Switch 2 Adds Exclusive Features to N64 Games for Enhanced Nostalgia

So, picture this: the Nintendo Switch 2 is about to drop. Like, next week! And Nintendo’s doing that thing—ya know, teasing us with tidbits. Not that I’m complaining, but come on! Yesterday, through the Nintendo Today app, they hit us with some juicy updates. Something about making N64 games, hmm, more forgiving? And a dash of nostalgia too. Weird combo, right?

Anyway, rewind feature. Yeah, finally! Missed that jump in a platformer? (Oh man, the memories… or trauma? Poor Mario.) Or hey, flung yourself off Rainbow Road again in Mario Kart? Story of my life, honestly. Just hit rewind. Magic, I tell you.

Oh, and get this—CRT filters are back. Want your games to look like you’re squinting at an old TV screen in your parents’ basement, circa 1998? Done. Zelda looking extra old-school with those scan-lines. Why do we love that? Nostalgia’s strange, isn’t it?

But the kicker? Control remapping’s coming for not just the new Switch 2, but the OG Switch too. Customize those buttons, people! Joy-Cons, N64 controller—doesn’t matter. Flexibility at its finest. Also, I might be too excited about this? Anyway, there it is. Nintendo, always keeping us on our toes.
