Switch N64 emulation is about to get a whole lot better, but only on Switch 2 because it takes the power of next-generation hardware to apply a basic CRT filter

Baby Mario stands on the green in Mario Golf for the Nintendo 64.

Switch 2 is nearly upon us, and as we all know the most exciting part of a new hardware launch isn't the new games – it's the new ways to play old games. Nintendo's official N64 emulator is getting some genuinely excellent upgrades on the new hardware, but at least one of those new features doesn't seem like the sort of thing that actually requires next-gen power.

On Switch 2, the Nintendo 64 Classics library available through the Nintendo Switch Online subscription will allow you to apply a CRT filter. It's a pretty nice-looking filter, but it's one that looks quite similar to the filters already offered for the other emulators on the platform.
