More Switch games are getting Switch 2 upgrades

More original Switch games are getting the Switch 2 treatment. Although their enhancements are subtler than the Switch 2 editions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, at least these will be free updates.

Most of the platform's big Mario games are included: Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. You'll also find the platform's top-down Zelda titles: Echoes of Wisdom and Link's Awakening. A pair of Pokémon games makes the cut: Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. Even Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker gets in on the action.
