If you've pre-ordered Switch 2 and have any of these games, Nintendo has a gift for you

The launch of Switch 2 will take place next month and Nintendo is already preparing for it. So much so that it has announced a series of free updates for some of its most iconic video games.

As confirmed through its official X , from June 5, certain games in the Nintendo Switch catalog "will receive free updates to provide a better gaming experience on Nintendo Switch 2."

Among the confirmed games are Super Mario 3D World Bowser's Fury, Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker or New Super Mario Bros U. Deluxe, for example.

They are not the only ones, as they have also confirmed that Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Purple, Arms, and Brig Brain Academy: Battle of Wits - among others - will receive these updates.

Each game will have its own improvements, as reported on its official website, and they will be completely free. For example, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe will receive visual improvements

More specifically, there will be an "optimization for the Nintendo Switch 2 screen and high-resolution TVs to deliver better image quality."

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet will receive a similar update and, in addition, the frame rate will be improved. It will have an "improvement for Nintendo Switch 2 to offer a smoother viewing of movements".

Other games, such as Super Mario 3D World or Super Mario Odyssey, will go further, as they will also add HDR compatibility on screens that it.

In general, almost all the games that appear will be compatible with GameShare, thus enhancing their multiplayer factor through the new Nintendo Switch 2 function.

In general, these changes are welcome, especially since they can be enjoyed completely free of charge. Then we'll have to see if these visual changes are noticeable or not, so I'm looking forward to seeing how far they'll be able to go.
