Topic: Multiple Switch Games To Receive Switch 2 Updates

Would you like a potentially fine Scarlet and Violet, or would you like another "this will give ARMS legs" joke?

It won't just be Switch 2 Edition games that improve from their original form, but some old games will be getting updates.

Nintendo has posted a page detailing games that will receive updates post-Switch 2 launch for better compatibility, or to simply make use of the system's power or features. The games are:

• Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
• The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Link's Awakening
• Super Mario Odyssey
• Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
• Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Games - this will add support for the Switch 2 camera
• New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
• Big Brain Academy: Brain vs Brain
• Game Builder Garage
• Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
• ARMS

Why on Earth did they not mention this in the Direct?  They made it sound like all Switch 2 upgrades would be a paid upgrade.  Having some paid upgrades but also the option for games to just run better on the Switch 2 for free is a much better sell than paid-only.

I guess they did mention Clubhouse Games.  I had forgotten by the time they got to the Switch 2 upgrades part though.

These are probably the canceled "Switch Pro" enhancements that aren't major enough to justified charging for. Like more stable frame rates and resolution (for the games the dynamically scale down) but not 4K 60fps. BotW and TotK probably had enhancements made as well but I doubt they will undermine the sales of the upgrade by releasing them.
