My aging, stick drift-wracked original Switch was stacked with a library of games I honestly forgot I owned. The Switch 2, with its bigger, brighter display, has breathed new life into this backlog, and it has become my new excuse to revisit Hades and Kentucky Route Zero. A new batch of naysayers claim the screen isn’t worth playing your older 2D titles on due to reported ghosting issues, but the specs are much more complicated than any not-a-tweet post on X may imply.
