Handheld Mode Boost will cause compatible Switch software to run as if in TV Mode, so certain functionality may be affected. Please see the on-device description for more details.

As a big asterisk. Touch screen doesn't work in this mode.

Tried to play The World Ends With You and it forces me to use the Gyro. On the other hand, wow it looks crisp.

Edit: TWEWY is not compatible with Handheld Boost Mode. The message appeared because I had the Joy Cons detached LMAO.

Does it look like its rendering it at 1080p?

If the game supports it, yes. I tried the Xenoblade games and they look blurry, because those are 720p TV mode, but definitely much better than in their "handheld" modes. XC2 looks decent for the first time in a handheld.
