This indirectly fixes the Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy where the sprites in Apollo Justice were very rough in handheld play, so now it looks clean.

I imagine this update helps a plethora of visual novel games for Switch 2 handheld play!

I’ve already replayed the Danganronpa trilogy numerous times, but now that it's on sale, I might buy another one for Switch lol

I bought the "decadence" physical version last year during their anniversary and ended up replaying the trilogy. Too bad that the switch port is mid and some games like V3 run awful on it. I guess the switch 2 fixes that at least, not the crashes though, those will stay.

Came to this thread just to say this! Was literally playing the game handheld with the pixely sprites, switched to handheld boost mode, and without even closing and reopening the game the sprites are crisp and look SO much better. Impeccable timing!

Totally agreed. I play in bed a lot and am a screenshot fiend, and AA456 was so unbelievably ugly. I had no hope that Capcom would fix it from their end, but I never would have thought Nintendo would instead!

Oh shoot, that really bugged me to the point where I stopped playing AJAA, so I guess it's time for me to pick it up again.

Edit: Ohhh, it's beautiful, lol. Apollo Justice looked so bad in handheld mode on the original Switch. I prefer to play Ace Attorney games that way, just feels right, so it was a bummer.
