How Much to Upgrade Switch Games to Switch 2 Edition?

Nintendo has quietly confirmed the cost of upgrading two more Switch games from the original Switch edition to the Switch 2 edition: Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree. While upgrading The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will cost $9.99, both Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree will cost more than double that amount. Although precise U.S. prices are not yet available on the American Nintendo eShop, the UK Nintendo eShop lists the upgrade pack for £16.99 / €19.99, significantly higher than the £7.99 / €9.99 charged for upgrading either Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom.

Switch 2: Game-Key Cards?

Recent reports indicate that almost all physical third-party Nintendo Switch 2 games revealed so far in Japan are Game-Key Cards, and it appears the same trend is emerging in the West. In the US, Sega's Switch 2 games, such as Sonic X Shadow Generations and Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut, are listed as Game-Key Cards. We've identified only four third-party physical Switch 2 games that are not 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 went hands-on with two of the biggest upcoming Switch 2 games: Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World, both available for preorder today. Here's what Brian Altano and Logan Plant had to say about these highly anticipated 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."
