Nintendo Switch 2 has a list of free updates for a ton of original Nintendo Switch games. However, players have found out some games that weren't on that list are also running better on Switch 2 (like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate) while others are having some unintended issues (also like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate).
Despite being Shigeru Miyamoto's favourite child, Pikmin, is completely absent from the Switch 2 upgrade list. The Switch ports of the first three games and Pikmin 4 are backwards compatible but didn't get patched in order to take advantage of the Switch 2's features, which is frankly criminal considering how much of a slam dunk mouse controls for Pikmin would be. In fact, Pikmin 3 Deluxe is actually listed as a game "with issues that have been resolved, or are planned to be resolved, by an update" by Nintendo, and fans have quickly discovered why.
