Nintendo rolls out Switch 2 updates for Super Mario Odyssey and other 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 – visual upgrades (resolution, frame rates and HDR)

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

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

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

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

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

  • Pokémon Scarlet – visual upgrades (resolution, frame rates)

  • Pokémon Violet – visual upgrades (resolution, frame rates)

  • Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury – 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 – visual upgrades (resolution, frame rates), GameShare (two players, local / online GameChat sharing)

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

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

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