CRT Filter Coming to Gamecube Games on NSO – Update

Today, in an exciting Nintendo Treehouse live presentation, the team gave fans a sneak peek at the array of GameCube games that will soon grace the Nintendo Switch Online service, alongside the anticipated Switch 2. While navigating through the options menu, a sharp-eyed observer might have noticed something intriguing—a CRT filter option. This addition is particularly noteworthy because, at present, the only other 3D system on Nintendo Switch Online, the Nintendo 64, doesn’t have a CRT filter feature.

As fans eagerly await these updates, a curious question hangs in the air: will this filter adjust to the enhanced 900p resolution, or will it dial back to mimic the authentic look of the original CRT display? This development has also led to speculation about whether Nintendo 64 titles might eventually see similar updates with a CRT filter in the future. Such enhancements could offer a nostalgic touch, enhancing the gaming experience for long-time fans and new players alike.
