However, the Nintendo Switch 2 might be the most meaningful implementation yet.

The improvements make games look better, play smoother, and sometimes even add brand-new features.

For example,Super Mario PartyJamboree gets a newJamboree TVexpansion that uses the Switch 2s updated Joy-Con 2 controllers.

These optimized games might have better graphics, faster load times, or higher frame rates.

Xbox’s “Smart Delivery” system also makes upgrades from Xbox One versions more seamless than on PS5.

But this idea should be much bigger.

Making this program larger would be great for both players and Nintendo.

Updating older games with new content and better performance brings back attention, increasing sales and attracting new fans.

This shows off what the Switch 2 can do by making familiar games look and play better.
