CRT Filter Coming to GameCube Games on NSO – Latest Update

At the recent Nintendo Treehouse Live event, fans got a glimpse of something exciting. Nintendo’s team showcased the classic GameCube games heading to the Nintendo Switch Online service, specifically for the upcoming Switch 2. While navigating through the options menu, a keen-eyed observer might have noticed an interesting feature: an optional CRT filter. This stands out because, as of now, the only other 3D gaming system available on Nintendo Switch Online, the Nintendo 64, doesn’t include this filter option.

What makes this development even more intriguing is how the CRT filter will interact with the updated 900p resolution. Will the filter adapt to this higher resolution, or will it somehow mimic the original look by reducing the resolution to match the classic CRT display? This addition raises another question: could we see a similar update for Nintendo 64 games? Perhaps they’ll receive CRT filter support on Nintendo Switch Online somewhere down the line. The gaming community will be watching closely to see how these updates unfold.
