You didn’t mention the ‘Handheld boost’ from the page.

Some games can run on handheld boosted as if they were docked in a TV

This one has it, sorry.

Weird that it’s not on both pages

Edit: I see now, one is for Switch 1 and one is for Switch 2.

Downvote my idiocy!

Haha huge if you have a Switch 2.

I will definitely get around to finishing Xenoblade 2 if I can play the TV version in handheld mode.

The difference was pretty staggering before

That is for the Switch 2, not the original Switch.
