graphically demanding Ninty romps. If you prefer to plug the best gaming handhelds into docking stations, this one's for you.
