Alright, so here’s the scoop – or, maybe “scoop” is too big a word, but you get it. Picture this: Nintendo’s cooking up free updates for some of their Switch 1 games. Yep, good old freebies, and who doesn’t love free stuff? Anyway, the details are out in the wild now.
So, there was this webpage. I was just browsing, and boom, there it was with the release date—June 5. That’s the same day the Switch 2 hits the shelves, coincidental, right? Or maybe planned? Who knows.
Here’s a messy rundown of what’s what:
– Framerate improvements: We’re talking ARMS, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. Like, the visuals moving smoother than butter on a summer afternoon.
– Next up is visual fidelity. Sounds fancy. ARMS again, Captain Toad (love that guy), Game Builder Garage, and a bunch more. Think everything just looks… sharper? Like watching TV on one of those massive HD screens in a store you can’t afford.
– HDR support. I won’t pretend I fully get what HDR is, but it’s apparently in ARMS, Captain Toad, Bowser’s Fury – oddly specific, huh? – plus a few more. Maybe it’s like seeing colors more… vividly?
– Oh, and GameShare support. Super Mario and Captain Toad diving in here again. Feel like everywhere I turn, Captain Toad isn’t far behind.
– And last but not least, mouse support with Joy-Con 2 for Game Builder Garage. Imagine playing with a mouse on a console. Kinda wild, right?
So, uh, there it is in all its mishmash glory. Did I miss something? Probably. But who’s keeping track anyway?
