This week on Podcasting With Power, we break down Nintendo’s newly revealed Switch 2 Handheld Mode Boost, a feature designed to enhance the performance and visuals of original Switch games when played on the newer system. From smoother framerates to sharper image quality, we talk about what this could mean for your existing library and why it might be one of the most important features of the Switch 2.

We're also happy to see Elden Ring's Switch 2 port looking better than it did before, and we unpack the surprising appearance of Pikmin in promotional material for the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie!

Our smaller headlines this week include Pokemon XD's arrival on GameCube Classics, impressive Resident Evil Requiem sales numbers, an excellent collection of old Marvel games, and more!
