A modded Nintendo Switch OLED can run some games at higher resolution, even 4K resolution, and better performance, as showcased by a video shared online a few days ago.
As reported on the Famiiboards forums, YouTube user Naga de-soldered the console's RAM modules to solder two 4GB modules running at a higher frequency, doubling the console's RAM. Suprisingly, some games took advantage of the additional RAM, while most others are hard capped to 4GB of RAM. Coupled with some overclocking, select games like Mortal Kombat 1, Kingdom Come Deliverance, and Alien Isolation run much better than on base hardware, while Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can be made to run at 4K resolution, although with far from playable performance.

With the Nintendo Switch reaching the end of its life, it is not surprising to see such experiments being made with the current hardware. The next console from Nintendo, which has yet to be officially unveiled, is said to be considerably more powerful than its predecessor, although the specifications of its T239 chip suggest that its performance shouldn't be expected to be on par with even the weakest of the current generation consoles, the Xbox Series S. Still, the console may become the best ray tracing capable system of the generation, as the Nintendo Switch 2 is said to support NVIDIA DLSS Ray Reconstruction, which brings considerable visual improvements in ray-traced games.

Based on rumors so far, the Nintendo Switch 2 seems to be mostly focused on keeping what people love about the Switch and improving on it, but a new report indicates that one iconic element of the system could be going away with its successor. The long wait for news on the console has been full of ups and downs, dating back to the time when a Switch Pro was expected before a new system entirely. More recently, a presumed 2024 date seemed to slip out the window in favor of a 2025 release, making the wait even longer.
By all accounts, the Nintendo Switch 2 is still almost a year away, but potential new details on the console have been filtering through on a consistent basis, courtesy of a what’s been an unbroken stream of leaks. Another leak has now emerged, with Mobopad, a manufacturer of Switch accessories, posting alleged new details that it has learned about Nintendo’s next-gen console on Bilibili.
Nintendo has still yet to unveil the successor to the Switch, but the Japanese company’s next-gen console continues to be the subject of rumours and leaks. A new report published by Spanish outlet Vandal has now also allegedly revealed new details on the upcoming console.
There's still a chance for the Nintendo Switch 2 to launch this year. Exactly two months ago, the Japanese publication Nikkei wrote that March 2025 was the most likely release window for the new console as it allowed Nintendo to produce enough consoles to sell to consumers.
A pair of Nintendo 64 racing games are now available for members. Players can put rubber to the road in the futuristic racing game Extreme-G or roll out with Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls.
A free trial for NBA 2K24 is available for Nintendo Switch Online members from April 17 — April 23. Nintendo Switch Online does place an emphasis on its retro gaming collection, but there are additional perks that the service includes, such as game trials. NBA 2K24 features significant gameplay improvements to the overall series, leading some to say the gameplay is the best it has ever been. Despite a rough launch and mixed reviews, time has passed and updates have been made, so there is a chance gamers will feel NBA 2K24 has improved, and a trial is the perfect chance to let players decide.
Being able to play and on the Nintendo Switch has been the dream of many console owners since its launch, but the smart thing to do at this point is to accept that it's not going to happen. Both of these classic titles made triumphant returns on the Wii U, but they've been stuck there ever since. Considering how many Wii U titles have received Switch ports, it's been odd that two remastered entries in one of Nintendo's biggest franchises never made the jump.
Nintendo has announced the arrival of three old-school games cominf to. Members can now try out the Super Famicom games Wrecking Crew ’98 and Amazing Hebereke and the SNES title Super R-Type. Of the three games, only Super R-Type was previously released outside of Japan.
Nintendo has added another new batch of games to the Nintendo Switch Online library, and though many may be unfamiliar with the new additions, it’s fair to say they had their fair share of fans back in the day (which was, admittedly, quite long ago).
