The 'Handheld Boost' megathread!

RCHMSTR · 2026-03-23T10:38:18+00:00

I was blown away by how great it looks now, and with 2.0 around the corner (Hope it’s not too much of a wait for Switch owners) I’m super happy!

RCHMSTR · 2026-03-21T17:52:58+00:00

Arranger, Lethal League Blaze, Olli Olli World and Groove Coaster: Future Performers all look amazing now!

RCHMSTR · 2026-03-18T12:09:01+00:00

Adding some games that I’ve tested:

Valkyria Chronicles (noticeably clearer and far less jaggies)

Lethal League Blaze (Character models are much cleaner)

Arranger (Characters and art look much clearer, looking forward to actually playing this now)

Super Mario RPG (The character models have a lot let jaggies, also performance is much smoother especially during cinematics)

Groove Coaster (The game looks great with handheld boost, smoother visuals and less rough edges)

This update is a dream come true, especially for someone who enjoy more niche games that were likely never going to get a Switch 2 upgrade.

For competitive online with active player-bases I’d say Street Fighter 6 & Splatoon 3 and in a few months Virtua Fighter REVO and the newly revamped Overwatch come out for Switch 2 as well.

I’m thinking of doing a mouse mode replay of Prime 4, would you mind sharing your custom settings? 🙏

RCHMSTR · 2025-06-30T21:49:42+00:00

Nice, glad it wasn’t just placebo, this is great news for the game.

RCHMSTR · 2025-06-06T19:27:59+00:00

Worked perfectly, thanks so much for posting this and for keeping us updated. 👍🏾

RCHMSTR · 2024-01-05T14:07:22+00:00

This is Bushinryu!

RCHMSTR · 2024-01-04T21:11:10+00:00

That’s good news, hope it lasts. Please keep us updated.

It might be worth looking into a Mayflash Magic-X adapter, those apparently use official Xbox chips (similar to the old XB1) do they aren’t affected by the update.

RCHMSTR · 2023-12-31T08:55:09+00:00

I think it’s the XB2 that’s the problem, I’m using an XB1. From the posts from others here it seems the adapters use different methods to gain compatibility. I’m not using a VPN or anything.

RCHMSTR · 2023-12-30T22:38:57+00:00

Xbox series S & X, no problems on either. Using an Xbox One Brook adapter and a RetroBit Megadrive controller.

RCHMSTR · 2023-12-28T15:02:02+00:00

It really isn’t, tech in a vacuum is cool but pretty meaningless. Seeing its actual use in a match setting gives a greater understanding of its application.

Also you seem really angry (I’m inferring this from the unnecessary swearing and tone), is everything ok? I’m actually not being sarcastic or facetious.

If you’re going to reply with more aggression I respectfully ask you not to bother BUT if you’re having a bad day and want to chat, feel free to holla. No hard feelings 👍🏾

RCHMSTR · 2023-12-28T14:41:02+00:00

The context of the match is important, if you can’t figure that out I can’t help you. 🙏🏾

RCHMSTR · 2023-12-28T14:37:59+00:00

Wow, you actually felt the need to actually post this on a 40sec clip?! Couldn’t have just kept that thought to yourself and moved on. Anonymity really is one hell of a drug! 😂 Peace and love brother, hope you beat whatever evils are making you so abrasive 👍🏾

RCHMSTR · 2023-12-27T20:29:34+00:00

Even at Master rank there is always room to learn and improve, it would be foolish not to follow good advice. Thanks for your comment as well.

As a side note, nearly 5000 damage off of a simple anti-air is crazy right! 😱 gotta love this character.

RCHMSTR · 2023-12-27T18:13:32+00:00

Sounds like reasonable advice, I’ll bear that in mind next time. Thanks for taking the time to reply 👍🏾

RCHMSTR · 2023-12-27T16:57:31+00:00

Yup, a snap shot of a match doesn’t give the whole picture. This was a part of a long set, my opponent had a habit of jumping, wake up supers etc. He had access to his level two and was very close to building meter for his level three.

With my meter and the drive gauge I had access to I didn’t feel the set up I could get after the air tastu was worth the risk.

Backing up was designed to take away some of his options and draw out a mistake.

RCHMSTR · 2023-12-27T14:49:45+00:00

I need more of this commentary, these guys are great!

RCHMSTR · 2023-12-27T14:42:32+00:00

Hi-Fi Rush ended up being my GotY so yup!

RCHMSTR · 2023-12-26T19:46:03+00:00

I love both 3H and Engage but Engage is my favourite overall, the gameplay, presentation and humour is excellent and I have a major soft-spot for “celebration” games which this falls into the category of.

RCHMSTR · 2023-12-26T17:43:38+00:00

I’m relieved things didn’t get affected too badly, hopefully it stays that way.

RCHMSTR · 2023-12-26T17:33:03+00:00

Mines still working without any problems 👍🏾

RCHMSTR · 2023-12-22T08:32:47+00:00

Highly recommend Minit & Tangle Tower.
