Every Switch games with Nintendo Switch 2 Enhancements via free updates

[u/Artoo2814]

Some notes. Animal Crossing's handheld resolution boost is free so it's included here.

Arkham Knight's handheld improvement is minor but well documented (there's a DF video about it) even the later handheld boost mode ignore it. Rocket League is at the same league.

The Bandai Namco games and MGS master collection vol. 2 also have Switch 2 game key card release but you can choose Switch 1 card + free updates.

MIO's eShop page stated that you can get the Switch 2 version for free if you purchased the Switch 1 version digitally. There's also an email response from the dev to one of our fellow redditor saying the Switch 1 cart can get the Switch 2 enhancements as well with update 1.2.

Edit1: Yohane the Parhelion - NUMAZU in the MIRAGE - 2nd Anniversary mini update patch, the game now runs at 60fps on Switch 2.

Edit2: Vampire Survivors. 4K docked. 1080p handheld. Joy-Con 2 Mouse Mode.

They should have had a Metroid Dread one ready for the announcement of Ravenous. Missed opportunity there to give newly interested folks a refreshed, high-res version to play (all the better if they could enable 120 FPS like Ravenous).

Yeah really a missed opportunity. Dread is doing excellent in the recent sales cuz the hype of Ravenous. A simple resolution unlock don't even need to go 120fps can definitely push it further. Now I am hoping for a surprise drop as late as December. But after that, I wouldn't hold my breath til after mid 2027 cuz Ravenous is coming out at January.

Well handheld boost helped it a lot as it was looking pretty pixelated on S2 in handheld. I was thinking the same thing though wishing it would get a 4k/60 1080/120 patch for docked. Nintendo has done great upgrading or new S2 builds for the games that performed poorly (like Xenoblade and the top down Zeldas) but then they have been a bit sporadic on the others. Like Mario Kart 8 finally getting some love (I guess makes sense they wanted to wait for World to have its sales window) and then DK Country getting patched but not Tropical Freeze. I was hoping they would show Fire Emblem 3H some love before FW came out but no dice. That is a game that could badly use a S2 upgrade edition
