How Much to Upgrade Switch Games to Switch 2 Edition?

Nintendo has confirmed the cost to upgrade from the original Switch edition to the Switch 2 version for two more games: Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree. The upgrades are not cheap. Upgrading The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will cost $9.99. However, Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree upgrades are priced higher. While exact US prices are yet to be announced on the American Nintendo eShop, the UK Nintendo eShop lists the upgrade pack at £16.99 / €19.99, significantly more than the £7.99 / €9.99 charged for upgrading either Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom.

Switch 2: Game-Key Cards?

It's been revealed that almost all physical third-party Nintendo Switch 2 games in Japan so far are Game-Key Cards, and it appears the same trend is occurring in the West. In the US, Sega's Switch 2 games, including Sonic X Shadow Generations and Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut, are also Game-Key Cards. Out of the games we've found, only four third-party physical Switch 2 games aren't Game-Key Cards: Cyberpunk 2077, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, and No Sleep For Kaname Date - From AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES Aiba Edition.

Switch 2 Game Previews

IGN recently got hands-on with two of the most anticipated Switch 2 games: Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World. Both titles are available for preorder now, and here's what Brian Altano and Logan Plant had to say about these launch titles.

Donkey Kong Bananza: "I also think Bananza is on track to be one of the most gorgeous Nintendo games I’ve seen. It really does take advantage of Switch 2's hardware – the environments are beautiful and DK’s animations are wonderfully expressive, and I left feeling like the next generation of first-party Nintendo games had truly arrived."

Mario Kart World: "Mario Kart World feels like the definitive Switch 2 launch game and will certainly be one of the defining games of the Switch 2 generation. The new open world format and Knockout Tour modes are massive new additions to the franchise, the visuals are gorgeous, the gameplay is a blast, and we can’t wait to play more, even if we wish it was a few bucks cheaper."
