Nintendo shared information about Switch 2-focused improvements coming to Switch games like Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and Super Mario Odyssey.
Nintendo announced last month that it would be updating a handful of Switch games to run better on the Switch 2, and now some details about the planned improvements are available on its website. The improvements vary per game, but they include things like optimizing visuals for the Switch 2’s larger screen, better framerates, HDR support, and GameShare support.
The full list of games getting free updates is below, and you can see the specific updates on Nintendo’s website. The updates will all be available on June 5th, the same day the Switch 2 launches: * ARMS * Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain * Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker * Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics * Game Builder Garage * New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe * Pokémon Scarlet * Pokémon Violet * Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury * Super Mario Odyssey * The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom * The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening These updates aren’t quite as big as the paid Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrades for games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Party Jamboree. But if you’re looking to revisit some older Switch games on the Switch 2, even the smaller improvements could feel welcome – especially for games like Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and the Link’s Awakening remake that sometimes struggled on the original Switch hardware.
