Nintendo Switch 2 update adds one possible fix for blurry OG Switch games

The Nintendo Switch 2’s backward compatibility with Switch games is generally pretty good, and a few games have gotten patches from their developers to allow them to take advantage of the higher resolutions the console supports, among other features.
