Nintendo has attracted a lot of resentment with the price of the Switch 2 and its games, but the pre-release will likely be a complete success. Now we know which Switch 1 title will receive a free graphics update for the new console. More than 11 matches may exhaust additional performance.
What does enhanced graphics mean?
Nintendo promises “optimized representation” for the TV and on the console itself for almost all titles. Nintendo doesn’t go into detail here. It can therefore be assumed that titles that receive enhanced graphics are mainly presented at a higher resolution. The group does not comment on how high this is. The Switch 2 can display Full HD for the first time in portable mode, and up to 4K resolution on the TV is even possible.
Overview of all titles
The overview of Nintendo’s computer base shows that after the update only this graphics improvement remains for many games. Only a few games, specifically three, therefore support a higher frame rate and are likely to exhaust the console’s new 120Hz screen.
Many titles, on the other hand, receive HDR support and support for Gameshare to share the game with friends in the region if you want to play with them. All updates are due for release on June 5.

Paid Updates
In addition to free updates, Nintendo also sells so-called upgrade packs for some titles, but will then be considerably more expensive. These games are then also equipped with graphical updates, but also, in part, with content innovations to take advantage not only of the console’s new technical capabilities, but also of the new Joy-Cons.
