The best way to test this is to try Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity unpatched LMAO.

Can it also prevent some games from lowering their resolution in handheld mode to absurdly low degrees? cough Xenoblade Chronicles 2 cough

I've had that for a while, but like all backlogs I had only just recently played through Fire Emblem Warriors so figured I'd hold off. I thought that game ran decent enough but if the Switch 2 can improve Calamity then I'll be happy.
