Details on Free Switch 1 Game Updates for Switch 2 – News

Oh man, where do I even start? So, you know how Nintendo sometimes just drops stuff out of nowhere? Well, they just threw out this thing about Switch 1 games getting all snazzy with Switch 2. Roll eyes insert here, right? Anyway, they’ve got these updates lined up — bam, free upgrades! Who doesn’t love free?

Okay, so picture this: you’re lounging around, scrolling through some webpage. Boom! There’s a June 5 date staring back at you. Launch day, folks. Like, how many of us are actually gonna notice that? But seriously, what are these improvements even? Maybe I should’ve paid more attention, but hey, let’s dive into this chaotic list of updates.

First up, “framerate improvements” for some big names — ARMS, Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, and, get this, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. Kinda feels like they’re giving them a bit of a caffeine boost or something. Speed up those pixels!

Then there’s the visual stuff. You ever just stare at a game and think, “Wow, this needs more sparkle”? Apparently ARMS, Captain Toad, and a few others are getting bedazzled. I swear, if they don’t deliver some eye candy, I’m gonna—wait, am I rambling? Ah, forget it.

Now, HDR… whatever that means in regular speak. Sounds fancy, right? ARMS again, Captain Toad, and they’re all getting this shiny new spectra… something. Bowser’s Fury gets a special mention here. Special treatment, perhaps?

GameShare pops in too. Like, am I even using this right? But for those who love a share fest, games like Big Brain Academy and Super Mario 3D World are all in. Pass the controller awkwardly, if you will.

And then Joy-Con 2 doing double duty as a mouse. Seriously, Game Builder Garage is all “Hey, isn’t this neat?” But is it? I mean, I’ve got my skeptical hat on.

Anyway, did I cover all? Who knows. But one thing’s clear: Nintendo’s basically feeding the hype train till it bursts. Some surprises would be nice, Nintendo. Just saying.
