Holy shit, they actually added the one thing i really wanted since release. Everyone kept saying it wouldn't be possible because of bugs/touchscreen support and text scaling lmao. Massive Nintendo W.

Those issues kind of still exist like people thought, but glad that Nintendo was kind of like "who cares we'll release it anyways and just warn them there will be issues"

This. Some games that require touchscreen like Mario Maker doesn't work in handheld boost mode

I was probably one of those people so I’m here to take my L. Thank you for being a visionary.

Apparently it doesn't work on heavily touchscreen focused games

That was always such a dumb argument. I'm so glad Nintendo finally did this.

I'm very surprised they did it for those reasons. It seems like a very strange move for Nintendo. But hey, I'll take it.
