Ten games that deserve to be updated on Nintendo Switch 2

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition

Our first choice obviously turns to the biggest recent outing of Nintendo on Nintendo Switch: Xenoblade Chronicles X. Originally released on Wii U, Xenoblade Chronicles X is a spin-off of the numbered episodes of the series that put above all on freedom of exploration. At the time, on Wii U, it was already a feat to run such a game on the console, and it continues on Nintendo Switch. A free update aimed at improving resolution as well as the image frequency on a potential Nintendo Switch 2 would be more than welcome.

LEGO Horizon Adventures

You may not expect to find a PlayStation game in this list, and yet here it is. Lego Horizon Adventures on Nintendo Switch is a good version below that out on PlayStation 5. This is why an update improving the overall performance of the game is more than necessary. In Lego Horizon Adventures, you relive the adventures of Aloy from the first opus of horizon in a much more simplistic way, with always the characteristic humor of Lego games at the rendezvous.

Paper Mario: the millennial door

Paper Mario: The millennial door also seemed an obvious choice to us, mainly because its original version on Nintendo Gamecube (2004) offered a fluidity to 60 frames per second, unlike the Nintendo Switch version limited to 30 frames per second. A free update would therefore be desirable to find the original game sensations.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon

While we verify certain information concerning the Nintendo Switch version of Paper Mario: the millennial door, we came across an interview with the director of Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon which expresses its understanding of the choice of developers of Paper Mario, because it was itself confronted with a similar problem during the design of its game. oscillated between 30 and 50 images per second. Although released in 2023, it would be good for Abebe Tinari to plunge back into his game to offer us the real experience he originally wanted to offer.

Princess Peach: Showtime!

Although Princess Peach: Showtime! was not a huge commercial success, all the people trying in the title could see that even the display at 30 frames per second was not stable and that particularly long loading times were at work. A small update to settle this and Princess Peach will be able to advance in her adventure without the slightest difficulty.

Metroid Prime Remastered

With the first images of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, we had a first glimpse of what the Metroid Prime universe returns to Nintendo Switch 2. On Nintendo Switch, the game offered a resolution of 600p in portable mode and 900p in TV mode, all while keeping 60 images per second constant. With an upgrade, we hope to improve the resolution as well as compatibility with the mouse mode of Joy-Con 2.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

With Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Nintendo offered us the ultimate version of a series that started on Nintendo 64. Apart from adding a more advanced story mode, it is difficult to imagine what a new title opus could bring. This is why we think that we should resume the development of the current title by adding new characters or improving its performance to reach, let’s dream a little, the 120 images per second in 1080p, which would be ideal for a fighting game.

Astral Chain

Released in August 2019, Astral Chain is an exclusive Nintendo Switch developed by Platinumgames. Due to the technical limitations of the Nintendo Switch, Platinumgames had to make compromises which affected the graphics of Astral Chain. Sparklings, limited display distance and fairly pronounced popping during certain sequences displeased many players. An update of the game would correct these defects and restore visibility to this title which deserves to be more known.

Fantasy Life I: The time thief

Expected for May 21, Fantasy Life I: The time thief will mark the return of Level-5 to Nintendo console after a long absence. Although no Nintendo Switch 2 version has been announced to date, the title will offer superior graphic qualities on PlayStation 5, for example, what we would like to have on Nintendo Switch 2. While the next Inazuma Eleven and Professor Layton are planned on Nintendo Switch 2, it would seem logical that it is the same for this new opus An update offered at the launch of the console.

Tomodachi Life: a dream life

Announced shortly before the detailed presentation of the Nintendo Switch 2, Tomodachi Life: a dream life will undoubtedly be one of the last games to be released on Nintendo Switch from Nintendo. It is difficult to imagine how this title could benefit from the capacities of the Nintendo Switch 2, except perhaps via a 4K resolution or the use of the touchscaping of the console. Go to 2026 to get the answer.
