On June 5, which is also the Switch 2's launch day, Nintendo is rolling out
new features for N64 games on Switch Online. If you just want to play to
relax and not worry about in-game lives, the ability to rewind will perhaps
sound like the most useful among the upcoming features. It will let you,
well, rewind the game if you make a mistake so you can try again from that
point. Failed to a get a birdie on Mario Golf? No problem. Just access the
feature and choose from the panels at the bottom that show up to choose which
point you'd like to start from again. That said, the function will only be
accessible on the Switch 2.

Another new feature coming to N64 games is the CRT filter. Yes, it will give
your game that old CRT TV look by putting a pixelated texture on top of it.
If you've originally played N64 titles on old TVs, it could be a fantastic
throwback to your youth. Like the rewind function, though, the option will be
exclusively available on the Switch 2. It's not quite clear why it won't be
rolling out on Switch consoles, as well. If you're not getting the new
console, the only update you're getting on June 5 is the ability to check
what each controller button does on the game you're playing. You can then
change what each button does to make the controls easier for you.
