Nintendo Switch list all GameShare games

Tying in with the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, we’ve put together a complete list of games that support GameShare. We’ll be updating this post over time as well.

GameShare is brand new for Nintendo Switch 2. With the feature, select titles allow you to play with others even if they don’t own a copy of the game. Even more interesting, you can share games locally with those that have the original Nintendo Switch. It’s possible to link up with up to three other systems at a time. We’ll also mention that GameShare supports online play with other Nintendo Switch 2 systems.

How Nintendo could handle Mario Kart World updates

Today, we’re discussing Mario Kart World and how Nintendo could add new content to the game, plus the kind of characters and courses we could wind up seeing.

To start, we need to make something clear right away: Mario Kart World is a fantastic game as-is. Is it worth $80 when purchased outside the bundle? That’s up for you to decide, but ultimately Nintendo could further bolster the game with free updates. Think of it this way: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe cost $60 on launch even though it was a port and not an all-new title, and then it received a $25 DLC pack on top of that – which adds up to an $85 price tag (although you can technically borrow the DLC for free with a Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack plan). This is a big assumption, but Nintendo could potentially earn back some good will by releasing free updates. It’s also entirely possible that Nintendo decides to charge for DLC packs – it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if they did, but we feel like Mario Kart World has already received some substantial backlash for its $80 price tag. Adding DLC on top of that wouldn’t make the situation much better.

Hogwarts Legacy frame rate resolution

Digital Foundry is offering a technical deep dive on the new Nintendo Switch 2 version of Hogwarts Legacy, covering the main tidbits such as frame rate and resolution. We also get further insight into how it holds up against other versions.

Here’s the full rundown:

A bit of an odd discovery has been made as Nintendo Switch 2 supports VRR when docked, even though the system itself isn’t currently capable of using that feature.

This all came about with a Steam Deck test, which can be done with a female-to-male USB-C extension cable. It turns out the the Nintendo Switch 2 dock supports VRR once you plug that device into it. The Verge tested that 4K VRR does actually work at up to 120 frames per second rather than relying only on SteamOS’ flag that it was supported and also downloaded a tool to ensure that it was functioning properly.
