Nintendo adds "Handheld Mode Boost" to Switch 2 via firmware update, runs Switch 1 games at docked performance while portable

I just checked Xenoblade 2, Crash Bandicoot Trilogy, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, DOOM 2016, Metroid Dread, Metroid Prime Remastered, Astral Chain, and NEO: TWEWY.

For anything that went from 360-540p to 720-800p woth the boost, the difference is night and day. Most of them looked awful on S2 before, but now they look pretty good.

For anything that went from 600-720p to 900-1080p, the improvement is not as substantial, but it's noticeable and worth it nonetheless.

Now I need to test to what extent this boost affects battery life.
