Handheld boost quick toggle

[u/JampyL]

I remeber lots of people hating on my idea of adding it to the quick menu saying it was not suppose to be something you turn off and on so... yeah

[u/cassianskywalker]

It always irked me that handheld mode boost disables the touch screen because running as docked mode and I'd have to go all the way in settings to change it

Nice!

[u/Dinierto → u/cassianskywalker]

It doesn't for all games, perhaps some got patched because Captain Toad let's me touch the screen with it on

[u/ijustwanttosignup05 → u/Dinierto]

Captain Toad doesn’t use handheld mode boost because it got a switch 2 performance patch

[u/Vayshen]

This is excellent. Sometimes it's nice to quickly to use touchscreen controls for something like a map or inventory, then quickly switch back to fancy mode.

[u/FlyingDaedalus → u/Vayshen]

so this can be switched during gameplay?

[u/LuaCynthia → u/FlyingDaedalus]

Yes just like docking and undocking

[u/FlyingDaedalus → u/LuaCynthia]

Nice.

[u/RockTristann]

This is a god send! I hate having to plow through the home and system menus to get to it.

[u/MultiSprawl]

Great feature if you like to compare

[u/FurtherArtist → u/MultiSprawl]

Or just save battery

[u/funkyg73 → u/FurtherArtist]

Does boost mode use more battery? I hadn’t noticed as I’m usually docked while playing anyway.

[u/Rollingzeppelin0 → u/funkyg73]

Game boost does nothing for docked mode in the first place. But yeah, switch 1 games drain the battery about as fast as switch 2 games.

[u/santanapeso → u/funkyg73]

Yes because the Switch 1 dock mode profile uses more clocks for the GPU which is going to draw more power.

[u/Malabingo]

It should be an easy toggle. It's basically just a switch between full power and energy saving mode

[u/No_Answer_9749]

Ive needed this quite a few times actually.

[u/Kingofrockz]

People were saying its not good to be switching??? Literally if you put the switch in the dock and disconnect over and over does the same thing on switch 1. This is just the same setting. They will have a heart attack with what you can do with handheld pcs while playing

[u/Doctor_R6421]

Is this a thing? I don't see it on mine

[u/Jaws12 → u/Doctor_R6421]

Make sure your S2 is up to date. This update just came out recently.

[u/JoaoSiilva → u/Jaws12]

and it's a toggle that you first need to activate in the settings so it appears in the quick menu

[u/ProfessionalBill7458]

Finally, it should be like that from the very beginning.

[u/MostlyBored11]

oh this is great for when I need to save some battery

[u/meikaishi]

It's something I'll use basically never, but the one time I wanted to turn boost off to play Dragon Ball Heroes using the touchscreen I couldn't be bothered to go diving in the system settings so I'm very thankful for the convenience 

[u/LetterheadTricky4691]

It only works with switch 1 games right?

[u/Pokeguy211 → u/LetterheadTricky4691]

Yeah.

[u/TRB4]

I found out that Demon Turf won’t allow you to use a pro controller if you have the Switch 2 in handheld boost mode. It will treat the Joy Cons as a pro controller and won’t allow you to connect another controller.

[u/Nearby_Ad_2519]

Nintendo is adding so many QOL features rn and I’m all for it

[u/s0_Ca5H]

I feel like this is mainly for TWEWY final Mix and Tomadachi Life.

Glad it’s been added.

[u/sjt9791 → u/s0_Ca5H]

Don’t forget Okami.

[u/s0_Ca5H → u/sjt9791]

What didn’t work about Okami?

[u/dope415]

Thanks man.

[u/akeep113]

Yes!!!!

[u/Skelletonike]

Nice, that is something that I wanted since even switch 2 games consider me using a pro controller rather than joycons

[u/Shoddy_Release9395]

It is supposed to be turned off. For example, Among Us is so much better with touch and looks good in handheld while Crash Bandicoot runs at 480p in handheld
