Overview

• The SNES Classics app received an update alongside this week’s Mario Paint release that adds an improved CRT filter to restore scanlines, interlacing and finer details.
• Users can activate the filter in the app’s settings to toggle authentic CRT-style visuals on both the original Switch and the Switch 2, with sharper results on the newer console.
• The Mario Paint drop also introduces dedicated mouse support and a Joy-Con 2 mouse-mode, enabling modern control options for SNES titles.
• This follow-up build extends Nintendo’s earlier CRT filter upgrades for the N64 and GameCube libraries, underscoring an ongoing effort to modernize its retro offerings.
• Before-and-after comparisons shared by Polygon and on social media illustrate how the new filter more accurately emulates the look of games on classic CRT displays.
