With the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, many of the games available on previous consoles will receive enhanced editions.
Most of them will be sold separately or as a paid upgrade, but as it turns out, you won't have to pay for some of them.
Here's What We Know
Nintendo has published on its website a list of games that will receive free improvements for Switch 2. So, on 5 June - the console's launch day - gamers will be able to upgrade 12 games:
- Arms
- Big Brain Academy
- Captain Toad
- Clubhouse Games
- Game Builder Garage
- New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
- Pokémon Scarlet
- Pokémon Violet
- Super Mario 3D World
- Super Mario Odyssey
- Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
- Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.
Some of these will be graphical improvements, a number of titles will get HDR and GameShare support, and Game Builder Garage will utilise the Joy-Con 2 controller's new mouse mode feature.
