I don't suspect any of these to be ground breaking, but glad there are a decent amount of free upgrades even for Nintendo's cherished first party titles.

I waited with Echoes for this, will be my main S2 game besides Kart.
My Switch backlog is significant, so here's hoping for more performance upgrades. Also curious to see if games run better without patches. Games like Hyrule Warriors AoC, Bayonetta 3, Mario & Luigi, Xenoblade 3... All are in my backlog waiting for Switch 2.

I've still not played Echoes of Wisdom so I'll pick that up when I get a S2 next year.

Same. My gf is playing it and it legit looks great.

I'm actually quite excited to go back to some old games for the paid and free add ons.

Never completed toads treasure tracker. I've got like half of kirby to do as well.

Can't wait for June!
 
Big Brain Academy, Super Mario 3D World, Clubhouse Games, Captain Toad and Super Mario Odyssey are all being promoted on Nintendo's site as featuring Game Share. Tempering expectations, this might be the only point of the free patches.

I mean, hopefully they'll improve some frame rates and resolutions, but that's not a guarantee. Especially the Zelda games need some frame boosts.
 
And there is going to be a big list of games that naturally get quote unquote updated if they ran with a dynamic resolution or unstable frame rate.
 
That the industry is paywalling performance and resolution "upgrades" for old games at all is exactly why I think the industry needs to suffer more.
 
No FE: Three houses? I'm disaponted. I love this game but It looks like a ps2 game and runs like shit on switch 1.

Was hoping to see Xenoblade games in that list....

I'll replay all of them off they're confirmed and will finally but the DLCs since I never played those, really the games I'm more interested in are Xenoblade 3 and FR.

BTW I played Bowser's Fury last year and after beating main content I wanted to do the rest but Bowser appears like in 30 seconds and never goes away again, if I fight him then I'll have to go through final battle and credits again, is there a way to avoid this?

"free updates that may improve performance or add support for features such as GameShare in select games. The contents of these free updates will differ depending on the game."

Not even promising performance or IQ improvements in all of those games…
