I know screen capture kits exist for the more modern dedicated handhelds. Not sure about the older systems like GB or GG though. If only we could get Jeremy Parish posting in here :P
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker
I really think captain toad is one of the best looking games on switch! What a great art style. And its simplicity makes it look cleaner than odyssey
That's the switch version, right? I thought the low resolution scaling I had to adjust to on my win 2 was blurry, but... Damn. At least the art direction is good. How is this game so poorly optimized?Caligula Effect Overdose

Doesn't look all that blurry to me, from Switch standards. Looks like 400-something p to me. On the blurrier side, sure, but on the 6.2 inch screen those usually look fine. What resolution do you run it on the GPD?
Given the scaling somewhere around 600p(it goes from 25-45 FPS). The reason why I mention this game in particular is that it's a vita port, so it shouldn't be running on such a low resolution on more powerful hardware. I was thinking the switch port would be higher res and that it was just particularly unoptimized on windows, but this game's just poorly optimized in general.
The full game still looks noticeably blurry in handheld mode. That said, after 10 minutes of gameplay I stop noticing it. The art style is truly beautiful.
There are games that do things a PS Vita or an original XBOX could do, but which are just terribly optimized for whatever reason. This looks like it's doubly poorly optimized, because it not only runs about how I assume the Vista version does, it also runs worse than on the GPD Win 2, when the Switch generally gets more performance out of games.
So yeah, not a good look.
Aside from the low res, how is the game? I've always wanted to try it for the "Ueda charm", but I've stayed away because I've heard it also inherited the Ueda jank (which I didn't mind back in the 00s, but I have zero patience for it nowadays.)Rime switch Handheld mode.
really fun game some framerate hiccups do to loading do to the code. great music.
It's actually more noticeable on the screen. Quality mode looks super sharp. Not worth the trade-off, though.
I like the look of Unravel 2. Does it run smooth handheld?and more Unravel 2 switch handheld mode
It was remade with UE4. Vita version has nothing to do with it.
It was probably downported from PS4, its fine docked but the frame rate is not stable in handheld mode.
