News: CRT Filter Coming to Gamecube Games on NSO

In an exciting segment of today’s Nintendo Treehouse live stream, the team gave gamers a sneak peek at Gamecube classics making their way to the Nintendo Switch Online lineup on the anticipated Switch 2. During the presentation, a curious detail caught our attention — within the options menu, there’s now an optional CRT filter. This is quite a notable addition, especially because the current NSO offering for the Nintendo 64 doesn’t have this feature.

What’s intriguing is how this CRT filter might perform with the new 900p resolution. Will it adjust to match the higher resolution, or will it dial things back to better mimic the original CRT output? This brings up another question on the horizon: could we possibly see Nintendo 64 titles on NSO receiving a similar update with a CRT filter in the near future? It’s an exciting time for retro gaming enthusiasts who appreciate pixel-perfect nostalgia!
