Q: Does it support the “Handheld Mode Boost” feature on the Nintendo Switch 2?
A: When playing “Tomodachi Life” in handheld mode on the Nintendo Switch 2, you can play at a higher resolution (1080p) than in handheld mode on the Nintendo Switch, regardless of whether “Handheld Mode Boost” is turned on or off. Therefore, this game does not support “Handheld Mode Boost”.
*The trial version supports “Handheld Mode Boost,” but turning it ON will disable touch controls. You can play at a high resolution (1080p) and use touch controls even when it’s OFF, so we recommend playing with it OFF. After applying the upcoming system update, Handheld Mode Boost will no longer be supported in the trial version.
