Switch games

As promised, Nintendo has updated a bunch of Switch games to support the
Switch 2. Unlike Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, these don't
cost a dime. Just install them on your new console when it arrives, and enjoy
next-gen enhancements.

The list includes Mario's greatest hits from the Switch era. Super Mario
Odyssey, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury and New Super Mario Bros. U
Deluxe are all there. Ditto for the top-down Zelda titles: Echoes of Wisdom
and Link's Awakening.

The Switch 2 versions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom may
require a purchase. They'll set you back $70 or $80 new, but if you already
own the games, it's only $10 each. (And Switch Online Expansion Pack members
get the enhanced updates for free.) Regardless, at least you have a sharper-
looking open world to explore for paying a second time.

Here's the complete list of (free) updated games, which also includes
Pokémon and Captain Toad.

ARMS ΓÇô visual upgrades (resolution, frame rates and HDR)

Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain ΓÇô GameShare (up to four players, local /
online GameChat sharing)

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker ΓÇô visual upgrades (resolution and HDR) and
GameShare (two players in all courses, local / online GameChat sharing)

Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics ΓÇô GameShare (up to four players can
play 34 games, local / online GameChat sharing)

Game Builder Garage ΓÇô visual upgrades (resolution), Joy-Con 2 mouse control

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe ΓÇô visual upgrades (resolution)

Pokémon Scarlet – visual upgrades (resolution, frame rates)

Pokémon Violet – visual upgrades (resolution, frame rates)

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury ΓÇô visual upgrades (resolution, frame
rates and HDR), GameShare (up to four players in Super Mario 3D World, two
players in Bowser's Fury and local / online GameChat sharing)

Super Mario Odyssey ΓÇô visual upgrades (resolution, frame rates), GameShare
(two players, local / online GameChat sharing)

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom ΓÇô visual upgrades (resolution, HDR)

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening ΓÇô visual upgrades (resolution, HDR)

The Switch 2 launches on Thursday. Here's how to (maybe) still get one in
time.
