Overview

  • The Rewind feature lets players scroll through a series of frames to undo mistakes in real time, ideal for retrying sections in games like Mario Kart 64 and Mario Golf.
  • An optional CRT filter overlays fake scan lines and pixelated texture to simulate the appearance of 1990s tube televisions.
  • Players can fully remap controller layouts on a per-title basis for all N64 games on both Switch2 and the original Switch.
  • Rewind functionality and the CRT filter are exclusive to Switch2 and will not be available on the original Switch hardware.
  • Preorders for Switch2 have been extremely limited in the United States, leaving many fans struggling to secure the console ahead of its June 5 release.
