A handful of major first-party Nintendo Switch titles are set to get paid native versions for the upcoming Switch 2, but several others will also be getting upgrades of their own. Enhancements for these titles will be smaller in scale, though they will be free, unlike the aforementioned exorbitantly priced ones, so there’s that.

Nintendo has revealed that Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe will all receive such free Switch 2 enhancements. Super Mario Odyssey will add HDR support on the next-gen console, in addition to visual optimizations and improved picture quality, as well as GameShare support. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury will offer the same enhancements, though Bowser’s Fury will be the only one to add HDR support. New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, meanwhile, promises improved picture quality on the Switch 2.

Additionally, Nintendo confirms that similar free Switch 2 upgrades will also be released for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, ARMS, Game Garage Builder, Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics, and Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain.

Free Switch 2 enhancements are also headed on the console’s launch day for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, as well as The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Link’s Awakening.

Super Mario Odyssey, ARMS, and More Will Receive Free Nintendo Switch 2 Updates

As teased before the Direct, various Nintendo Switch titles will receive dedicated Switch 2 Editions. These include The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom, Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree. However, Nintendo has also confirmed free updates for various other Switch 1 titles to “improve” their playability on the Switch 2.

The list is as follows:

ARMS
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Super Mario Odyssey
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury
Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
Game Builder Garage
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
Pokémon Scarlet/Violet
Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain

The updates in question “may” improve performance or implement GameShare, but as Nintendo notes, the content varies from game to game. So if the fidelity of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet isn’t up to snuff, try not to be too disappointed.

Of course, it’s possible that Nintendo could release updates for additional titles in the future. Time will tell, so stay tuned.

The Nintendo Switch 2 arrives on June 5th for $449.99. Launch titles include Mario Kart World (which costs an eye-watering $79.99 digitally), Hitman World of Assassination – Signature Edition, Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, and much more.

This includes newer games like Metroid Dread, which has sold 2.74 million copies as of December 31st 2021.

The other new title released in the quarter was Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain with 1.28 million sales since launching on December 3rd. Game Builder Garage managed to sell 1.01 million units while WarioWare: Get It Together!, which launched in September 2021, hit 1.24 million sales.

Well, say what you will about Nintendo, but one cannot say that they don’t know how to surprise. While we largely know Nintendo’s first party lineup throughout the rest of the year, with WarioWare: Get It Together!, Metroid Dread and Advance Wars 1 + 2, it seems the company had one last surprise for us, and what a random surprise it was with the return of Big Brain Academy after a 15 year dormancy.

As announced by the company, the franchise will return with Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain. This will mark the first game in the series since Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree that released in 2007. Big Brain Academy will see you engage in several brain teasing puzzles, such as number memorizing and matching, in quick paced minigames. Brain vs Brain looks to be multiplayer focused as you compete against friends, family and other players online with up to 4 players. You can check out the reveal trailer below as well as some samples of the type of gameplay you can expect.

Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain will release on the Nintendo Switch on the same day as Advance Wars 1 + 2: Re-Boot Camp on December 3rd.
