While we knew a few games were getting updates already, it turns out it’s more than Nintendo initially let on, with over 15 games getting a performance update. To clarify, there are two different categories of original Switch games getting enhanced for Nintendo Switch 2 — ones getting new content, and ones simply getting performance and technical updates. The six games getting expanded “Nintendo Switch 2 Editions” require a $10 upgrade because of substantial new content, or you can simply buy the Switch 2 edition. Visuals: Optimized for the Nintendo Switch 2 display and high-resolution TVs for improved image quality. Frame rate: Optimized for smoother movement on Nintendo Switch 2 (including Bowser’s Fury).
